So I guess its my turn to build my wrx but i need to pick a block first.I hear great power gains out of the 2.5 and everyone gets it. But I know a place were I can get a 2.2L turbo Subaru block. I belive it's out of an 94 legacy. So my questions to you are..

Should I go with a 2.5 or 2.2? Why?

What's the good and bad to both blocks? Detail!

Thanks everyone

 

I guess this isent a hot topic...

 

don't steal my idea. stay with your 2.5L idea and go for it!

 

2.2=harder to find parts and wierd lil install things.

2.5L=lots of parts and very simple install.

go for the 2.5

 

Edited because everyone thinks my replies are a type of trolling!

 

My plan for my EJ22 is to drop in an STi crank and some bigger pistons. EJ20 heads. V7 STi manifold, VF39. That'll do

 

yep! im doing that but bigger lol...

plus you have to drill into the block for your starter don't forget that... the old ej22 have less tranny to engine bolts... your starter will need a place to hold itself to....

 

U didn't come up with it Ryan. Your telling me u alone thought of putting a 2.2 in an impreza? Never been done before untill you thought of it? I don't think so

btw how's your gfs wrx?

 

I know were I can get 2 turbo 2.2 blocks

 

but you didn't even know there was such a hing as a 2.2l until i told you about my plans....

 

it don't matter if it is a turboed Short block or a NA short block. they have the same design just different internals lol.. so technically i have an endless supply of 2.2 blocks lol..

our junk yard has tons of 2.2l powered Subies

 

What car is that for Jeff?

 

i'd say k24, it hasnt been done...as far as i know.
you be, unAque.

 

914 or maybe something else
