Unfortuneately its more that just an RS with an STi motor in it. The suspension is different, it has a wider track, stronger tranny w/ different ratios, mucho weight reduction, and the only 2.2L motor worth a ****. The motor is beefier that any STi block(closed deck) with different cams and heads. The only way you can buy a 22B motor from Subaru is if you own a 22B chassis so we're frucked

The short block in the 22B is the same block found in the early 90's USDM turbo legacy's and any Ver 1&2 and Type RA's. just bored out, like dazed said. And even WRX wagons had the same block until 98 just not forged internals. It had normal Ver3 STi heads and cams, which are the best flowing any JDM has had. The tranny is the same found in any pre-Ver3 Type RA. The only real unique parts besides the body and wheels where longer rear lateral links, halfshafts, fuel rail, ECU mapping, the Bilstien shocks. I'm not trying to take away from the legend of this awesome car. It wouldn't be difficult to build a replica 22B, but it would still never be a 22B.
No disrespect Dazed but ther is no such thing as an EJ20T or EJ25T or EJ22T. The closed deck block in the early STi's was an EJ20G, usdm turbo leggy,and 22b was EJ22G, the usdm STi is EJ257, the us WRX is EJ205 & 7, actually the 06 WRX's will have the EJ257 in them now so no more 2.0l WRX's in the US.

well there was a english guy that was sellin one on ebay awhile back and got it up to 40k USD and canceled the auction due to the fact that only dealers were bidding on it and he wanted a entusiast to buy it and he showed up just after that on the USMB asking 52k USD for it and sold it to a scotsman
as for the EJ-22T parts and stuff yes it is a general designation but the early turbolegs did have on the block the designation EJ22T on it trust me I have seen a few as for wanting one I also want one ![]() |
