From what I can tell the 07 has immobilizer but not CANBUS. what are the issues with the 99 EJ22? What did they change between 98 and 99?

Could you use the GL gears and EJ outputs to get EJ axles and 5 lug wheels?

Thanks that’s all helpful. I’m interested in the loyale mostly because of the 4wd transmission with the low range. Seems like the ej22 is pushing it but doable and the ej25 would blow things apart

Hi all, I’m getting ready to dig into a loyale engine swap project and am interested in people’s opinions on feasibility. I have an 86 loyale with a good body engine already out and a 90 spfi with a manual trans and trashed body. my original plan was to simply swap the engine and transmission into the good body. When I realized I would need to do a wiring harness transfer anyway I decided I’d rather put in the ej22 I have in a 99 legacy. I have for another project already pulled an ej25 and complete wiring harness off a wrecked 07 forester but don’t need it anymore, so I could put it in the loyale. my question is how much of a pain is it to get the ej25 to fit, and is it too much power and will it tear up the drivetrain downstream? I’m not opposed to doing some cutting and welding, but I don’t want to have an overpowered car that will tear itself apart. thanks for your thoughts
