Not sure I follow what you're saying, avk. I have a '95 Legacy L Wagon, manual trranny, and it's OBD2.
-
Just to clarify--where did your "EJ22 block and heads being run by a '95 OBD1" come from? '95 EJ22s were OBD2 (in Legacys at least.)
-
Johnc--I think you meant to say: "the easy cheap solution is to buy a 95 ej22 w/ egr and swap it in."

1997 Legacy Outback Wagon Catalytic Converter

Hi Erik--welcome to USMB. Frankly I think most of us would disagree with replacing "the whole Cat system!" But suggest you re-post your questions in the Newer Generation forum--you'll get more exposure and a better chance of helpful responses there. -

Hi Ronnie! Welcome to the USMB--you'll get tons of help here. But would you do us a favor? Please post your questions in the Newer Generation forum--they'll get a lot more exposure and more responses there. Thanks! -
Welcome aboard, gator1. You've found a great place here to learn about your Subie. So pester away--we love to talk about them and share information. Oddly enough I was born in Canada--but left as a kid. And I'm a Gator--graduated from University of Florida (a long, long time ago!)

Hi Laurie--welcome to the USMB. I think you're very wise--I would never buy a turbo model because of the potential for catastrophic ( = $$$) failure. Wish I could recommend a Subaru model for you, but my growth stopped in '96 when they ended production of the uber-reliable "bullet-proof" EJ22. Hopefully others will chime in here. Good luck.

Newbie with a slight problem
Olnick replied to yakmike's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Welcome aboard! Can you describe what you mean by a "sudden surge?" -
I believe a '96 Legacy would still be a non-interference 2.2!

Sorry gang, but I just have to ask--why is everyone so anxious to shell out $70 or $80 or $100 to replace the quality OEM starter that's already in your Subaru? It takes the same amount of work to R & R a starter whether it's the one you have or a replacement. But it only takes minutes to open up the solenoid housing and replace the copper contacts. A few phone calls to auto-electric shops or a search online should find you a set for about 15 bucks. Then, if you still want to get rid of your money, send it to me. I'll be glad to help make it disappear!

Fuel mileage

So what year, model, engine, tranny were you driving? -
Just make sure you use a Subaru OEM thermostat or a Stant "Exacstat" along with an OEM quality gasket. If you try to cheap-out you'll be sorry later. Good luck!

2.5 to 2.2 Swap
Olnick replied to xyzb's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
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!
