bulletprooflegacy Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hi, I'm Nate. I own a 92' Legacy wagon. My original phase 1 2.2 started knocking horribly so I started the quest for another 2.2. So I bought a phase 2 2.2 out of a 2000 Impreza. I have come to realize the ecu/harness won't work and I'm on a tight budget... should I swap my heads and intake manifolds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 That's the only thing you can do with the 2000 block. Be sure to swap over the crank timing sprocket as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'd sell the 2000 intact and pick up the correct motor. You should be able to get one for less than the cost of the gaskets, time and work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 consider a 2.5 block and swap your heads and manifold to it. Otherwise, any 2.2 engine thru 98 will match the intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulletprooflegacy Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) I bought the 2000 2.2 for $300 with the ecu.. what would a good asking price be for it? The engine has less than 150k, very clean bottom end tight compression Edited October 31, 2013 by bulletprooflegacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 It's had to sell an engine that you have not seen run, but I'd think you'd get $500 for it anyway. If you were willing to either install it for the person so they know it runs or give them 30 days that would help. As a private individual, that's not to practical. If you were in CO, I'd take it from you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartless Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 look for 1990 thru 1994 - will be a very simple swap - plug and play. 95 i beleive is when they made the engine harness changes (plugging in on right side of tranny vs left side of engine by the underhood fuse box) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 the 90-91 harness plugs in different than 92-94, but just swap the harness on the intake with your original and you will be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
