Whats the diff between 2.2e and 2.2t pistons/rings

Post by 94legacy2.2 »

Just wondering what the actual differance is between the pistons and rings.
I found a set of pistons on Ebay but they say they are for the ej22e motor.
are the pistons the same just higher compression? can I use these and run 15psi with out cracking the ring land or burning a hole in the top of the piston.

Pretty much asking if the 2.2t pistons forged or just normal stuff like the 2.2e stuff


Thanks

I found this on the internet. I didnt know the 2.5 rods were good for anything. Whats the power rating for these rods?


also im just trying to do the fastest rebuild. I need the car running within a couple days.
I might just give the bores a quick hone and slap new rings in it for the time being. Might also install new bearings of course.
All this will happen with a set of dohc heads.
If your starting with a 2.2 turbo closed deck block you need the following to complete a stroker build:

We have been using the NPR (Nippon Piston Rings) for the NA 2.2 on the 2.2 turbo pistons for some time now with no issues.

Mr. Douglas, thanks for the info.
I almost bought OEM rings today for 140.00

So no problems with std bore piston rings?
