yea i was also considering a Ej22 and putting WRX heads on it since they have the same head pattern, but from wat i hear you cant boost very high with that setup and u gotta be tuned right on. and how much HP can the Ej22 hold up to, didnt they only come with 160 HP and 181 Torque ?
Thanks -Greg

It's not open. It is semi-closed. After resleaving, it doesn't really matter if it started life as a fully closed deck block. Oil squirters that come on EJ22's however, make me very happy.

That is why my Axis motor was built from a EJ22T.

Alex the Axis stage 6 that i am talking about uses a 2.5 STI semi closed deck wouldnt this be pretty much the same as the Axis Ej22 once resleaved ? and doesnt the Ej22 have a stronger bottom end than the 2.5 ?

If you are looking for more motors try looking at Cobb tuner series or there original series short blocks. No one else is North America has as much experience about building wrx race motors then cobb pretty much. www.cobbtunning.com

If you got the money buy it. Your WRX will be real quick as long as you have the supporting mods for it. Just remember you will never get your money back if you sell your car.
