4. STi takes the engine and bores out the normal 2 liter lump to 2.2 litres. This will allow more torque at lower revs.
when STi has the normal 2 liter lump they bore, sleve, weld into closed deck,
faced block halves, then welded halves together.
the EJ2.2L turbo motor is the best one subaru ever made thats why its in my 2000 RS w/98rs DOHC heads
and garett T-4 pumping 32psi of boost.

Are u running 32psi all the time daily driven? I heard more than 25 it will bend a rod. How much HP do u have at 32? Did u get the block out of a legacy? If so was it the 91? Why did u choose the 98 RS DOHC over the RS SOHC?

i choose 98 DOHC over the 00 SOHC because when you port the DOHC heads the ex port is strighter after the port job then the SOHC heads.. the DOHC has beter flow also the valves are direct hit no rocker roller.. so the red line can be a little higher.
by no means i would ever do anything like this to a car again or tell anyone its easy to do it took me a year and tons of fab work to get to where it wouldnt blow up. the hardest thing was the intake track.. the heads bolt on just fine but the patern is off by 2" and the 98 has sencers that the 2000 dosnt.. so i had to cut apart 3 intakes to make one that would work ... it runs 2 injectors per intake run. one water injector. a GM MAP.. AEM plug and play that turns on the second set of injectors when boost is over 18psi
i dont know what the HP is but my guess is around 500+ from the 11.98 1/4mi @ 132MPH and 2485LBS of car weight
my car is a driver and has current reg. but not daily driven i race scca solo2 in e-mod class

I asked about the 91 block specifically because I was told that one came stock with the factory oil cooler (which not even the 22B had¿). Could you explain in further detail about the rear end ive never heard of someone dealing with the wrong one or anything. I know you can still use the stock RS tranny as long as your very nice and thats only for a limited amount of time. What tranny did u put it? Ive heard of people using this block with 25psi as a dailey driver, and basically my goal with this is No.1 to build a monster and No.2 To keep this as my daily driver because i fricken love this car. Is there a difference betweent the 99 SOHC and the 00? I know the 99 run on a MAF like the 98 even though the 98 is a bit better, but cost wise I would like to keep my heads unless it makes that much of a difference. What about the new STi, how do the heads on that compare to mine and yours. I don't know a lot about cars but know some of the basics ive never had any schooling but plan on teaching myself along with a good buddy of mine who is a another subaru fanatic. So about the rear end are you talking about the rear differentials and axels? Dont i already have an LSD in the rear? And what did u mean of car height?

the 22b has a air to oil cooler in the bumper.. all the legacy turbos have a little water to oil cooler just above the oil filter (the same cooler used on the wrx water to oil) ..... the rear end on legacy turbo with LSD the block is closed deck.... the rear end on legacy turbo with open rear end is semi closed deck all legacy turbo have oil squarters under the piston to cool the flash point of the gas....why i was telling you to check the rear end before you buy the wrong motor is when you take it apart after you bought it and find out you got the semi closed deck and the junk yard wont take it back
...... i was told by people i could use the stock rs tranny but they were wrong only 4 of the 8 bolts match up and only one of the starter bolts match... i had to weld lugs on the 2.2L block and drill them and tap to match my rs tranny big f-n bunch of extra work..... my tranny is stock case with full dog set gears, quaife LSD, and STI center coupling, syms short shifter. i have read and heard that big boost kills third gear, and (first if you drag race with sticky tires) with stock tranny... as far as dailey drivers and big boost you need a very good computer to run the thing safe and the more boost the more fuel....25 psi is not a lot of boost. for some people it is cuz they are all running 12-15 psi in stock wrx's but you need good controls and it will be fine....i ported my heads so i was looking for after the port job what would work beter... and the DOHC head ex port is strighter after the port job.... the new 2.5 STi heads have a kinds of V-tec to them that makes them much beter than not being able to adjust the valve timming... the 2.5rs have rear LSD.... height = weight 2485lbs curb weight with gas and oil no driver the class i race in is not less than 2400lbs with gas and oil for AWD cars
my advice if anyone reads this...., to make a 2.2 legacy turbo closed deck motor work in a 2.5rs with rs heads and stock tranny will take a lot of time and money and custom fab work that no local welder will do for any amount of money, and you (and me) would have been beter off buying a JDM import Sti V5 or V6 and started there.... the money i have in upgrades to my little rs car, i could have bought ( 2 ) 2004 STI,s and toss my rs in the trash
hope this helps you

What tranny would you recommend? Also do you think the EJ22T is the way to go? A buddy of mine is going on his 5th subaru, now getting an RS, all Legacy's before. We will pretty much be doing this project together, i brought the EJ22T idea to him after seeing Wedge's website from rs25 ( http://users.adelphia.net/~wedge138/ ) Basically I want a monster, an extremely hardcore daily driver and I want to make sure im going in the right direction. As far as getting a 22B ide love one, but 50g's and having to bother with converting it to the left side hopefully later down the line ha ha. You've been very helpful, im sure ill be researching this project for another year before I can get my feet wet. Thanks!!

well it's highly illegal, but they would have a hard time proving you did anything wrong. Since you could take all the parts off a 22b and put them onto a USDM impreza coupe and get essentially the same car. but why swap all the parts when you could just switch vins numbers? not to mention the seem welded chassis. As for the right hand drive, they are illegal to import except the skyline or cars 25 years or older. but they don't say anything about converting a car already in the US. i think you could get by with saying you baught the car off a postal worker.
Speaking of skylines i think the key there is to get one from Canada. Canada has the same laws as we do but instead of 25 years or older, they can import anything as long as its 15 years or older. So 1989 and 1990 R32 GTRs probably can be snuck down. They wouldn't pay much attention since people buy cars from Canada all the time.
