xyzb Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 The 95 2.2 has a vacuum/charcoal canister. The 99 2.5 did not. Where should the vacuum lines on the 2.2 be connected when there is no canister? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I had that swap done on my 98 OBW, but never noticed anything about the canister. I do know there are a couple of vacuum lines that are plugged up, and formerly went to something in a previous life. I am thinking those lines went to a canister.

lmdew Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 The 99 canister is in the back of the car. Just loop the 95 lines hooking them together. It works well if you put the larger line over the smaller one and just make them u-turn at the hard lines. You only need about 2" of vac line to do it.

xyzb Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 I thought I did my homework... but failed!! I bought a low mileage 1995 2.2 SOHC to swap for my 2.5 DOHC in my 1999 SUS and there is only 1 bolt hole for the starter on the 2.2 along with a couple other non-issues(less engine/trans bolt holes). It appears that I would have to put in a tranny that matches the year of the older motor. Any work around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know the answers to work arounds, but swapping in a 1995 2.2 to where a 2.5 once lived can't be difficult. That is exactly the swap in I had done at a shop using a '95, 2.2. No need to replace the tranny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyzb Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Did you have 2 bolt holes on the motor side for your starter? It will work, just one bold holding the starter which I'm not comfortable with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olnick Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 IIRC, the starter on a '95 2.2 is attached with one bolt and one nut on a stud. And I believe the 2.2 has just 4 bolts to attach to the tranny--folks seem to feel that's okay, they don't worry about the missing 4!

xyzb Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 There is no stud on the motor for the second fastener. I suppose you could use an insert in the bell housing hole or are they just running another bolt from The inside of the housing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureSubaru Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 One bolt is fine. Just make sure it's good and snug. Did this exact swap on a 99 about 20,000 miles ago. You'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 You can tap the trany for an heli coil. The hole is the correct size for the 14mm stud. I've done several this way. You can do it after the engine is in. I've worked from the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
