My 1999 2.2L SOHC Legacy Brighton Wagon is a PHASE II engine; Is that correct? Manufacter date of: 8/99 , PHASE I is '90 - 98, and PHASE II is '99 only? Is this correct?

Yes, sounds like you got it right.

 

I don't believe it's just a single year though - the 99-2002..or whenever the last year for the EJ22 was should all be Phase II and interchangeable with minor adaptations if any at all.

 

If you're familiar with the Phase I motors, it's really easy to tell just by looking, the newer ones look a good bit different, it's not like it's "hard to tell". The spark plug wire position is a dead give away.

Yes, Phase II engines went into the '99 models. However, there were some less extensive changes in '97 that made the 2.2 an interference engine, if that's a consideration.

PHASE II is '99 only? Is this correct?

 

 

correct for legacy, impreza used the 2.2 in '00 and i think '01.
