i have the chance of a ej22 block out of a legacy but its not the turbo model can this still be used for a 2.33 build

 

Don't think it will be stronger enough.

 

Why is that then ? Do you have proof of this ? I would like to know the answer to this question myself, I've been told on here that N/a engine blocks are exactly the same as the turbo ones it's just the pistons that are different, maybe once and for all someone can clear this up.

 

would love to know this my self thought people used closed deck ej22's for 2.35 builds but mite be wrong well probly am

 

I thought the EJ22 from the SOHC n/a legacy was an open deck design and not designed for forced induction where as the EJ22t was a closed deck design.

This is the answer I got when I asked about the 2.0 blocks, some of the pics have gone but you can still read the replies, not sure if this applies to 2.2 https://www.scoobynet.com/general-te...ne-blocks.html

So did I

Putting large power(the sort of power 2.35`s are built for) through a ODB will cause the bores to heat up too much and warp etc..., As opposes to a CDB which is up to the job due to having more of a solid block

 

This refers to the 2.0l N/A and the WRX block which are both open deck and use the same block, Subaru didn`t use the 2.2 CDB in the legacy N/A, They did in some of the early 2.2l Turbo versions though,

 

Some JDM Legacy(BF7 and BFB) using too EJ22G(same like is used in 22b),which are CDB

So is a 2004 Sti block the same as a 03 N/a block or is the Sti semi closed deck and the N/a block open deck ?

 

Yes,the 2004 sti block is a Semi closed and the 03 N/A is an open deck, I`ve just edited the above post as the early turbo versions of the leggy had a CDB

 

Ah ok thanks for that mate

 

I have a 2.2 CDB that I can sell you. Its got a "spun" liner in one cylinder. I say "spun" because its literally moved about 1mm if at all. Some say use as it is, others say get it relinered. Usually sell a block for £1200 but could work something out on this one if you're interested.

 

i am

 

PM me an offer mate.

Personally I'd use as it is but worse case scenario a liner will cost around £250-£300 to get sorted.

Block is otherwise mint and totally standard.

 

well tell me how much you thinking and i'll say if i can get any where near
