Hi all,
Right - quick introduction I have a '73 VW T2 Bay bus with a subaru conversion. It ran ok ish, then due to flood damage had to be rebuilt (on the cheap) and it ran ok ish after, with a bit of hunting on idle, but made good power. I thought it was a NA EJ20 from a Mk2 Legacy...
Its currently out of bus as part of the restoration and we are trying to sort it and the loom out and further investigation shows its an EJ22 block, however its been suggested that it might have 2.0l (EJ20) heads on it. They are the ridged / finned type with '16 Valve' cast in to them (see photo). Is there any way to determine which they are? If so is this a good idea? Or should I try and track down some 2.2L heads?
If it is EJ22 with EJ20 heads is there any caluclator for compression ratios etc, anything else to watch out for to make it run right and should I be using the stock ECU I have - which I assume is from the EJ22?
Also are all EJ22 blocks closed deck or did they also do an open or semi open version?
Trying to get a handle on whether its renovating this engine or starting again with a fresh unmolested EJ20 build.
Thanks in advance for the help, to be honest I don't know a huge amount about scooby engines!
