is it possible? my main concern is the ignition timing.... would it work or would i have to find some sohc 2.5 heads?????

why do you want dohc on an ej22? won't that make it an interference engine?

Compression increase. It will make it interference though. Timing would be a little weird.

Truly the worst of both worlds. Timing belt? I would not be surprised if someone has done this though.

the reason for the dohc is because someone is selling some complete heads for $100... otherwise i will go for the sohc heads if i can find some for a reasonable price.....

Have you checked on Nasioc? I bet someone has already done this and might be able to help with the pitfalls.

Compression increase.

 

Even though it would be a decrease.

It would be? How so? DOHC heads are like 9.5 or something, right? Stock EJ22 is like 8:1 or something low like that.

The head volume is one of the things that determines compression ratio. The EJ25 heads have a larger volume than the EJ22 heads, and thus, would decrease the compression ratio.

Ah, all right. I understand.

Why don't you just have your current heads decked?

im looking to get better flow, and something aftermarket for cams.... regrinds kinda scare me... i just dont like the idea behind em........

Port and polish?

more expensive than $100 for the 2.5 heads.... it came out to like $600 or more to do the subie heads.....kinda bummed, cause port and polish would be nice.......i had even thought about swapping to the newer 2.2 heads and using 2.5 cams..... i just dont want to get rid of my 2.5 borla header....

here is my 22b engine. going in the car this weekend.

 

2.2 turbo block

2.5 heads

jap spec sti manifold (not sure which version) with 5th injector

Looks great, I'm planning to put JDM EJ20G heads on my EJ22T engine, that would be closer to what the EJ22G was. I probably would use the EJ25 heads if I didn't have a set of EJ20G heads already. Notice that you remembered to paint the timing belt cover red too.

that's going to make my engine ashamed of itself.

EJ22T block ftw.

 

Interference ftl.

Where do you put the fifth injector?

Where do you put the fifth injector?

If you look on the intake manifold, just to the front of the trottle body, you'll see the 5th injector. I was put there for enrichment during certain engine conditions, it was later discontinued as they learned how to program the ECU better.
