Swap EJ 22 Phase 2 For EJ25D

[steve56]

Have 1999 OBW  automatic  with with ej25d with broken timing belt. Going to put in ej22 phase 2 from automatic. Anyone do that swap.

 

Things I've noticed so far are:

 

Need single port exhaust yr pipe. Looks like I need to use ej25d intake manifold, because the wiring harness is different on ej22 phase 2. I dont see an egr pipe coming out of head an ej22 phase2.

Hi

 

You can't do this. Good luck


Ok. More info:

- as noted on here in multiple posts you'll find that that will not work because it's too different. Wiring, intakes are not interchangeable, and other "gotchas".
- 99 2.5 is still phase 1 wiring and heads (short block is phase 2)

Yes it looked a little "too' different. Guess I will take a look at the ej25d and see how many valves got bent. The head gaskets were done 30K miles ago. Maybe able to redo ej25d. I've also done several  95 to 98 ej22 phase one into ej25d. Might do that again. This car is a GT and was hoping the ej22 phase 2 would work. The ej22 phase one would be a little under powered for a GT

There is barely any power difference between the phase1 and phase2 ej22. Just drop a phase1 in there and call it a day.

 

Or just get new heads and put them on your 2.5. It's pretty rare a belt breaking on these causes more than just valve damage.

As said there's issues with that swap.  I wouldn't do it.

Do a search on here for frankenmotor for more options. Phase 1 ej22 heads on your block make a high compression motor with SOHC heads.

 

Or just source a good phase 1 EJ22 and go with the bullet proof reliability they bring. Especially on an Impreza, the power of the ej22 is plenty.

Id be really interested in putting ej22 phase one heads on this ej25d. That sounds like a good use for the troublesome ej25ds that I've had over the years. Is there a comprehensive discussion thread on this topic that you know of?

it's really easy - you'll just bolt Ej22 heads onto an EJ25 block.  done.

when reading that write up - rather than swap engines - you'll simply bolt EJ22 heads onto an EJ25 block.

 

then follow all the details in that thread.  use EJ22 intake manifold and single port exhaust if using 96 and up heads.

there's a hybrid gasket made by cometic. part# H1631SPK040S or you can modify regular ones.

 

Haven't done this personally but it's same thing as head gasket job for a SOHC

Thanks for the link and tips on the ej22 heads on ej25d block
