Here is what I plan on using
-ej22t block
-wiseco pistons
-EJ257 STI rods
-ej22t crank
-ej25d heads (MY98)
-ej20g intake manifold (given to me with the engine)
-Turbo will depend on what kind of deals I can find, but most likely a vf39/48/52
That will be the base of my setup. The ej22t long block I picked up was missing the oil pump, pan, and pickup. What do you recommend I use to replace this (oem, aftermarket, etc.)?
How is the valve train and cams in the 25d heads? Can the heads handle boost stock, or do you recommend cam regrinds (or different cams) and new valve springs and retainers (I heard ej257 valve train works)?
I was also given the ej20g intake manifold with the engine, but it didn't have the throttle body. Can I reuse the 22T throttle body? Should I stick with the 20g side feed injectors or convert to top feed? and what size injectors should I use?
What recommendations for ecu do you have for this setup? I'm pretty sure standalone or piggy back is going to be needed or will a rob tune ecu work?
I currently don't have a car for this engine (but will be looking for either a 1st gen legacy or 1st gen impreza for the build).
This is just a side project for me and have as much time as I need to do this right.
Any input wold be greatly appreciated. All the other forums told me to come here for ej22t hybrid questions because you guys are the experts
