catsdaddio123 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I bought a 2.2 SOHC engine from a 99 Legacy, and am not sure which engine that I have, or what cars it can be swapped into. Can anyone help me figure this out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnceggleston Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 the 99 ej22 sohc engine is a phase 2 engine and was used in the 99 legacy and the 99 - 00 impreza. with some minor adjustments it can be used in the 00 - 03 legacy, outback, GT, forester, and impreza. but it may be a little under powered for the outback .

Fairtax4me Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 The shape of the valve covers will determine the years it will work in. This is a phase 1: http://smashtech.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2012-02-18_14-07-37_856.jpg 90-99 Legacy 93-98 Impreza Phase 2: http://m.ebay.com/itm/370766386818?nav=SEARCH# 2000-2001 Impreza This engine will also fit in 99-2003 Forester, Legacy, Outback, and Impreza , possibly later years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsdaddio123 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) OK, I checked the valve covers and I definitely have a 2.2 Phase II engine from a 99 Legacy. I want to buy a 99 Impreza and replace the 2.2 H-4 Boxer currently in it (blown head gasket) with my 2.2. Is this a plug and go swap?

Fairtax4me Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Yup. As long as its phase 2 to phase 2 it'll plug and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be direct swap might want to keep the IMP manifold with the IMP car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsdaddio123 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 So did the H-4 Boxer come in Phase I and II? Can you still tell the difference by the valve covers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
