EJ22T
i have found a place in the USA that stocks brand new closed deck ej22t blocks. i thought you couldnt get these anymore ???? what sort of prices are these normally retailing at and what sort of power can the standard block take. or is it better just to reliner a 2ltr block ????

ej257 uses medium pressure casting, not low pressure and is semi closed.
the liners are also far thinner.
for the cost of a new ej22T block (normally comes as a complete short block) I wouldn't bother.

hypereutectic pistons running low clearance are not good for boost.
I can show you pictures of an ej257 thickness liner failing.
don't knock full closed decking, it is there for a reason.
As for the I want a 2.33 so a 2.5 won't do, what possible reason could you have for expressly wanting a 2.33 over a 2.5 if the 2.5 is done properly?

i can arrange EJ22T housings through a dealer here. Problem is i'm in the Netherlands.
The housing is about 1000 pound/1500 euro delivered at my door if you're still interested. Not making any money on it by the way and i'm not sure if they have several on stock. There new from the factory
