whats so specail here?

whats so special here?

i found this picture floating around on teh intrawebz.

this is VERY cool, do you know why?

 

22b i assume

 

engine code = ej22
chassis = GC8
22B

 

"EJ22G" -----> jumping jesus on a pogo stick!

 

ya lost me, i know most g motors are early wrx or liberty motors, and closed deck, (if i only remembered how to decipher the engine number on the tags, that one number tells you everything about the car, that's how i found out exactly what my front clip was)

 

^since i lost ya i will explian. you have a ej20g, which is a closed deck 2.0l. the car picure above has a ej22g. which is a 2.2l engine that was made from e ej20g, so it keeps the G on it. it is not a legacy turbo motor becuase that is a ej22t.

so what car did they take the ej20g and bore it out to 2.2l thus making a the ej22g? -------------------> only the Subaru Evar.

 

22b right, it's gotta be it

 

yep, best subaru ever. (imo)

 

^+11111111 i was right the first time, then you went and got me all confused:???: the 22b kicks arse:biggrin:

 

I am going to print the pic and paste it onto my vin....yeah baby

 

woa woa woa......I always thought the 22b got it's name because the motor was the EJ22b

 

lol i thought it was cause it is a gc8 and it had fugi on it...

 

???

all subaru's, since the 360 of the 1960s, have been a product of FHI

 

GC would indicate that it's a sedan though.....M is coupe

 

Taken from bbs.legacycentral.org :


"Jesus,
Not this again. The G is part of the applied engine code. The complete engine code is actually 10 alpha numeric letters/numbers designating everything about the engine and even a few things about the trim level of the car.
The 5 place that the G, T, or E holds is the division of fuel delivery. A G designates a DOHC MPFI Turbo engine. The E stands for SOHC MPFI engine and the T stands for SOHC MPFI turbo engine. As the owners of turbo legacies have stated, the metal plate on the driver's side strut tower explicitly says EJ22T on it.

And as for the old 22B debate, I actually found an owner of a 22B in the UK who had taken apart his engine and rebuilt it. The 22B is cast without oil squirters and is a phase II block with the thrust bearing moved from center to the end like all the other phase II blocks. Our 2.2l turbo block is the daddy of the 22b's block, not the same block..."

^^ good info.

i have heard a couple rumors as to the origins of 22B.

1. 22b --> 2.2l engine w/ bilstien suspension.
2. 22b --> in hexidecimal or some other on base 10 = 555.
