EJ22 engine information
Hi all,
I've recent bought a project UK2000 with an engine issue. It didn't idle to well and it constantly hunts. In the last couple of weeks we've just discovered it has a EJ22 block with, I'm assuming it's from a legacy non turbo version. The car has been remapped 7 years ago and looking at the receipts it was a 2.0 block then. I've tried contacting the previous owner as you have imagine he's not answering me. So, my question is will the crank from this block cope with the extra power of forge pistons & rods? Thanks Chris |
crank should be fine but the pistons on a NA car will be a higher compression. they wont like a lot of boost.
best to start from scratch if you don't know what you've got. What are the heads from?? |

How's things my boy!
Or you may have got lucky and got a 22B block? Si I'm not that lucky. The block has EJ22 on the top, and I think for a 22B it has EJ22T or some letter after it. |

Any suggestions guys? |

Hi Matt, I finally got the block split. The heads are original (id markings inlet ID2, exhaust ED2). No piston oil jets, open deck block, so does look like its from NA EJ22 legacy.

Try the Subaru tuners Chris, bound to have some knocking about.
I'm assuming it's the original ECUTEK (which I'll be double checking) which was mapped in 2008 for the 2l, so next how's the guys to get in contact with about a remap? |
