Re: EJ205 Swap

Please don't beat me down for saying this, but I used stock 22t gaskets when I put that motor together. Car got sold, haven't heard anything from the guy so I assume it's not blown up yet. I modified oem 2.0 wrx head gaskets, I should have gone thicker. oh well..next time. combustion chambers lined...

Re: ej20 with ej22t heads

I have a question EJ22 SOHC block with EJ20G DOHC heads - this setup will be work ?? Wysłane z iPhone za pomocą Tapatalk I think this will net an even higher compression ratio than my setup. I'm already just over 9. If you could massage and cc the combustion chambers possibly? I'm sure its been done

didn't want to risk blocking off the 4 ports, one I believe is to help the exhaust valve area, got some super duper drill bits and drilled 8 holes

they have the same fit as the aftermarket ej22t head gaskets, block the same holes, so maybe it isnt a problem?

Re: ej20 with ej22t heads

So the 2.o wrx gaskets are a perfect fit.....but.... block 2 little square hole tot and center of the combustion chambers and also two very small holes near the bottom outside edge. Anything to worry about?? They seem to be a better fit and line up much better than the aftermarket 22t head gaskets

ok thanks. i think the 2.0 gaskets/bore will match the ej22t heads well

If you happen to need a set of 2.0 head gaskets, I have some for sale in my post in the parts shed.
how did it turn out? did you have to use the 2.0 head gaskets?

Re: time to upgrade my upgrade - 92 ls 2.2e turbo to 2.2t

The 02-05 WRX and 04-07 single AVCS STI use a 10mm pump like our SS. So that's what you should get. Later STI's and other cars used larger pumps. Subaru Part # 15010AA108 supersedes to 15010AA300 Here's a link to more discussion about oil pumps: http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=...

Re: time to upgrade my upgrade - 92 ls 2.2e turbo to 2.2t

I recommend you do some reading on adding a higher volume oil pump when it's not needed. There are several threads/posts on here and on NASIOC about adding the 11 or 12 mm oil pump to motors that don't have AVCS. The added flow of the pump can cause it to run in bypass and cause frothing and oil st...
