Open Deck Block, 450bhp?
#1
Hi, I have been reading the forum for a while wjilst planning my current project.I have a couple of ideas of what I'd like to do, but need some final answers to help me decide. After reading many threads on similar subjects I'm still not sure on the tolerence of a 2.2 OpenDeckBlock.
Assuming uprated internals, will an EJ22 Open deck be likely to cope with circa 450+ bhp?, with or without a headstud conversion? (presumably recommended)
Any advice, much appreciated

2.2 Open Deck???
Use the Legacy 2.2 Closed deck block..
I would definitely use headstuds.. head bolts should be fine, but whilst doing the internals it will cost hardly anymore to fit them..

I've been offered a free 2.2 to 'play' with.
I'm assuming its probably a UK version and was led to believe they were 'open'.
Headstuds are virtually a given, but wanted to double check.

for the simple fact that the block is in bits then do it..
I use 6 per side.. some people just use 2.
