Thinking out loud - ej25d block, ej22e heads in a 95 impreza, thoughts appreciated


Recommended Posts

I'm thinking 25d block, 22e heads, cometic gasket, all with the ej18 intake so I don't have to touch wiring (that stuff scares me  :P). Doing this for cheap power in my imp. Good or bad idea? Or maybe just throw a 25d block inbetween my heads. I just miss my power from my 2.5gt.

Why the 1.8 intake? Do you have a 1.8 ECU? Can the injectors handle the 2.5..? 

I was hoping 1.8 intake because I was thinking for a 2.2 I'd have to do splicing or something. It's going into an impreza, so I have the ecu. And I'd imagine if I reset the ecu itself figure itself out

I'd be worried the injectors wouldn't keep up or the ECU would push them to near 100% duty cycle which could cause a burnout of the driver circuit or injectors, long term.

 

Compare the 2.2 or even the 2.5 injectors and see if they'd fit in the 1.8 rails or have the same ohm-spec. If so, I'd swap for the 2.2 at least and see how it runs.

the injectors will fit in the ej18 rails,

but i doubt they need to.

it will run fine on the ej18 injectors.

 

if the ej18 you now have is obd1,

then yes, stick with the ej18 harness.

i'm not sure about the intake it self.

 

plus you already have the ej18 intake / harness.

an ej22 intake / harness would cost you .

 

an easier , power upgrade, just swap in an ej22 (with egr).

simple and easy.

not the power of the ej25d,

but neither is the frankenmotor.
