dp213 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Is the 2.5 in a 98 Forester the same as the 2.5 in a 98 outback? I have never worked on a Forester and I am looking to put a 98 2.2 in one. I have done it to an outback but not a Forester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 98 yes. 98 Forester has the same DOHC engine as the outback. A 95-98 2.2 is a direct swap. 96-98 2.2 has single exhaust port heads, and needs the single port exhaust y-pipe to match. A 90-94 2.2 can be used if paired with an intake manifold from a 95-98. If it has EGR you at least need the manifold from a 2.2 with EGR to keep the CEL off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
