I am intrigue by the oil squirters on the ej22t block but I had some questions, if I decide to do a shortblock ej22t swap into a RS will the squirters work? If not, what do I need to get them working? Will I have to swap in the ej22t longblock with the heads? Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks

Squirters are part of the short block - actually screwed in - and have nothing to do with the heads.

so the squirters run on their own, do they need some type of assemply, lines to an oil pump? I'm taking I need a Legacy Turbo Oil Pump to run them or is my thinking way off?

An ej22t short block should have them already - they tap into the oil passages. I would assume you'd want a turbo oil pump for it anyway, but anything that pushes oil through the engine should get them to work, whether you'd get enough pressure with anything else is another story.

There's pics that should make this more clear in this thread...
p.s. do you feel like I am following you around the web?
