Robertheil Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Going to catch some flack for this but I know it's been done before I don't feel like doing all the wiring plus I can slowly gather parts for this I seen in a previous thread that loyale 2.7 turbo posted pictures of a ej22 with dual carbs the adapters used to mount them above each head shown on the package was kc227 by Lynx and the common distributor is an early ford escort I've also seen some of the vw people use megajolt I just think this would be funner then messing with wires and around where I live this would be cheaper to do then trying to get a donor with a 2.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87subbomber Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I think its awesome for doing this, but why dual carbs on an ej when one weber 3236 will more than do the job?if you were building a 2.8 stroker that would be sick but Scott at SJR can get you all you need for a carbed ej22. your going to spend more overall on dual carbs over an ej fuel injected an a lot more headache because theres 2x the parts. two custom manifolds, 2 carbs, 2 air filters, two throttle linkage, a custom linkage for tying said two throttles together. then you have the fun of trying to get the carbs dialed in. im not trying to talk you out of it, i think it will be a wicked setup just over kill. for the same price you could put itbs on and use a standalone and make more power and torque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertheil Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) How far will the carb and filter stick above the fenders a while back loyale 2.7 turbo posted a picture of a dual carb ej22 and the adapter to mount the carb to the engine the model of adapter was kc227 and the top of the air filters appeared to sit level with the alternator I know the vw crowd has done this using modified stock intakes and running a metal rod to connect the carbs throttles around where I live it's pretty hard to find a 2.2l Subaru let alone find any in the yards that still have the engines in them between the 4 pull it yards around me there are only 8 subarus also too many people trying to flip cars for a living so going with a carb'd ej will be cheaper for me as I can buy parts as I go subarus here rarely drop below 2k if the carb sticks out of the hood my wagon would look interesting with a scoop lol I've never done a fuel injection swap but I've worked with carbs a few times with our Willys that has a gm 235 with a carter I've read the write up and that's a lot more work to me then it is to throw a carb on a ej to put in my loyale it would also be simpler to undo the swap if I needed to I found a ej22 at AR1 auto wrecking in Yakima with 189k miles for 250 I need to see if they will ship it the say it has 165 for compression just need to call them in the afternoon Edited February 28, 2017 by Robertheil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertheil Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 I actually seen that video a few days ago it's what made me start to search the forums and try the vw forums as well the 2.8l dual carb stroker would be awesome but as right now with buying the engine and other bits I also have to do the head gaskets on my wife's forester and seal up the oil separator plate I'm going to seal up the whole engine while its out I have to replace the water pump on my ea82 that engine has 100k more miles then the wagon does I still put around 900 miles a week on the thing it's either the pump leaking or I disturbed the o ring when I replaced the radiator the weather here has been funky it was 74 the other day now we have over a ft of snow so it makes it a challenge to try and check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertheil Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 I'm looking at getting this done before the Midwest gamlber 500 in Iowa so the cheapest and simplest way for me to get it setup and running is by doing a carb even a single carb ej you don't get to see that everyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertheil Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 The 2.2l cars are hard to find here I've only seen 2 in the past year the 2.5 is easy to find but anything under 2k either has engine issues or it's sold in an hour I told my wife if her 02 forester goes then I'm taking it lol i know the carb setup will cost more in the long run but I can buy the parts slowly over the months I've read the guides and have a lot of posts bookmarked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
