ej25 compatibility with our transmission
I know its a huge longshot, and an incredibly stupid question.
But would they mate without a custom bellhousing? I know someone selling a jdm ej25 ver 7 for a REALLY good price so I figured Id ask. Any help is appreciated! |

I'm still kinda surprised with all the swaps going on no one has done a proper street EJ build here yet. It would be a great project.

Because the EJ engine is inferior in almost every way compared to the FA20?

The ej207 is not inferior from a durability perspective.

I can source a complete ej25 for less than most turbo kits and make reliable 350-400 hp and more torque than a boosted fa20 would make. The only thing the fa20 is better at is better at is fuel efficiency |

The FA20 is better in pretty much every aspect than an EJ aside from the fact that its an open deck.

I was more talking about how cheap and proven street or even full comp EJ builds are. I saw a few teams have run them for drift or drag comps.

Having had a 2011 WRX and being on Nasioc, its pretty safe to say there have been many more threads about blown motors stock on those cars than these.
