95' Legacy mod to accept 97-99' ej25d ecm?


Recommended Posts

all 95 automatics have EGR.  95 manuals don't. 

 

i've switched stock EJ22 and EJ25 ECU's multiple times and noticed no difference.  granted i wasn't trying to hit rev limiter.

 

i was at canton pull a part saturday, thanks, got some good stuff!  there's an EJ25 in a wrecked 03 outback - so presumably the motor is good.  get that block and bolt your heads to it, 25+ hp bump for only $125 plus headgaskets?  sell the heads for $100 and it barely costs anything.

Hey Gary. Thanks for the tip. Had 2nd surgery earlier this year and disc is herniated AGAIN for a 3rd time. Doc says it'll need fused, so definitely can't do any engine swaps in the foreseeable future unfortunately. To be honest, the engine runs fairly nice as-is so I doubt I'd wanna tear into it (or have someone do the work/swap that is) unless forced to at this point. I've got a bunch of weight in the car and trying to merge with traffic doing 70+ takes stomping on it and holding the accelerator for what seems like forever. Was thinking the timing advance would be helpful for a little more pep, but it's a not a deal breaker at this point.

 

 

BTW, be VERY careful if you venture up to the Akron P-A-P as the female manager there is making up her own prices despite what the website states. I e-mailed their headquarters and acted like a "potential" customer and asked about a price on something. Their answer matched the website. I told them what the manager was doing (charging for more stuff when it's actually part of the assembly list price) and was ignored. Made 2 more follow-up e-mails and was ignored AGAIN! So, be careful and double-check pricing before going into any of their locations in case this is a bait-switch deal.
