Bearings in a EJ22T hybrid

[logan9691]

when building a EJ22T block with 2.5 internals (rods, crank, and pistons) and 2.5 heads. what size of bearing should be used and for what engine 22t or 25? for both the rod and main bearings.

Are you using phase 1 or 2 25 crank? I'm guessing phase1

You want the bearings to fit the crank and be the correct thrust position for the block...position 3 thrust for ej22t

If you are using a used crank, I would recommend going .010 over bearings and grind the crank to fit properly. Sould cost 100 bucks for a crank grind at a machine shop.

If you are going phase2 crank, it changes what you will have to do.

Umm ej25 p1 pistons are the same bore as a ej22t that makes no sense?? Unless it was bored

LOGAN haha um I would say take it to a knowledgable machine shop (you did find one right) and talk to the guys who will be doing your machine work. They will know more about what need to be cleaned up and what will need to be oversized once they look at your block. Oh and are you doing the revtronix thing and putting usdm 2.5 turbo sized pistons in?

eventually.... would prefer the user programable one they are suppose to come out with. and no i haven't yet. Allen was suppose to talk to a guy he knows from dewys i think but dont think he has yet and i havent been able to find any other place around here that does engine work.

btw i gots a transmission that is ready to go in.

I ment about the piston size because revtronix bored out their block to accept ej257 pistons, well i can help you with the trans but it will have to wait untill we move, just got the house on 14th street today.
