friendlyjdmguy Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I'm trying to find out if trying to squeeze 250hp out of a stock 2.2l ej22 is easier than swapping it. I have no experience with swapping. Please give some positive feedback/ideas/links anything that will help. Thank you. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PorkchopSandwiches Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 ...I'm going to say one of the first two. EJ25D from a 2.5GT is only rated at 165 HP. And that's before about 15 years of wear and tear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnegg Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I'm trying to find out if trying to squeeze 250hp out of a stock 2.2l ej22 is easier than swapping it. you cannot squeeze 250 hp out of an ej22. it is not practical, not economically or mechanically. start somewhere else if that is what you want.

friendlyjdmguy Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Yea I think I'll just swap. But in the mean time anything after market for the 95 ls I'm having a hard time finding stuff besides Andy'sautosport.com Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 You could get 250 hp with an EJ22T with forged internals and the proper heads and wiring/ecu swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friendlyjdmguy Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Could I put the turbo parts on my ej22? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Plenty of people have done it. There are lots of build threads on rs2.5.com. If I were you I would search a lot and do a ton of research before deciding what direction to go. You could boost your ej22 and 'safely' run 5 psi with an intercooler but you run the risk of blowing a headgasket. To boost your ej22e using your existing wiring harness you would need a notched crossmember, turbo, full turboback exhaust, rising rate fuel pressure regulator, intercooler (if going top mount you need a hood scoop), etc. Check out blankdeluxe's turbo build thread in this forum. If you want to do an STi or WRX swap you will need the complete wiring harness from the donor vehicle and merge that with your car's harness which is no small feat. I mentioned the 22T in my above post because it is a closed deck engine and can handle a ton of boost if you machine the block for forged internals. They are really cool engines but it is not an easy swap if you go the hybrid route. Boosting a stock 22E can be asking for trouble. I would advise doing it right and saving up a ton of cash as you do all your proper research because these swaps can be very very costly and can blow up in your face if you don't do it correctly. Don't forget that to handle the power levels that you seem to be interested in will require an upgraded transmission, brakes, suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 22T block with 20G heads was the combo I'd planned on building when I had the 22T longblock in the garage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friendlyjdmguy Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Sti engine, harness and tranny. And cross member. I'm going for stock set up no upgrades just stock sti setup.
