sinbin Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hello! My 85 brat had an engine swap done for the EJ-22. The engine I got though ended up being bad. I moved to Austin, TX from Portland, OR. It's a lot harder here to find these motors in central Texas. I was thinking of buying one online and having it shipped here where a local mechanic will do the work. I'm no mechanic myself. Can you guys recommend a site where I can order a good, rebuilt engine? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 If you want a really nice motor....Colorado Component Rebuilders specializes in Remanufactured Subaru engines. http://www.ccrengines.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinbin Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 Thanks! I checked them out and they're out of my budget for this. Really wish I could. They look really great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presslab Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Being that your on a budget, how about a JDM motor? There are a lot more JDM EJ25s out there though. I've been quite happy with my JDM motors, they don't leak or burn anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinbin Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 Thanks. I called and they don't have any EJ22s right now, but said to check back in a couple of weeks. Their prices are more in my budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 www.car-parts.com find an EJ22 there and buy it. serach by zipcode, search all possible combinations of imp, legacy, years, etc. buying a new or rebuilt EJ22 is a waste of time. if they've never been overheated or run out of oil they run forever, get a known good, low mileage unit and call it good. there's probably a story why your Ej22 ended up being bad....with a little legwork it's easy to get a known good engine and then things are tanks. $150 - $400 all day long in excellent condition.

lmdew Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Yes, go used. I've bought several 2.2 off of www.car-part.com and they were great. Under $600 including shipping to CO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
