EJ20G Versus EJ22T (stock USA BC-BF engine )

Ralph,

I used Subaruparts.com to order my manuals. No probs, save this: apparently the way their order system works - you order the part and the parts person takes the order and manually enters it into a different system to actually get the part in. In my case getting the manuals from the manufacturer took a little longer than I wanted it to (2.8 weeks) so I called them up to check. Everything was situation normal, just slow. I was impressed with the fact when I called to inquire where my order was they put the guy who wrote the website up on the phone with me to track it down. Not every day you get a business that has it's own web developers in house.

I own a 92 5-speed sedan with a few mods and 135k miles on the original 
engine. I also own a complete EJ20G (2000cc quad cam turbo engine used 
outside the US) and another EJ20G with collision damage to one head and 
camshaft. Even though I have a fresh EJ20G sitting on the shelf ready 
to drop in. (I have a cherry picker and big heated garage), I have not 
bothered to swap engines. In Spokane County,Washington State, I have to 
go through an emissions inspection every couple of years and an EJ20G 
aint legal in the US. It's a lot easier to hide a bunch of mods on an 
EJ22T than it is to hide an entire engine with non-approved serial 
numbers. Although the EJ20G is a peppier engine, the main obstacles to 
more power in our Legacies are in the ECU and external plumbing, lack of 
iintercooler etc. I don't know how much power I have with my EJ22T stock 
engine, but it is sufficient that doing an engine swap before it is 
thoroughly worn out does not seem like a practical option. As I see it, 
the "Holy Grail" is creating a "poor man's" 22B engine with some hybrid 
of the EJ22T and solid lifter quad cam heads such as those found on the 
98 2.5 RS engine. In case you didn't know, the quad cam EJ20G has 
hydraulic valve lash adjusters, just like the twin cam (one per side) 
EJ22T and those devices, while wonderfully quiet and reliable are a 
limiting factor in achieving high revs. Unless you have ambitions for 
achieving 8000 rpms, a stock EJ22T engine is not a bad choice. 
 
(No, I do not want to sell either of my EJ20G engines)
