Subaru Industrial V-Twin engine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The V-Twin engine series from Subaru Industrial Power Products includes six models, with power ranges from 18 to 28 horsepower. These internal combustion engines feature a dual-cylinder design that resembles a “V”, a common and identifying feature of most V-twin engines.

Technology

[edit]

Subaru’s V-Twins feature overhead valve (OHV) technology. OHV engines are known to be durable and compact in size. The OHV engine design is fairly simple and consists of a camshaft installed inside the engine block and valves are operated through lifters, pushrods and rocker arms.

Models

[edit]

The engine line was first introduced with three models, with the fourth model joining in 1998.[1] Two new engines were recently added to the V-Twin line, the 25 horsepower EH72 LP/NG and the 28 horsepower V-Twin EFI.[2]

  • EH63 – 18 horsepower
  • EH64 – 20.5 horsepower
  • EH65 – 22 horsepower

Engine Applications

[edit]

The engines are often used on hot pressure washers and generators, and a variety of larger construction equipment like trenchers, ride-on trowels, concrete saws and vibratory rollers.[3] They’re also suitable for industrial and turf applications, including large riding lawnmowers.[1]
