How many Mileage you got on your EJ22?


Recommended Posts

I am getting pretty surprised by how many high milage ej22's I'm seeing. When my 06 WRX just passed 100k and my dads 96 legacy outback that had almost 270k was running better than mine, i started wondering what was going on with these engines! How many miles do you guys have on your EJ22's? Super curious!

Mine is at 246k right now.

 

Had a couple over 300. Wifes ej25 sohc went to 382k with us and as far as i know is still driving with the new owner.

 

I know a couole of postal/delivery subarus have topped half a million.

damn even the 2.5 liter went that long? I thought those were some of the less reliable ones?

I have/had 6 subarus with 2.2 ej engines.  I can't answer your questions since I either sold them or took them to the junk yard for other reasons, but they had no engine problems.  I still have one with 260 k which I hope to make it to 300K, if I can keep it together with bondo and fiberglass.

Yup that's us! She named her car Ragnar but I call her the baby lion :-)

Kevin told me that you ordered the 2" lift kit for your loyale, very nice indeed!

Check out these pics of us 4 wheeling at guenella pass!

1996 Impreza EJ22 with 255k and still going strong.  Been overheated countless times, first time hit a deer and lost all the coolant, then had no fans for a while since the rad had been pushed back, overheated a bunch more times.  Only one time in the years I've owned it that it wouldn't start, usually sits for a week or two at a time outside.  Planning on getting an Outback starter for it eventually.  Had to replace the clutch and trans over 200k, other than that it's been a great car.  The best entertainment per dollar of any car I've ever owned.

Sorry to hear about your Loyale, nighthawk. If you still have the old girl maybe we can do an ej22 swap someday! I'm down to help! Good luck on finding a first generation turbo legacy, those are really cool cars! When you get one you have to get a lowering kit, those cars look super cool when they are slammed! I have seen a handful of them on Craigslist around Colorado.

If the car gods are good to you, maybe you can find another turbo leggo that has been wrecked or something but has a good turbo ej for your Loyale!

Cheers man

I actually sold it! I would have loved to do it, just a time and money thing. I dont know much about the legacy turbos, Any known issues with them?
