Ej22t non turbo build

Post by justin the subie »

I'm interested in doing the ej22turbo motor due to forged internals and piston oil squirters but need it to be non turbo due to expenses and car configuration. And I already have the motor. Can i build it with n/a heads and have good compression?? Or is there another good way to build this type of setup??? Thanks guys :smt033

The crank is forged, like all other ej engines. The rest, is not. Also, the 22t pistons make for a low compression build, so those have to go.

Theres a bunch of threads on this topic. Here's one of the better ones: http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=52936

Honestly, I don't think you're gaining anything by going with the ej22t engine. The turbo cams won't be the ideal setup for a non-turbo setup. If you don't want to go turbo, then just stick with the non-turbo ej22 engine.

What Josh said. ^^^

There really is no point. You might as well just do a 25D/22 hybrid 'frankenmotor'.

Ok. Thanks guys. The only bummer for me is only having turbo motors. Haha. Suppose this car might just have to be unnaturally aspirated. :smt033
