I'm attempting to turbo my N/A ej22, car is a 1999 Legacy L 30th Anniversary edition. I don't see why a phase 2 ej25 head won't mate up with the phase 2 ej22 block and they are both SOHC but I know that there is greater wisdom than I posses lurking in these forums. My ej22 block has single port heads and I want to swap them our for the ej25 duel port heads in order to run boost. what issues do I face? will the heads mate right up to the ej22 in a "plug and play" way? will my stock ECU know what to do with the ej25 cam? Any general advice? I will also be switching the full intake manifold so advice on that would be greatly appreciated. Are there different sensors I need to be aware of? Line placement issues? -
I want to put a lift on my 1999 2.5L Legacy GT Wagon, I have considered a 2 inch lift from sumo parts but since I have the GT wagon that is already lower than say an Outback, I want to do a 3 inch lift. Anyone have any suggestions for a good 3 inch lift kit? So far all I can find are 2 inch and 4 inch kits. Thanks! -
I purchased a 1999 Legacy Brighton 2.2L manual transmission wagon in Dec 2011 with 189k miles for my college son. I purchased it from the original owner who gave us complete repair records including original purchase receipt - the clutch was replaced at 179k... timing belt and head gaskets, valve cover and O2 sensors at 187k... all expected maintenace done on time... only issue was a leaking power steering pump which occurred when timing belt was replaced - the power sterring pump has now been replaced twice but still leaks?? That is a separate issue. At around 200k the engine started leaking a bit of oil from the rear engine seal. About two weeks ago he was unable to make it up the hill to Tahoe - high RPM but no power. He smelled buring oil - which I believe is the rear oil seal leak onto the exhaust manifold/muffler. I checked all engine codes with scan tools and all is good. Reading the boards I thought it might be the mass air flow sensor and the scan tool did read it eratic but when I went to Autozone the MAF sensor they had for a 1999 did not exist on my engine instead the 2000 model year 2.2L air flow sensor did. This is despite the fact the engine serial number matches the VIN etc... is this a phase two or phase one 2.2L engine?? Anyhow replaced the air flow sensor, plus the air filter, the fuel filter, the spark plugs and spark plug wires. And still no power... Clutch in 5th gear with brake on stall engine and replaced at 179k I believe it is good... All codes read clean... the engine is not burning any oil nor blowing any blue smoke... no noise from the clutch and all trans gears shift smoothly... Just no power - difficult to get power over 55-60 MPH and on a steep hill just no torgue at all... everything else runs great.. HELP
