Thats too bad about the STi block you should see the piston

I was there most of the day helping Troy pull the motor and get the 22T ready, the above link is to a post I just made with detailed pics of the engine carnage

check out the pics of my swap

 

My 22 is still running strong 400hp for almost a year now, and been running for over 2 years. If you're gonna build a block from the bottom up....I'd say do a 22.

 

22t FTW!
Swapping is for bitches

wedge, you only changed out the rods and pistons correct? what compression ratio? did you keep the 8.0:1?

It seems like everyone hates on the EJ22T, but from this novice's eyes, it looks like a good cost performance route.

 

Only changed pistons, and yes 8:1 they are.

 

wedge, the 400hp. wheel or crank?

 

Definitely crank. I don't think my RA gears would handle 400whp at the track.

 

I don't think the block is your problem...

 

When I finally do a swap, I'll be going 22. How can you go wrong with the best block Subaru has ever made?

Wedge, is it your DD as well as track car? Do you think this would this be a good route for a DD, but maybe not quite as spicy?

That statement is highly subjective...

 

:stupid:

It is not my DD anymore. But was for over a year. With the way gas prices are now, I bought a stock RS.

So, you would say....yes?









Are you calling me stupid or Aphex28?

 

Agreeing with Aphex.

I would say if it is going to be a DD, I would swap.

 

Gotcha.

 

That statement is highly subjective...

Maybe, but it seems to have the best overall performance and tuning durability. IMHO.

I don't think the EJ257 has been around long enough to claim that title yet, but I think it will eclipse the best overall performance and tuning durability.

Exactly.

see above.

 

I think the best in the new 207 but that comes at a very steep price compared to a used 22t.

as said above, the price will come down. plus i'd rather have a phase2 block.

What is wrong with phase ones?

The money that you'll spend to do the 2.2 RIGHT (only using the case halves and crank) is going to eclipse the cost of a STi swap (JDM or USDM) and it still won't be as fast or reliable.

Ask Wege...

 

:stupid:

That is why I usually recommend swaps now. No one needs to go through what I've been through. :wtf:
However, being unique is kinda cool.
