Have just gone from 18R-22R and was a good move heaps more down low and will rev hard as well. Even better fuel economy on the highway is excellent. Rebuilt the engine and cost about $1200 with extractors.
Still only got 4cyl rego as well.

Pretty much went straight in same engine mounts old bellhousing and clutch. Exhaust is even on the same side. Fuel line -longer rubber hose.
I think it was good value for money compared to V6-V8 options. If you want more power you can then turbo it which will be my next step.
The 22R is easy to get A/C & P/S brackets to fit as well.
