3Pin Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I just picked up a 98 outback with a bad 2.5 motor. It is a 5 speed. I have a 2.2 nearby for the transplant, but it came form an automatic. Is that a problem or does the transplant 2.2 have to be a 5 speed? I assume I can just plug the egr and the 98 5 speed won't be looking for that or am I wrong?

davebugs Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 You should be golden. BOTH should have EGR. Easy enough to double check. Don't forget you'll need the 2.2's Ypipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtdash Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hi, Just to clarify as I don't see the year of the 2.2 listed.... The y-pipe is only needed on '96+ 2.2 as they were single-port exhaust. '95 EJ22 was also dual-port like the EJ25. And for the EGR in your case it's a non-issue. As far as I've read, ALL EJ25s - 5-speed and AT - have EGR. For the EJ22s it's hit-or-miss, but generally the ATs all do and some 5-speeds. If your 2.2 did NOT have EGR you'd get a CEL and I don't think a work-around has been figured out other than tapping the head/exhaust and IM to 'make your own'. I've not read whether swapping ECUs from a non-EGR car would work to avoid the CEL? BTW, your '98 OB's ECU will run the 2.2....no need to swap it out.
