Having a hard time finding the threads which discuss how to circumvent getting a check engine light when one has done a 2.5L to 2.2L converstion on a 98 Outback. The donor engine came from a 95 Legacy which had a manual transmission and therefore no stock EGR setup. My 98 Outback has an automatic transmission so I doubt swapping the computers will do any good. I thought I read a topic on this last year.

Hi,

REview THIS POST. Basically, you need a '95-'98 SOHC (ONLY) EGR-equipped intake manifold (IM).

I have done a similar work around as the above link on a few cars and it works perfect. The only thing I did different is that I used the brass egr tube and cut it about 2" after the first bend from the intake and turned the tube to point at the passenger side then just put a piece of hose on that with a hose clamp

Awesome thanks guys!
