so today i wanted to get rid of my CEL. well it turned into a hell of a day.

 

i couldnt sleep again last night, so around 4am i decided to take a nice peaceful drive to my hall and check in. stopped by advanced auto to pick up my knock sensor i ordered. got home, made myself some eggs and let the car cool down a bit before i start doing anything. i go outside and it took me all of like 3 mins to change it. i wasnt expecting it to go so smoothly.

i then decided to replace the purge valve to since that was giving me a CEL. i had an extra so i used that.

 

heres the stock location

now the task to get to this sucker is retarded. i was feeling motivated so i decided to try and put my tdo5 on and the 3" tbe i have lying around.

 

so i pulled the stock exhaust off

i tried using the turbo without a tmic cause the one i have needs a bpv. in the end, it didnt work.

so i had to put the vf11 back in and put the DP on with a new gasket i had lying around.

i relocated the purge valve to the top of the intake manifold for easier access next time.

I decided to put my STI CF strut on while i was at it.

after all that, it was still kinda early. so after getting the DP on i was just about to put the catback on and then decided to swap out the sway bar since the exhaust is out of the way.

the best thing for all you guys new to the subaru engine and its design should read here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_EJ_engine#EJ22E

all the info u need is here. also click on the blue highlighted words to learn more.

 

 

when it comes to swapping. A subaru is like legos. any drivetrain part will fit from 89 to present. some parts will need small amounts of frabrication from different model years but mainly engine, trans, and rears will bolt in.

my 99 legacy is has an EJ22 in it. It is deffinately OBD II though. what do you mean exactly?

 

u have an EJ22E engine. completely different from the EJ22T.

^^^ probly cheaper to put another engine in or have one as a spare. just my .02 cents...

 

i sold an ej22 for 250 bucks with 75k on it.

 

i googled rebuild kits for subaru. heres what i found.

http://www.rpmrons.com/Subarukits1.html

 

 

Legacy, Impreza 1990-96 2212cc EJ22E engine

• 2.2L F.I. 16-valve SOHC H4 main kit EKSU9M $653.72 (exc. California)
  
• 2.2L F.I. 16-valve SOHC H4 main kit EKSU9LM $680.23 (w/Cal. emissions)
  
• 2.2L F.I. 16-valve SOHC H4 re-ring kit EKSU9R $403.80
  

the 2.2L n/a in stock form is very reliable. but as far as making power, not worth it. u want power, swap the engine.

The 1994 is a Phase I version. It uses an OBDI ECU, where as the 1996 is OBDII.

 

 

95 2.2L Legacy's were OBDII

95 1.8L Impreza's were OBDI and the 2.2L were OBDII

 

96 was the year ALL cars had to be OBDII.
