97 impreza outback sport ej22 swap trouble need I need help!


Recommended Posts

I have a 97 impreza outback sport ej22 I went and picked up a replacement engine for it due to severe leaks on the original. The replacement engine came out of same 97 impreza outback sport. Mine is a manual and this one was a manual also. So I'm not understanding what to do with these extra fuel and vacuum lines.

sounds like one engine had the evap up in the engine compartment and the other had it in the rear of the car.

 

you can either swap intakes or simply loop the evap lines at the front of the engine.

 

There should not be any extra fuel lines.  There are just three of them.

Thank you I figured it out just took sum tracing around and deduction. Do you know why they do that to the same make and model and year lol and one of the vacuums on top of intake is different also do I need to change that ? Thank u again for your help

simple answer - it was a "mid-year change" so to speak.  old style and new style changed in 1997. 

 

swapping the entire intake manifold is a simple work around.  requires two new intake manifold gaskets - get them from Subaru or make sure the're decent, some ofthe aftemarkets are thin and cheap.

 

what was leaking?  why didn't you replace the gaskets, hose, or seals that were leaking?
