doing up an EJ22
i have an EJ22 under the house which i blew a head gasket in...my own fault...long storey...anyway before i binned it i pulled one of the heads off
and there is no corrosion and no wear of the bores...
so i'm thinking of sticking new head gaskets on it and was wondering if it is possible to access all conrods through the sump and replace
rings and bigends...just bored and wanting to tinker...

Rob , you have to split the cases to do this.
But get a 2.5 ltr crank & the correct rods & turbo pistons and slap some GTB/ V3 heads on = 235 turbo power house

Once you get the pistons out you may be able get at the big end bearings but it will be like performing heart surgery.
I've done this with a VW engine like that, replaced the big end bearings without splitting the case, it's a fiddly way to do it.
Those gudgeon pin access plugs hide well on EJs, I found the #2 was hiding under the water pump and #4 under the oil seperator.

How did you go figuring this out Rob,I am interested in more torque for my ej22.
By the way Rob,those BA wheels and 215/75's certainly made a difference.
Dave.

Hi Dave i had a TD04 turbo on my EJ22 at low boost a while ago and it had far more grunt than the forester GT down low so i'll be going back that
way...
i need to push these big wheels up places like the other day up duck creek road to o'reillys...heheh i was the only one going up it...all the
4wds were coming down...

Dave good thing about kombi's is there is plenty of room to put the turbo at the back...you just need a manifold something like this one and a
standard intercooler and abit of pipework...silicon hose...
i kept using the stock ecu and it was fine

So a bit of pipe work, no internal mods, almost plug and play.
How much difference did it make Rob?

going up the steepest hills was effortless...and on the motorway the thing was insane...you could lose your license hardly touching the throttle

What NA mods can be done with std 2.2 parts apart from a bit of head porting and equal length exhaust?

when you look at the cam timing for an EJ22 it is not at all radical...maybe some good old fashioned lumpy cams would work if you want high end
power...280 degrees or so...not my cup of tea though

Nah, I want to keep the low end pull and just make it pull stronger with more power. I don't like an engine with everything at the top. Nice and
smooth from 1500 to 6000 makes for a driveable yet fun motor.
