i am currently thinking of building a new engine and was thinking of using a 2.2, would it be best to use a stroked 2.0 or try and find a 2.2?
the reason i ask is i want to build a new engine that will be fine for big power but still be reliable, any suggestions?

 

get a 2.2

 

i thought that would be the best solution, will have to try and source one, any ideas where is best to look?

 

how about a closed deck 2.0 bored, linered and stroked? would that be as strong as a stroked 2.2?

Edit: reason being that a CDB 2.0 must be a lot easier and cheaper to find, right?

 

try all the jap imports breakers.....they always have some in stock in one form or another , otherwise it as Henrik said ....a cdb 2.0

you actually just missed one in the for sale section afew months back

ps.... a builts stroked cdb 2.2 will handle huge bhp as well , but it all depends how huge is your wallets as to what amounts of bhp the engine will take
for me personally 450 bhp is more than enough for the road!!!

 

I loved my old Type R with the EJ22t 2.35 in it... Pull like a train, but there not cheap to build...

 

i got a ej22 block that i bought for a vw conversion sadly a fire in my garage destroyed car and all my gear the ej22 block is bolloxed as of fire wont run again i dont think but be ok for spares pm me if u interested

 

theres a 2.2 on ebay international motors i just put in subaru short block in. its in u.s 600$ don,t know if thats any good to u oe and new it looks like

 

what about a 2.2na from a legacy then turbo it?

 

i would scrap the idea of 2.2 but go 2.5 and go 79mm stroke

 

ive got a 2.2 relinered with forged pistons and rods pulls like a train would recommend
