The 95 2.2 has a vacuum/charcoal canister.  The 99 2.5 did not.  Where should the vacuum lines on the 2.2 be connected when there is no canister?

 

Thanks

I had that swap done on my 98 OBW, but never noticed anything about the canister. I do know there are a couple of vacuum lines that are plugged up, and formerly went to something in a previous life. I am thinking those lines went to a canister.

The 99 canister is in the back of the car.  Just loop the 95 lines hooking them together.  

It works well if you put the larger line over the smaller one and just make them u-turn at the hard lines.  

You only need about 2" of vac line to do it.

I thought I did my homework... but failed!!  I bought a low mileage 1995 2.2 SOHC to swap for my 2.5 DOHC in my 1999 SUS and there is only 1 bolt hole for the starter on the 2.2 along with a couple other non-issues(less engine/trans bolt holes).  It appears that I would have to put in a tranny that matches the year of the older motor.

 

Any work around?

Don't know the answers to work arounds, but swapping in a 1995 2.2 to where a 2.5 once lived can't be difficult. That is exactly the swap in I had done at a shop using a '95, 2.2. No need to replace the tranny.

Did you have 2 bolt holes on the motor side for your starter?  It will work, just one bold holding the starter which I'm not comfortable with.

IIRC, the starter on a '95 2.2 is attached with one bolt and one nut on a stud.  And I believe the 2.2 has just 4 bolts to attach to the tranny--folks seem to feel that's okay, they don't worry about the missing 4!

There is no stud on the motor for the second fastener.

I suppose you could use an insert in the bell housing hole or are they just running another bolt from

The inside of the housing?

One bolt is fine. Just make sure it's good and snug. Did this exact swap on a 99 about 20,000 miles ago. You'll be fine.

You can tap the trany for an heli coil.  The hole is the correct size for the 14mm stud.  

I've done several this way.  You can do it after the engine is in.  I've worked from the bottom.
