Engine compatibility

Recommended Posts

I have an auto BP Legacy GT and the engine died recently. I don't know all the details, as I live in the UK now and it's my dad who's been looking after it. He was taking it out for a run and said it made a "ratcheting" sound then lost power and wouldn't start again. It got towed to our local garage where they were unable to turn the engine by hand.

 

Assuming the heads and the rest of it are ok, can theoretically any EJ20 short block be used if needed? As a short term solution to get it moving under its own power a drop in long block would be another option, but just want to know if I need to be careful about variants, especially if it was mated to an auto vs manual. Or does this not matter? TIA!

Heads being ok could be a big assumption, I'd be looking at a long block.

Pretty much needs to be a ej20x quad avcs motor, Ideally get the same to ensure cam/compression is OK for the factory tune (might not even be an issue with these ecus), but you could just get the car reflashed with whatever motor you put in to know its safe.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
