njdrsubaru Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 yes i got a new engine for my baby 74k miles for $400! so are there any concerns i should be expecting while installing it? they are both automatic trans and both have EGRs... Exhaust headers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Make sure the Starter bolt/stud configuration is the same. Single port or dual port exhaust on both engines. Other than that it should plug and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmithmmx Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 It is my understanding that for the 2.2 the 95 is the only year of the dual port exhaust. If this is correct and your 96 2.2 is a single port you will need a new exhaust y pipe. Take look at and your new engine to confirm. Other then that no issues.

idosubaru Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 awesome! exactly what i would have done, excellent choice! latest non-interference you can get, low mileage....awesome engine! you'll just need a single port exhaust header from a 1996+ EJ22. it'll bolt right up. your existing 1995 header will not bolt up to your new 1996 engine. Make sure the Starter bolt/stud configuration is the same. it should be, that shouldn't apply to these years/engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdrsubaru Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 ok i have to ask what exactly dual or single port mean? just want to make sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsSVX Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 The 95 2.2l heads had individual ports for each cylinder. I did not know that the 96 2.2l had a single port for both cylinders... Lets hope you can get the headers with it... The rest is just cut'n'weld if they are not whole Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 what exactly dual or single port mean? just want to make sure dual port means the heads have two holes for the exhaust and single port means there is one hole in the head for exhaust. just crawl under your current car and have a look. you'll see "two" pipes coming off the bottom of the engine. your new engine will only have one. the exhaust pipe needs to match the engine (holes in the heads). a two hole header won't fit on a one hole engine or the other way around. 2 port heads = 2 port headers 1 port head = 1 port header 1995 EJ22, all EJ18's and all EJ25's = 2 port heads = 2 port headers 1996+ ej22 = 1 port heads = 1 port headers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdrsubaru Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 yup confirmed the new engine is a single port, i just hope i can find a Y pipe by friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsSVX Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Anyone know the port diameter and bolt centers for the 96 2.2?? Might as well make a header if he cannot find one Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaru360 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 yup confirmed the new engine is a single port, i just hope i can find a Y pipe by friday They are hard to come by, most yards cut them. I have few stashed away for future projects, I spent a lot of time in the U pull it finding them. If all else fails I'll send you one, but I'd need one back at some point.

As long as I get either that one or another one back it's fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 95-99's legacys the converter isn't part of the y pipe. I think it is on the older ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
