I'd go an Ej22, Ej25s are more expensive and harder to find at the mo. Both of these motors are easy swaps with no gearbox or brake mods needed. The Ej22 will almost double your power output while almost halving fuel economy on the freeway. :tu:

agreed, an ej22 is a good choice

new engine so they are reliable

great economy

close to double if no a bit more than double the power

can fit in the anginebay with out being spotted from the outside of the car (BONUS around the POLICE!!!)

i chose a v8 n that was a lot of work, old engine needed a complete rebuild, uses Bulls**t amounts of fuel, needs custom work to fit it in engine bay which is obvious from outside the veichle,

but they both sound BLOODY AWESOME!!!

6K will get you a good conversion if you do it yourself i believe
