85cobra Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 How's it going team. So last time i was on here I was looking for a engine. So i got a JDM engine for a good price. only 40K on it. Got it all set up, But I forgot to change the Cam Sprockets. They were slightly bent. Just when I thought i was gonna hit up the road. and then BLAH... But here go some pix P.S: Its hard to find Cam sprockets, so if you can let me know some places for good prices. That would be great. I keep finding them for Toyota Supra, Nissan and Mitsubishi.

85cobra Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 Oh. I forgot. I put Borla Header and New brakes. K&N filter on stand by. And New clutch and throw out. -- When I went to turn her on. She just kept cranking, and just about to turn on. But NO. she wont. So im hoping its the Cam Sprockets. P.S: I put 5 gallons of gas in .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiyo1990 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Just double check all your stuff man. Might just be something very simple. I'll keep an eye out for some sprockets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85cobra Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Hey*Kiyo, I have. and the only thing is the can sprocket/ pulley is turning like a bent rim. I'm praying that's the final thing to do. I checked for spark and fuel. Its good. Any other stuff u guys like for me to check out. This is my 1st LGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 My guess is the sprockets as you mentioned, your going from DOHC to SOHC is what the issue is. if it's an option, try to grab an plug in an EJ22 ECU from a SOHC L model in the third gen range that way you may not have to open up the motor again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86bratman Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 That looks like a phase 1 ej22. It is not what you need for that car. His original ej251 was sohc, so thats not the trouble. http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o710/blacksupraptype/EJ22_zps7f161436.jpg If your valve covers look like this, and you bought timing gears for the 99-01 ej22 the cam sensor is not reading correctly and it will never fire. You'll need 90-98 ej22 cam gears before it will start up. Even still you'll have some idle issues becasue the iacv's do not function the same. Any n/a ej ecu will run any ej n/a engine as long as the sensors read correctly. Over at ultimatesubaru.org people run ej22e's on ej25d ecu's all the time when they swap them out.

Also generally when you swap motors you keep the intake that matches the ECU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 00+ was SOHC EJ25 not DOHC. yeah, whoops.. but the motor should be plug and play, swap out the jdm sensors with the usdm stuff, but the IM should stay matching the heads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85cobra Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Where is the JDM sensor? I put almost everything on from my OLD motor. All plugged right in place. No problems. There. I do have crank pulley. Just need can sprockets/pulleys now. Anything out by you guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 JDM sensors as in.. all the sensors that came with the motor from japan.. namely the Knock sensor, those have different end between DOHC and SOHC and since you've not mentioned running into anything like that, you may have missed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85cobra Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 *86bratman Sorry I didn't see your post & pic. But, yes that what my valve covers look like. And I did change over all sensors. So now I have to look for 90-98 Cam gears correct? I will try. Is their anyway to fix the rough idle in the future ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85cobra Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Or do any of you know a website that I can buy some ? Stock or aftermarket ? Maybe I'll get lucky and they are on sale. LoL . Wishful thinking. LoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86bratman Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I have an untested theory about the idle issue. Untested because I have no phase 2 cars or parts for them. Anyways, the ej18 from 93-98 ran with a throttle body mounted iacv similar to the phase 2 ej22/ej25. In theory one could use the intake manifold from an ej18 the orginal ej251 throttle body and get around the idle problem. I've torn apart quite a few ej22's I'll try to get through my parts drawers in the next evening or two and see if I can find some cam gears.

85cobra Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 That would be awesome. Thank you. I did use my ej25 throttle body with this ej22 motor. I have the crank pulley from the ej25 in place as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
