KootenayJK Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 A guy here has a JDM EJ that seems different to me - the intake manifold is black, and does not seem to be aluminum. Any idea what this engine is? No, I don't have pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 A lot of the newer EJ's have plastic (ABS) intakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoneTurbo Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Is it turbo or non-turbo? Non-turbo EJ20 SOHC had the plastic manifold for a while in the mid 90s, turbo with plastic manifolds came in 2004, first on the Legacy TwinScroll Turbo. Those engines are very sensitive to tune and break easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatswhatshesaid Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Look for a casting number on the block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KootenayJK Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 Well, he has already removed the manifold from the block, and I did not get to see the block. I'll have to ask more ?'s next time I'm out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to ask more ?'s next time I'm out there. Gotcha. It'd be pretty tough to identify the motor by just the manifold. ha ha BTW, hello, neighbor! If you're in the Kootaneys, we're practically neighbors. I'm just south of you in eastern WA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatswhatshesaid Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Yeah - north of Spokane about an hour. I've always wanted to come up there and see what cool parts I can get in the junkyards that we don't have here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KootenayJK Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Expensive cool parts. The yards are mostly a ripoff up here. Plus, most of the cool stuff went to the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our yards are usually pretty cheap. What town are you in? I'll still have to pick through the canuck yards someday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoneTurbo Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Back to the engine... If it stil has the timing belt covers, there is a chance that there still is a sticker with barcode and engine code on the center cover. I bet it is either a EJ20X or EJ20Y, depending if it is MT or AT. Those engines have dual AVCS (variable valve timing on intake and exhaust) and a compression ratio of 9.5 (high for a turbo, hence senstive to tune and easy to break).
