subusolo2nut Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Well--I've not posted here in almost a year--the world & life in general as usual--happens. In any case--I know that several people have wanted to know how to mod a dist into a EJ-22---I'm here to say you can & here's how. Most of the earlier EJ-22 cams have a offset keyway cut into the passenger cam rear--This area is covered by a "blanking plug" that has two ears bolting it to the block. This "plug" IS EXACTLY THE SAME layout as the cam offset carrier on the front of the other head (see the first picture) I cut the excess off the extension & machined a bushing on the inside to match with a "normal" dist shaft diameter--I have modified a EA-81 dist to fit--you need to shorten the shaft & body length & use a Honda offset drivedog. I'm re-curving the dist to use centrifical advance only--you can use the vaccum if it is a street car--next you will need to find "true" TDC & mark the front crank pulley--align it with the marks on the T-cover.. O---And I'm including the other picts just so people can see a 200HP CARB'D EJ-22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWX Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 hey whats up man, glad to see you went thru with it. looks cool, are those still dells? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subusolo2nut Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 No-The Dell is on the EA-81--I'll have the Frank'n'take & carb up for sale soon--The EJ-22 has a set of DCOE/9 45mm with 38mm venturies---Have you contacted Alfa 1750 on eBay for your jets? There is a place in So.Cal. (don't have the address) that I know about--I can try to get it for you if you still need it-- T-rex has been consistant all season--I've been invited to Thunderhill next year to "play"--So-the EJ is going in this weekend & I get to sort the carbs out before the next solo event (Sept 11)---wish me luck!!

JWX Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 cool I did email him and he said he could get me most anything for it, but then I actually found a really good deal on a new dell with the UIM I needed and it started right up and ran beautifully, but I will prolly need some when I get it on the road. good luck and I might be interessted in that intake and stuff for my hatch. still have the y pipe too?

subusolo2nut Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 No prob with the intake & carb--didn't work well in the winter here (needed a way to heat the air on the 28deg mornings:)--caused Carb icing on the venturis) a simple airfilter & heat-tube would work very well--just didn't work with a race engine---You would need a choke cable link on the carb (again, not needed on a racecar)--The only thing you need to do is mod the bellhousing (engine side) to clear the accelerator pump--I can shoot a pic of my mod--I'd take $150+shipping for the manifold/carb set-up--include the "milder"jetting so you could use it on a "stock" engine---The "y" pipe setup has been modded to work with the 2.2--I FINALLY got it running this evening--you should hear what two 45mm Webbers sound like on a 2.2!!!! I'd say that the induction noise at 6000 is around 95/100db!!! Gives me a case of "race face" just running it---I'd say it feels like 180hp--so, 1820+the difference for the 2.2 vs 1.8 and 105 vs 180--sounds good to me:) Anyway--if you want the manifold & carb--just E me autocrosser at macdialup.com cool I did email him and he said he could get me most anything for it, but then I actually found a really good deal on a new dell with the UIM I needed and it started right up and ran beautifully, but I will prolly need some when I get it on the road. good luck and I might be interessted in that intake and stuff for my hatch. still have the y pipe too?
