EJ22T head swap question

[Jerry DeMoss]

I was wondering if anyone has had first had experience with a head swap on the EJ22T.I have heard of using heads of '97-'01 Dohc and sohc 2.5rs.I have also heard of using heads off of mid '90's model jdm wrx.I have read a bit on fitment as well as the resulting cr. I was wondering if there are any issues anyone has come across with valve timing,and what timing belt to use? I am asuming that I would use the T belt from a 2.5rs,and the head gasket from the EJ22t. I have been looking at forged pistons as well for the swap.I have not purchased the car I am contemplating this with,but I have been looking at the '94 Legacy turbo as a good starting point for a rally car.

I appreciate any input.

Hey Jerry

 

There are a few here that know a bit about the swap and you can get some good info, but to get the full scoop from those who have done it go over to LegacyCentral and do some searching.
