help figuring out inherited project

[bigpimpinben]

I recently got a motor it is an ej22 I was told that it is a rare turbo block. Any help identifying this motor would be great!!!!!

 

 

[johnceggleston]

it looks like a closed block to me!!!!!

 

is it for sale?

Somewhat rare, yes.

 

That is an EJ22T (turbo, closed deck) from a '91 to '94 USDM Legacy turbo. Basically the block is worth a little to the right person because it's a closed deck engine (very rigid). The 22T was the largest closed deck Subaru block ever made and Subaru ceased production of the sand-cast blocks after '96.

 

But these days everyone uses the semi-closed deck blocks. A few years ago you could probably get a couple grand for a new/rebuilt 22T. But now that they make the EJ257 (2.5 and semi-closed - good to 1000 HP or more).... the market pretty much evaporated. Might fetch $300 for one if you know the internal condition. If you don't - maybe $200. Not worth a ton anymore. You could get $1000 for a running, complete engine - but an uknown condition 22T short block isn't worth a lot. Plus it's only the block that's valuable - the internals are junk. The piston-skirt oil sprayers often fall out of the crank so those holes need to be capped off.... and the *thing* to do with those is stroke t

them with a 2.5 rotating assembly - creating a 2.35 with much higher HP potential.

 

The cylinder wall in that one picture looks.....BAD. Maybe just the picture though. If it's trashed - it's worth just about.... scrap metal price.

Ok thanks guys here are another couple parts.

 

I think this is a turbo management system the brand is turbo xs, there are no markings on the box that everything plugs into.

 

 

Also what might have been done by rallitek on this ecu?

 

 

I was told that this downpipe is from a sti. Can anyone tell what this pipe is?
