davebugs Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 The Impreza engine will work if you use it's Y-pipe. Confirm that the 2.2 has an EGR (it should). Many other years of 2.5 and 2.2's will fit - most common other component needed could be a single port Y-pipe. Donor MUST have EGR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Welcome to the USMB. Many threads similar to the question you're asking. Try the search function but here are some basic answers: The Impreza engine will work if you use it's Y-pipe(single port). Confirm that the 2.2 has an EGR (it should). Many other years of 2.5 and 2.2's will fit - most common other component needed could be a single port Y-pipe. A 95 2.2 automatic (has EGR) is the most direct fot (has a dual port Ypipe and is non-interference) so it's the preferred replacement engine. Donor MUST have EGR.

a4x4nutt Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 ok i will find out if it has egr valve it does not have the pipe with it so i will have to buy one but thats not a big issue. I tried the search but this is all new to me (suburu) I am a diesel guy doing this for my oldest son. did the search but unsure of what i was looking for when it came to ej motors and such. Couldnt find a listing for putting a detroit 60 series from a peterbuilt in a suburu/ LOL. Thanks for the input will keep you posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 My DD is a VW diesel. I have one single port Ypipe left to sell. If you need it PM me. There are always recent threads with basically your question. And there was a recent thread a fella started to complain that in his situation some of us told him he should consider a 2.2 swap rather than fixing a 2.5 with unknown history. By making him aware of his options somehow he was bothered by that. Lots here, and a helpful bunch. But still best to use search and research a bit first.
