So, I am revising the recipe I originally had for Turbo Swapping my 96 BK.
I was originally going to stuff some 25D heads on my 22E block, with the matching manifold, and run an 04 FXT TD04 and intercooler.
Since then I have acquired a 22T engine with fresh heads, and a bottom end that needs a bearing or two. I also got most of the rest of the engine related parts from this guys SS.
So, I'm now thinking of the following.
EJ22T block, rebuilt with stock components.
EJ22T heads, attached with ARP head bolts/studs if/when I can figure out which ones I'm supposed to use.
EJ22E Intake manifold, with 22T fuel rails and injectors, to keep my electronics stuff all stock.
Bugeye Exhaust manifold, up pipe, and downpipe.
04 FXT TD04 and TMIC, running wastegate boost pressures.
Walbro fuel pump to keep the injectors happy.
Does it sound like this combo should work? I'm not searching for a TON of power, if I got anywhere close to 200 at the wheels I would be positively ecstatic.
And what about the various little nit picky things I may need? Are the 22T water pump and oil pump sufficient for my goals? Can anybody point me in the right direction for new head bolts/studs?
What would be the best direction to go with electronics when I start feeling the need for more power? I don't really want to do a full harness swap to WRX crap, since I'm old school and don't feel I need to be dealing with all the fancy crap the newer models come with, and the factory OBDII system in my legacy should be plenty I would think.
