towbusiness Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I am a lucky owner of a 93 RHD postal wagon that is in good condition but it has a bad bearing on the tranny. I know of a guy in Miami Florida that can get me the EJ20TT for around $700.00 or so. I have done some searching on the site and found that the EJ22 ECU will work fine but I was wondering what else needs to be done to make this work. I suppose I need to swap over the harness and possible fab up some exhaust stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I need to swap over the harness and possible fab up some exhaust stuff. I'm pretty positive the stock 93 2.2 ECU will not run the EJ20H, or any other factory turbo actually. You would need the whole ECU and MAf and all that. Check out Jhot importers on Ebay. Last time I looked, there was a complete EJ20H with full harness, ECU, Axles, maf, fuelpump, Turbos and an Auto trans for $679. Keeps getting relisted. Someone should snag it. Problem is, no one has diagrams or specs for it, so hooking it up would be really tough. Having the whole harness would make that alot easier but it would still be rough.

towbusiness Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 What do these dune buggy guys do with them? A friend of mine swapped an EJ20 into his legacy with the EJ22 harness and it drove great. Do the turbos have wires or sensors? I don't know squat about turbos except for how they work....sort of. When these honda dorks add a turbo to their ricers do they have to change out the ECU? Do they have to run larger or additional fuel pumps? I want to do this but on a budget seeing as how I have one of the few cars that can do it the right way.

So listen to what others have to say. But yeah, the fuel mapping is all different for a turbo. Without compensation you'll run really lean or really rich depending. Also the Computer controls the boosts through a solenoid that activates the wastegate. If you don't have a wastegate control, and use the stock 93 2.2 ECU you'll blow that motor in short order from massive overboost.(wastegate won't open) And besides all that I think some of the values that the sensors output for a given conditon could be different. the Honda kids ussually do run at least a fuel pressure regulator that allows for higher than stock pressures. And they use aftermarket Boost controllers Alot of them use aftermarket ECUs as well. By all means pursue the swap, I'm just saying find a whole clip with ECU included for the engine you are trying to run. OR get an afermarket ECU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
