Block off EGR with a homemade plate of steel or aluminum. Intake manifold will bolt up no problem. All 90-98 EJ22 heads have the same 41 cc chamber volume.

<---- wants to know as well. I have been giving serious thought to the pp6 or the emanage ultimate.

I have my old 4.111 4eat out of my car and matching rear diff. It works fine, just wanted to go M/T. Tranny is from a 98 leggy sedan.

Pm me if you have questions. I am local-ish, so meet in the middle to save on shipping.

I think you should give the SOHC EJ25 heads a chance. They flow well, and are supported by a few cam companies. Plus, the bolt right up w/o having to worry about any cam gear shinanigins.

Getting a better flowing head to begin with might be cheaper than porting your current heads, unless you ...

still for sale?

still for sale?


~Josh~

are you telling me they dont have a restriction on cylinders...why do they let 4 cylinders race with 6 cylinder cars? and the whole pulley issue....there all the same, the underdrive might reduce PS and ALT a little bit but i wouldnt know. dont over-pay for a name brand, they all weight the same ...

you only really need closed-deck blocks when your runnin' really high boost and agressive tuning. open-deck blocks run alot cooler than closed-deck blocks. and like what was said before, its the compression ratio that matters most.

~Josh~

yes whiteline, and they are adjustable, up to 18-22mm with a bar thickness of 22mm.


~Josh~

now we can all make fun of how your hitched and we're still single and not gettin any!!!

has anyone thought about taking a stroll over to nasioc and searching there? im sure ive seen the info on that site before.


~Josh~

ya man, check out ebay, i got my perrin lightweight pulley for $116 shipped. as far as that hybrid, find yourself a used EJ25 shortblock and throw the EJ22 heads on it instead, get your cams reground by delta cams, and have fun.........thats my plan, just waiting on gaskets and seals.

that is a very true statement, however, since your brake rotors are bigger they have some things going for them, 1, you dont have to brake as hard to stop at the same rate as without bigger brakes, and 2, the bigger rotors have more mass that takes longer to "heat soak" , when brake pads fade they ...

not to venture off topic here, but i read/heard somewhere that the EJ25 pans are a little bit bigger, like a 1/2 quart or something......is this true or just a rumor i heard?




~Josh~

i agree with Josh, man up now ladies!!!!

if you use the phase I EJ25 block with phase II EJ22 heads and the new 4 layer headgasket you should be fine, and it will put you at around 10.8:1 CR, so you can run medium grade gas instead of premium, thats my plan at least. a factor that alot of people forget about is the fact that aluminum heads ...

remember that antifreeze doesnt disperse heat better than water.....thats why you only use 25% antifreeze, 70% water and a bottle or two of that water wetter stuff that is red. try that, if you live in a colder climate, bump up the antifreeze a couple percentage points and call it done.





~Josh~

all you really need to do is swap the engine harness, you will have to take the intake off regardless, might want to do water and oil pump seals, i know wou will have to re-align the timing marks, and you should probably get a new timing belt while your at it. you can ditch the evap. emmiss ...

well for starters sounds like you need a wiring digram and a wire harness and aobut 50 hours of your spare time to tear it apart and separate the stuff you dont need. but oyu will also need the clutch kit for a 2.5RS with a really good presure plate and a decent clutch. i dont know what the ratio ...

i dont screw around with all that filling up coolant stuff anymore, added in a "T" of brass fittings to the highest point in the system, and fill form there with rad. cap off and engine running. granted i only do this on my 86', not my 98'






~Josh~

when your values are less than 5% off from lowest to highest, i think your okay. cant ask for more than that.





~Josh~

sounds cool man.........i thought that the pistons only went one way, and that you couldnt turn them 180 degrees.....well thats what haynes said.....but you know how that goes.



~Josh~

sounds like a done deal to me.........ill be getting the shortblock in 9-10 days......so i have that long to fix my 86' GL wagon........the wagon with a EJ22 under the hood........






~Josh~

Okay. A couple of things to clarify. If you go with a phase I Ej25 bottom end, you will be at around 10.8:1 CR. This is the only engine that I have built (a couple of them at this point) and have only done them with EJ22E phase I heads. I know a guy on NASIOC who did a phase II EJ25 bottom end with ...

so youre saying that there would be no real threat of leaning out, with 50% more manifold pressure and air volume going into each cylinder? i find that hard to believe, but ive been told by a few people before that less than 7 psi would not cause TOO much more damage. what is the difference that ...
