I’m guessing there are no new EJ20 closed deck blocks available anymore and are all now refurb. Only asking as may have a future use for and would like to get a set for usage later down the line. What’s the going rate for a good set, other option may be interested in EJ22 or are they even more rare.

 

EJ22 are very rare now

 

The EJ22 as fitted to early Legacy's are not rare at all.
EJ22 does not mean 22B. Many are sold claiming to be from the 22B. Pork pies.
The EJ20 is alive but called FA20 with the DI Toyota tech added.

 

 

Ej22t and ej22 odb are 2 very different kettle of fish and the t is very rare now.
You can just about find a ej20 cdb but be prepared to pay silly retail prices.

 

What would be a reasonable price to pay for a CDB? I've got an engine sitting there waiting to be rebuild that isn't anywhere near the power to need a CDB. If the price is high I may sell it

 

 

EJ20

 

 

£200-500

 

 

Don’t think anyone would sell one for £200 if they knew what they had. But they’re not rare enough for £600+ either - seems too much.

 

£200 would be in poor condition.
£500 in unopened and good condition.
Just my opinion and I'm looking for one,I'm sure someone might pay £600+ but not me

 

 

Fair comment.
A wise man once said to me;price is subjective.

 

 

I know!
I only met him today

 

Cdb's are going for silly money nowadays imo.

 

gave £50 for my ej20 CDB but that was a few years ago now lol (starting to feel old lol)

 

Given the prices being quoted here, how much do closed deck inserts cost instead?

 

More like it

Also interested to know this.

 

 

Sorry, please explain? If I have a Block already, why not get Closed deck converted? Are you saying they fail?

 

Well I’ve had my SCD block running 500+ for a while. Ok so maybe not in anger for a lot of it but running around 1.85 bar of boost. I did wonder about closed decking it. Maybe Ayln can comment and give a price?

 

 

If it was £500 for a brand new block then fair enough,most cdb's that are for sale are old engines that have run over 100k,and require work before the build.
£500 for a cdb that's had work,from and engine builder,to get it mint before the build,Fair enough.
Not sure what a block has to do with buying fuel rails and bonnet scoops??
You can buy a brand new with forged internals scdb in a crate with zero miles for £2k.

 

they don’t, just comparing between them as I can see £500 for a good cdb but think the huge prices of other items are ridiculous.

 

No real use for 2.0 cdb's with totally unknown history when you can buy new thick wall scd blocks at good money, that perform as good.

 

But You are comparing apples and oranges. @daveriley
Bottled water is expensive when you can get it cheaper from the tap,tap water is expensive when you can get it free from the sky.
What's this got to do with a cdb?
**** all lol
