PHASE I EJ25D HEADS ON 97 EJ22E BLOCK! ANYONE DONE IT BEFORE?

has anyone ever atemp to perform this swap?

 

it'll work, i can tell you that.

 

thanks fuji k. it just happens i picked up a 97 legacy wagon L and the right cylinder head seized up. got a ej25d for cheap but debating on what i wanna do. what's your recommendation?

 

Yea, it'll work. It'll drop the compression a bunch though, would probably be pretty boost friendly, but gutless otherwise.

 

your exhaust manifold wont work, nor will your intake. otherwise, great boost setup.

 

AWDimprezaL: you sure the ej22e intake mani won't work with the ej25d?

 

Yup, the ports may line up, but the bolt holes will not.

 

Anyone know a good boost setup for this and how much it can handle with stock internals?

 

i have a 25D intake manifold as well as other minor stuff.

 

thanks fuji for the mani offer but i got that too. but would you happen to know what the stock internals can handle?

 

look at the gaskets (or phenolic spacers....)
