worth the effort?

[BC5RA]

I never said it wasn't, merely pointed out the obvious.

Although telling him to get a closed deck 2.2 from the state's is some lofty advice :

[Joker]

Lofty? Untwist those bright pink, leopardskin man panties my friend. Reubs is right. 22T with 20R heads would be hawt!

See if you can source a 2.2L closed deck block from the states, or a 2L closed deck locally, and slap your 20R heads on there, would be a KILLER engine.

Then it would hardly be an EJ20R wouldn't it?

= not an "R"

for clarity sake

[ReubenH]

Hung up on technicalities much?! :

So what it's not a 20R block, that block is not what makes a 20R worth the effort. If you could see past your extreme BC5 elitism BC5RA, you'd realise this.

[Joker]

got it in one... that me!

especially when ppl troll on in and try to re-ignite the discussion/bait certain members...

I'm too pretty...

i did ask for advice and all this helps. i do appreciate all the info. maybe i shoulda put a poll on this page. as it is a weekend i decided to go snooping and see what i could find online and it seems that there arent any real "deals" in my area on closed deck motors so i will probably rebuild the 'r' and fit a larger oil pump and an oil cooler to try to eliminate any problems from the oil and them maybe a meth kit to stop detonation. any other ideas? or do those sound fair?

[BC5RA]

Like i said.

Go Neuban.

Hey Oscar how's your RS going pal?

[Joker]

More good advice

Sorry to butt in on this here sausage fest. But uh... I must have missed the part where someone typed 'heads off 20R + 2.2 block = 20R' :-\

On that note... 2.2 FTMFW

It's not. Destroyed the starter motor and had a fire. twas awesome.

Now with green sticker goodness!

[Guest boostcut]

haha sausage fest... you got that right... who gives a fark what you will have after a 2.2. bottom end and 20r heads it would be a wicked combo.

[Shale]

Hehehe 2.2 bottom end with the right piston/rod combo and OM NOM NOM heads like that would be a hell of a car. Got a lot of potential! ;D

Hurrhurr thought I'd add some chicken breasts to the pork sausages currently on the BBQ there

Lol it's like the opposite of the old 20G; sh!t heads and block of win.

[Guest]

alright guys, i was in the process of sourcing new rods and pistons and someone mentioned an ej257 shortblock to match to my ej20r heads for my jdm leggy gtb. as i understand it the ej20r heads are sick i mean some of the best heads i think subaru ever made. now my question is all i want is stock power, am i gonna need to replace the pistons or are the stock ej257 ones stout enough to handle it. also any recomendations for tuning. like do i have to go stand alone or can i go piggy back, this is my daily driver so i dont want anything insane or pricey, i will be building my jdm v7 sti later. any and all responses are welcomed, thanks.

EJ20R heads are good but as for best? nah.

If stock power is all you want, i'm sure the OE STI pistons will be able to withstand the ravages of 280hp.

in process of learning - whats best then? according to your opinion

[ReubenH]

Well according to BC5RA here, technology peaked in 92.

But Reuben i didn't even answer..

Perhaps you would like to enlighten this thread.

[Shale]

You're doing enough of a job there mate ;D

[Joker]

SNIPERS! RUN!

[Shale]

WHERE?!

*ducks for cover from self*

[BC5RA]

I'm not going to get drawn into a stupidity mongering discussion with the two of you.

If Reuben wants to have a little huffy fit, because he really has no broader Subaru knowledge; of which he is accusing me of suffering, then let him have his say
