matt167 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 should work fine... 2.2 is single port so you will need the y pipe for that engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Mechanically it installs and runs and drives perfectly. That EJ22 with exhaust manifold bolts up and plugs in to that EJ25 vehicle. If the EJ22 has no EGR and the vehicle it's going into does have EGR: then you'll get a check engine light. If that's a problem for you or you can't work around it then no it won't work. Options:1. ignore the check engine light 2. install the EGR equipped Ej25 manifold onto the EJ22 and play with vacuum hoses to get the check engine light to disappear. 3. bolt the EJ25 heads to the Ej22 block to retain fully functioning EGR.
