johnceggleston Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 it looks like a closed block to me!!!!! is it for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) 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.

bigpimpinben Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) 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? Edited January 29, 2011 by bigpimpinben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
