gerbie_rox - July 3rd, 2005 at 08:21 PM

Alrite in my last post i asked people what engine they thought would be better.

I have come to the conclusion of a Ej20 Turbo (EJ20T)

just wondering if there were any objections to this?

Why i shouldn't use this engine?

Also i need a reccomendation on a gearbox

Thanx fellas

You use woteva engine you want!! It's YOUR car:blush....go with a 2 liter Kombi box:yes:

EJ20T with a good condition LBox.These engines are very quick out of the box with no need to fiddle with.The LBox standard will handle it find.When maybe with a ? starting to get more hps from motor......... estimate 250hps look at strenghtening box all go to Porsche, Reno. Maybe ask some of the buggy boys,they are using EJ22 subie motors with no probs at all.JVLRacing:thumb

EJ22 with a Kombi 2L box, but use whatever you want.

experience stats that most will do the job of putting a big smile on the dial

we use the ej22 for the simple fact it is a smaller package overall to deal with
they are not a race motor or a burnout comp winner but they are reliable with more hp than stock

Kombi 2 litre or L bug like mine. Which ever you choose, you will still be able to throw slicks on and run 13's when your bored!

Booooost.

I don't know how you came to that conclusion from the other post, but anyhow. I think an EJ20T in a car that will be driven offroad will destroy stuff. Better start saving for gearboxes and CV's.

but as the others have said, it's you car and you can do whatever you want.

Im sorry guys,

I must have been tired when i wrote that post.

I meant the EJ22 not the EJ20T. Sorry for mixing it up obviously i wasn't focused on what i was typing.
So yea i have decided on the EJ22 (i think.......a little more thinking and calculating)
So sorry about the mix up.
But thanx 4 your oppinions for that engine as well
