B99Brighton Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I was wondering what the letters on this engine code stand for. ej20dett. Any ideas what years it could be out of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Did you actually see this on a vehicle, or just someone wrote them? There was a recent question about this "code", and one of the regulars said that it is not a valid Subaru designation, but rather a "street racer" (well it was really a semi-slur) Nissan-like designation for an EJ20 DOHC twin-turbo. This would be a JDM or right-hand-drive-market engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B99Brighton Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 Yea, it is a jdm engine. Any experience with them and/or retro-fitting one in to a us made sub? seems like a good deal but I am skeptical about it. I really what to keep complications to a minimum.

Dr. RX Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Yea, it is a jdm engine.

I really what to keep complications to a minimum.These will not install into a left hand drive car without major modifications to the car, or engine, or both. They will install into a right hand drive car, it's a bolt up installation for the components, but a nightmare on re-wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamal Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 The "dett" comes from the idiot who listed it not knowing jack about the engine. It's not an SR20 or RB26 (Nissan engines not available in the US). EJ20tt isn't even correct. It's an EJ20, with twin turbos. And, like Dr RX said, no fit in LHD. Now, get yourself an old postal wagon Legacy and you're in luck. I think that would be fun, although a bit pointless. There isn't really a benefit over a newer 2.0 single turbo block.
