Benaaron87 Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Ow and instead of sitting on 3500 rpm at 110 it sits on 3125 so yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Racing Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Someone could have dropped a JDM engine in there, but I thought the JDM engine was a 2.0L, not the EJ22. Open the hood and look for a turbo. The whine could be the alternator too though, even though that's on the top of the engine dead center under the hood.

Benaaron87 Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 Does the ej20 look much like the ej22 . Because having the two cars side by side they have completely different idles sounds . Definately no turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benaaron87 Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 Its optically the same as my ej22 in my 89 wagon . It does whine when sitting still only when you accellerate through the gears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Racing Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 If you look on the engine block, to the left of the alternator underneath and slightly in front of the intake manifold the characters "EJ22" or "EJ20" should be stamped onto the block. Also, if the engine has DOHC's it isn't the EJ22, unless it is the extremely rare DOHC EJ22G. If it does chances are it's an EJ20. What country are you in again? It makes a difference on what kind of engine this could possibly be. Also, if you post the VIN this could be easier, but if the engine was swapped out for a different one it won't help at all.

Benaaron87 Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 Sohc . It has 261000 kms on it and it has new head gaskets . Is it possible that difference cams to stock would make it sound louder or run more rough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqc151 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 i doubt someone put cams in a stock motor. with the info u posted the best answer i can come up with is that u have a ej22e sohc n/a engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqc151 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 How do you add photos from a iPhone to this forum i dont have an iphone so im not sure. but if u go to photobucket u can download from there and copy/paste to this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqc151 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Does the ej20 look much like the ej22 . Because having the two cars side by side they have completely different idles sounds . Definately no turbo every single EJ engine looks the same on the outside. maybe some small differences but nothing the average consumer would notice. only the internals and internal block walls make a difference between the EJ engines. which is why u can put any engine from 89-present in any model year subaru.

Platinum_Racing Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Cams would make it sound "Rougher", but as said before, it is HIGHLY unlikely that someone would do that, especially with no supporting modifications, as the cams would do little good other than change where power comes from on the RPM band. To send pics, email them to your email address, then use your computer to upload them to Photobucket or the image hosting company of your choosing then post the link to the pictures on the forum.

Benaaron87 Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 What is the difference between the ej22 and the ej22e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqc151 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 when the ej22 is mentioned it is most likely the ej22e. there are other ej22 blocks out there but since your engine seems to be N/A its a ej22e. benaaron87: theres open, closed and semi closed. i posted pics to show u the difference. notice the cylinder walls around the piston area and you will see the difference. this is an open deck used on mostly N/A subaru engines. http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/attachments/engine-modifications/13540d1064500331-closed-deck-vs-open-deck-stage1.jpg this is a closed deck used on the earlier turbo engines. (the US only saw these closed deck engines from 91-94 and were 2.2L. they dont make these blocks anymore and these engines are rare and range from 500-1000 for just the block used. (i have 3 of them...) http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/attachments/engine-modifications/13542d1064500414-closed-deck-vs-open-deck-turbo_block_stage3.jpg STI's used a SEMI closed deck that looks like this. http://www.powerlabs.org/images/P3310337_small.JPG also research your engine here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_EJ_engine#EJ22E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benaaron87 Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 Ok would this help . The normal computer for my wagon is g1 22611 AA940 A18-000 RF7 3628 . Computer for unknown engine is D5 22611 AA651 AA11-000 RA8 0112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Racing Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Sorry my friend, the only thing that's going to help you now is pictures. Unless you have super-human drawing skills in Microsoft Paint..... And to get pictures to the internet with an iPhone you have to take the picture, email it to your email address, then download the file from the email onto a computer.

ehsnils Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Just be aware that some Subaru engines did have a water-carried intercooler, so the intake air was cooled by water and the water in turn had a separate radiator in front of the normal cooling radiator. And the original Subaru XT with turbo didn't have an intercooler. But the best way is to actually look into the engine compartment and dig around to see if there is a turbo hiding somewhere. Then there is the option that the cam belt has been replaced and that it was misaligned causing the engine to run rougher. There are a pile of variations on the theme of an engine. Without looking at the engine in question and comparing it to another it's almost impossible to say what it is. But from my general experience turbo engines are usually not running rough - they are fairly smooth - until the turbo starts charging and they show their muscles.

Benaaron87 Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 What angle shots do you want . I have pulled out ej22 engines abit and changed a couple of gearboxes . Definately no turbo unless it's hiding inside the engine . Sarcasm sorry . Def no turbo and I'm inclined to agree about the timing belt because it seems abit laggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
