Ihada147 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hey what's up guys I recently found a second gen leggy with an ej25d and a 6sp trans, my questions are: what do I need to make the trans mate up to my ej22e and what parts would I need to use the ej25d heads on my ej22e?? And also are the gear ratios on the 6 speed compatible with the 4.11 differential that's currently on my leggy? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 25d heads will work with the 22e. Check out dohcej22e1's thread about it: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/dohc-ej22e-190650.html I'm pretty sure your 22e ecu can run the 25d long block but do some more searching about that. Are you swapping this into a first gen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ihada147 Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Yeah I want to do all of this to my first gen, since I found an lgt at a local yard and I need some more speed lol, I was reading that thread not too long ago and that's what gave me the idea, only thing is about the harness that's already in my first gen I don't think it would be compatible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Gotcha. If you are feeling adventurous you can boost your 22e. You need to drill and tap the heads for an oil return and run a coolant line to the turbo. Lots of people have done it. An old vf11 from an old turbo leggy works great along with a top mount inter cooler. You can run 5 psi of boost without the need for any engine management. Plenty of threads of how to do it on nasioc and rs2.5.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ihada147 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 I think I might just do that, if I don't end up getting one of the ej25 blocks and starting from scratch I'm still waiting on funds so all of this is still on the drawing board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See DOHCEJ22E1 posts on build with this combo. O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyfvholla Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Yeah, you'll run into OBDI and OBDII compatibility issues. You can't run the 25D top end properly. If you're looking for more power, put EJ22 top end on the 25D short block. With some cam regrinds you'll be putting out over 180 horsepower at the crank and you'll have gobs of low end torque. And yeah, a 6MT would only be in that car if it was fully swapped. And that sounds unlikely since the car is sitting in a junk yard... It's probably the 5MT.
