Thanks! Great info

Oh..computer from the 2.2 donor car would resolve check engine light issue, right? Imagine I could also just take the egr components off the 2.5 and keep them connected to the harness, though not mechanically attached to the 2.2 intake.

Thank you! That sums it up!

Thanks for the reply. OK, so 96-98, can swap the 2.2l over provided I have the 2.2 exhaust manifolds. Will just need my old accessories from 2.5 if 2.2 doesn't include them, and otherwise should be good to go? OK to use 2.2 flywheel in an automatic application?

Have read as many posts as I can get my hands on, just need some clarification and reassurance. Can't afford to make a mistake on this. Have a 1996 Legacy, 2.5l Automatic. Engine is blown, want to swap in a 2.2l. From what I gather a 2.2l from a 1996-98 Legacy will work with minimal work, Here are the questions I have: Can I use all existing engine accessories on the 2.5 with the 2.2 motor? Does anything from the 2.5l have to be swapped to the 2.2 (intake manifold, etc?). I've read that I'll need the exhaust manifold from the 2.2 car, is that right? Thanks!
