z1000 Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Equal headers, 3" decat exhaust case or 2 of octane booster.
RA Dunk Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Yes, of course you will. PM me when your off drugs and Ill tell you what you need to do. Otherwise keep supping the methadone and talk to the doctor. Callum W LoooooooooL,,,,,,,, [][]

colin_ross Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 £4k for 400 is do-able. Cheapest way would be to buy a new ej257, slap some sti5/6 or P1 heads on it, get a decent blower (20g should get you there), a set of 550's or bigger, uprated fuel pump, fmic would be a good idea, headers and exhaust and then a remap. Not sure about the 2.2 engine option, depends what you mean. Is it a ej22 or ej22t or a stroked ej20? It can be done on a 2.0 of course but a bigger turbo would be needed to make sure you hit the big 4.
colin_ross Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 An ej22 is a non closed deck 2.2 and it does not have piston squirters. I think it was used in a non turbo'd version of the leggy but not 100% sure. You can use it as the base of a turbo engine but it can't be pushed as far. The ej22t is the one you want, if you can find one. Closed deck, piston squirters and the basis for my 2.33.
drb5 Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 That'll be Peter off to look for an EJ22T now then? []
the squiggle Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 I know where a EJ22t short block is sitting with custom rods and pistons
johnnyr6 Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 If you get to 400 you'll have a very nice car but don't expect very quick times on crail, it takes more than a good engine. you need to look at the suspension, wheels and tyres, but more importantly gearing and weight.
the squiggle Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 ......and if you do ram 400 ponies through a phase 1 box then budget for a new gearbox as well
fai17 Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 I know where a EJ22t short block is sitting with custom rods and pistons I'll speak to you tonight about it[]
jcscoob Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 If you get to 400 you'll have a very nice car but don't expect very quick times on crail, it takes more than a good engine. you need to look at the suspension, wheels and tyres, but more importantly gearing and weight. Couldnt agree more []
craig mac Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 And the 5 speed box will always run quicker times Ask Kevametal[]
scottish555 Posted October 28, 2006 Author Posted October 28, 2006 ......and if you do ram 400 ponies through a phase 1 box then budget for a new gearbox as well it got a straight cut box fitted mate noisey as hell so not be a problem there
scottish555 Posted October 28, 2006 Author Posted October 28, 2006 Yes, of course you will. PM me when your off drugs and Ill tell you what you need to do. Otherwise keep supping the methadone and talk to the doctor. Callum W I touch goats
