Pooparu Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 How easy would it be to swap in a Phase 2 EJ25 into my 1998 Outback? Would I need to re-wire the whole thing or could I just use my intake manifold from my phase 1 on the phase 2 block and heads? Just something I was thinking about when my head gaskets go.

idosubaru Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 swap away i believe, someone should pipe in an clarify. all my EJ25's lying around are Phase I i believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suberdave Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 im not an expert on EJ's but from what i have read, they should be the same. the big differance is the phase II block has 6 bolts and the phase I only has 4. not to worrie though. just leave two of the bolts out, the other four fit just the same. as long as the intake bolts up (witch i beleave it will) it should be just fine... -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(the head gasket problem was fixed on the phase II) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suberdave Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 yeah but the intake bolts right up. so i dont see that being a problem. i know some legeay guys take and put DOHC heads on the EJ22t -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooparu Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 I've also heard of guys putting ej22 heads on ej25 blocks to get higher compression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 The EJ25D intake manifold won't bolt up to the EJ22 heads, but a EJ253 (SOHC type) will bolt to it. The exhaust manifold is different as well (singleport on the EJ22). You can transfer the engine harness to the EJ22 and get away with changing a few sensor plugs to match newer stuff or rig up slightly different mounting methods (mainly the coil, TPS, IAC) and you might have to extend the cam sensor wires a little since the SOHC puts it in a different spot. Check the crank timing gear for the same number of teeth, as phase I and II can be different depending on the year.....use the one that goes with your ECU. Take care of those little things and know that you'll have an EGR code....it'll run just fine. Jay Storm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
