matt167 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) Finally got an engine for this pile so I can get it out of here. Problem is the Importer sent an EJ206 long block instead. I called the importer and their response was, it's compatible. Change this and that and it works. In the end I got them to send a partial refund because of the mis listing and it was pretty obvious they were not willing to make it right. I knew the cam and crank sprockets would likely need swapped and planned on that, but water neck and a couple other things he noted were different too. The crossover tube is very different which is why I checked the codes in the first place. It also does not have an oil cooler? Are the cam profiles close at least? I know it's a 9:1 compression and was rated at 255 HP. How much tuning is this going to require to keep it from blowing up or spinning a rod bearing? I know they are obviously doing this so they don't break down more valuable EJ205's since TT setups won't fit LHD cars Edited September 19, 2017 by matt167 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
