I got the header pipes from the 2.2 .. Wasn't sure if I had to swap intakes ? I was told to swap cams and cam sprockets.. Didn't know if the wiring was plug and play or not..

I was told this will work so I m ready to go just wanted someone to tell me exactly what I have to swap... I have a 2001 legacy outback with a 2.5 that got ran w/o oil so it's making a horrible knocking noise.. I got a 2.2 from a 99 impeza to go into it.. I did alot of the older swaps but this is my first on the sohc and or phase 2... Thanks

No PA... Does that go for both the 2.2 and 2.5..? There is a 2.2 engine from a 99 impreza mt w150,000 forsale by me cheap.. Was going to pick it up... Sure I ll find something someone smoked a motor in to put it in.. What will that motor all swap in to.. Did alot of the swap s for the 97 to 99 obw but coming into these newer ones I'm not real sure on..

yes i did along w new head bolts also.. this is about the 5 th one i did and never had any problems w any of the othe ones so far.... it does seem 2 be going through anti freeze though could it b burning it out the exhust? the plugs all looked good when i checked them... this car did sit for about 4 months till i started working on it... did the system just get that drained down?

i didnt bled the coolant and will try that.. i m flushing radiator now.. yes radiator and fans were all damaged in the hit.. i repalaced both w them out of a 97 2.2... fans are coming on thats the only thing keeping it from overheating completley.. the temp goes up fans come on temp goes down.. the heat is up and down after driving for about 10 mins.. the temp needle goes 3/4 the way up then drops to 1/2 then up then down... how can i test for a headgasket failer?

hello.. i have an 97 ej25 obw w a 154000 on it.. i did the headgaskets at about 140xxx... i hit a deer this winter after getting the front end put back together it started over heating.. pulled the top radaitor hose and water pump seemed to wking good.. did a compression test and all where between 175 and 190... the only thing diffrent is the radiator is out of a 97 ej22... spark plugs are all burning good and are autolight double plat.. is the head gasket out again?

i have a 97 obw w ej25. it hit a tree this winter. both airbags came out and the tree hit dead center. put the a/c conderser and radiator into the motor.. i have a donor car to fix this one.. as i ripped all the scrape metal out i found out it crushed the timing cover and put the timing belt behind the lower pass. side pulley.. i replaced all the pulleys and put the car back into time and replaced both pass and driver side airbags... when i tried to start it up it couched and sputtered and wouldnt stay running. also the cel is flashing and a ticking noise that seems 2 corasponed w the cel light flashing coming from inside the driver side dash.. do i have 2 reset something HELP im lost

i know its a easy swap from the dohc 2.5 to 2.2 dohc but wasnt sure about the sohc. havent found anything much on that swap. wat i have to do for wiring -
okay im new here but need some direction of what to do. i have an 97 obw w 2.5 dohc that the cam seized in not sure y yet that is in nice shape. i also have a junk 97 lecacy car with a 2.2 sohc. i dont want to get into a lot of money so can i swap the ej25 out for the 2.2 or since the head is shot on the ej25 us the 2.2 heads on the 2.5 granted that the bottom end is okay on the 2.5. someone just did the headgasket on the 2.5 and i think they may of over touqued the cam caps. so whats the best route 2 take. both cars are autos. im not worried about hp or any of that just the simpliest and most cost effective way to make the obw roll down the road again.
