Then it would be a small block Chevy and a Tornado trans

i've been busy gettin ready for our first race this weekend. I plan on starting to look around next week. I like the 2.5 with the obd2. That pretty popular too, isn't it?

Yea,,,for a few more dollars than the OBD1,,, pay for the engine and have the harness done professionaly and go with the OBD2 2.5....plenty of them out there.

My opinion is if your going to go with the Subie platform run the OBD2 2.5 motor. Take advantage of the additional 35 HP and 40# of torque in the same foot print as the 2.2. You can get JDM DOHCs with less than 60K miles for around a "G" note shipped to your door with a Warranty. A word of caution , if you plan on picking up a whole donner car make sure its a standard shift model to lesson the aggravation. The Auto model ECUs dont play well with a converted harness. They want to see the TCU (trans control module). Note that the SOHC motors are not as plentifull as the DOHC motors. They are only USDM issue and most of them have a 100K miles or more. I choose the SOHC because it was a little less weight and bulk. It also had a little more HP and Torque and the Intake manifold runners were slighty smaller for an Increased lower end torque. Food for thought.

You could also forget about the factory ECU and build your own Megasquirt system. I'm in the process of building and installing my third unit. Now you will have control over everything yourself such as rev limits, boost control, water injection, nitrous control, spark and fuel maps, and every kind of ignition option you can think of including coil-on-plug. You can even adapt it to a different engine if you change your mind later. You can also repair the unit yourself now matter what happens to it, short of being on fire.

Cool, that appears to be it. The 6/7 nomenclature is for the 6 Tooth Crank trigger wheel and the 7 tooth cam trigger pully. As long as you dont buy a motor with the 40 tooth Crank and 2 tooth cam like the 2000 and up Legacy standard shift your good to go. Also some of the Impreza WRXs run the same set up as I recall.

haven't been on here in awhile.....boy few projects making progress!!!



just wanted to mention that the EJ22 is truly a bullet-proof motor. mine currently has 285k miles on it. and not easy ones. many Autocrosses, rallycrosses, ice racing events, not to mention 2 years delivering pizzas in-town (3-400 miles a week, all under 40mph). with religious oil changes at 8-10k miles, if I get around to it .

I'm currently rebuilding another one, out of a '90 legacy, with all new rings, bearings, seals, delta ported/polished/ground heads/cams, grimmspeed phenolic intake manifold spacers, group A throttle body spacer, borla exhaust header, Link v4 standalone ECU and an Eaton M62 supercharger. depending on pulley setup, 200hp isn't out of the question (assuming my fuel system can keep up....). for about $2k (almost half of that is the heads/cams).


IMHO the '96 EJ22 is the best motor you can get. solid lifters (not hydraulic lash adjusters like the older ones), OBD II (more power!), and non-interference (should you break a timing belt....). I put a '96 EJ22 out of an impreza into an '86 subaru wagon, and was extremely impressed with that motor.
