Going from about 70 hp to 135hp is a big difference. The transaxle has no problems, as they can handle up to 300hp if treated well. The torque curve of the EJ22 suits the VW 2 litre transaxle and the bus size very well.

The crank I have is original EJ22 with thrust on 3rd main. It has no wear, and is stock main and big end bearing size. Ready for a linish lick and go. Wrapped in wax paper with wax on journals.

Open to offers or scrap metal bin it goes.

Location Ringwood VIC.

I have an EJ22 in a 1975 VW Bus. I put a 2H engine in back in about 2004. It lasted 4 years. I put another 2H engine in in 2008. It lasted 5 years. So I decided to rebuild this time. I had two Subaru remanufactured fully rebuilt heads . Genuine new Subaru valves etc. that I got off ebay for $200. Th...

I have ordered the covers new from Subaru.

Looking for timing belt covers for EJ22 SOHC
I need the main central cover, and the drivers side inner cover.

I am getting the engine rebuilt with 0.5 rebore. The cams will be standard, and so will the rest. I am going to get it all up and running stock EJ22.

Then I will try a small US spec turbo that will give a modest 20% 'ish power upgrade. If it doesnt work out, I will go back to stock.

I am in the position of rebuilding the EJ22 in our VW Bus, and I would like to put some better cams in it if possible, taking into account that I would like better torque over a wider range, and fuel economy is not a problem. If higher compression ratio will add a bit extra power, I am prepared to d...

Got one for $800. Put it in and it is all good.

$500 for a basic engine would be a good price. I am ready to pay if someone has one

Just bumping post to see if any motors have turned up?

Still looking. Not all wreckers have one at the moment, and those that do have either unusual conditions, or the price is hundreds more than I would expect.

I can wait.

Still looking for EJ22. No hurry, just letting anyone who has one they may need to offload.

Tried the local Pic -apart. They only had L series, no EJ engines. The Suby and Jap wreckers were the ones I rang to get the above prices, and they all seemed pretty much on par with each other. I just think that if I can save a few bucks, and someone else can get a few, and we are both happy, then ...

I have a 1975 Volkswagen bus powered by EJ22 for many years, and finally this motor has problems. The conrod bearings have gone. I have had quotes for second hand motors for $660 from wreckers for EJ22, and $880 for EJ22 with new rocker gaskets and cam belt with 3 month warranty. I thought I would t...
