lmdew Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 I have a good 96 2.2 and can pick up a 300K mile 94 Legacy. I know it will be going from OBD II to OBD I, but I think an engine harness swap should take care of that! Any other issues, anyone knows of?

GLCraig Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 When I put a 97 engine into my 94 I just swapped the longblock and kept the existing intake and engine management. I did that about 30k ago and it runs great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccrinc Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 What about the exhaust? The '95 has a single port exhaust and '90-95 are dual port exhaust. Emily http://www.ccrengines.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLCraig Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Oh I used a Y-pipe from a 97 Legacy with an EJ22. It will bolt right up to a 1st gen midpipe and hanger. I plugged the second O2 sensor with an old O2 sensor and cut the wire off of it. There are 2 down sides when doing this. 1. You end up with 3 catalytic converters, since the OBDII y-pipes have 2 cats and an 1st Gen Mid pipe has 1. At some point I'm going to check and see if I can find a later Legacy midpipe that dosen't have a catalytic converters and see if it will bolt right in. 2. The OBD11 Y-pipe is between 1 and 2 inches longer so it shifts the midpipe and muffler back some. For the most part you won't notice this. I didn until I bolted on a trailer hitch. If I put a load on the engine for an extended peroid, the muffler will expand enough to rub the hitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
