Putting the finishing touches on an EJ22 swap into a 97 outback and have just about everything stitched back together. But coming off the IACV I have about 4 inches of cooling hose that leads to nowhere. I cut a few hoses removing the intake manifold etc. from a 95 legacy to mate to the 93 long block that was installed.

 

 

I looked at pics of these motors and IACVs. Did a few searches. Shines a flashlight all over but can't find where that hose is supposed to connect. Everything else looks pretty good to go. Can someone take a look at their car and see where the other end of that thing connects. Wasted over an hour on what should only take 10 seconds of the reinstall.

 

It connects to a nipple on the crossover pipe a few inches from the ECT sensor. Royal pain to get that end of the hose on with the manifold on. It's somewhat easier if you remove the IACV.
