They were found in the 99 Legacy Brighton/L and 99-01 Impreza. They were also called the EJ221 and EJ223. Despite the 23 hp drop in performance, they're reliable as hell, with known examples exceeding 300-400k miles without a rebuild, and torque comes on at a slightly lower RPM.

i just realized im in the wrong forum-- i drive a second gen 1999 Legacy GT lol still good to know

 

Ya, the EJ222 from the 99 Legacy is not plug-n-play with any second gen other than another 99 2.2 car. I do have an EJ222 running in a 99 Outback 2.5 with my own custom built conversion harness that I'm developing without hacking a thing from the old harness.
