Dxg1997 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 So I threw a rod in my 212k mile, 1997 Legacy L motor, and just got a phase 1, 1993 EJ22E to put in from a jdm 1st gen Legacy that was rear ended at ~43k miles. I'm swapping the intake over and the obd2 harness. Can my existing alternator, PS pump, and all associated brackets be swapped over? I've got some stock 97 Outback headers to run the dual port motor. This should be pretty straight forward right? http://upload.vstanced.com/images/2017/11/29/bX2.jpg http://upload.vstanced.com/images/2017/11/29/bXE.jpg http://upload.vstanced.com/images/2017/11/29/bXL.jpg http://upload.vstanced.com/images/2017/11/29/bXd.jpg http://upload.vstanced.com/images/2017/11/29/bXl.jpg http://upload.vstanced.com/images/2017/11/29/bXn.jpg http://upload.vstanced.com/images/2017/11/29/bXv.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton96 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Everything should bolt on/swap over as far as alternator, PS Pump and other accessories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setnev Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Both of those motors are Phase 1. Swap intake, sensors, and accessories and call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dxg1997 Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 @Setnev The 97 is a phase 2 engine. It had the newer style of intake on it, rather than the one that the center sits lower. The one on the stand is the phase 1. Not to mention the one that WAS in the car (with a hole in the block) had inline intake bolts, versus the offset ones on the new motor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dxg1997 Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Okay I'm an idiot, I never looked at the bolts on the obd2 intake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setnev Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 You mean its a V1 EJ22E. V1 (not Phase 1) refers to the 90-96 EJ22E. Those were lower compression and non-interference. The V2 (not Phase 2) EJ22E refers to the 97-98 engine. V1 and V2 are "unofficial" designations. Doing a little more digging on your motor questions, you realistically don't have to swap intake manifolds from the V2 to the V1 motor. The sensors, from what I have read, are identical. Swap the engine wiring harness and the throttle body and call it a day. For reference, Phase 1 and 2 designation applies to the generational changes Subaru made with the EJ series engines. The generational shift happened around 1999 with the EJ22 in the Legacy and the EJ25 in the Forester and Impreza 2.5. Some exceptions do apply. The 99 EJ25 found in the Legacy GT and Outback is a factory frankenmotor. It has a Phase 2 block (EJ251) and Phase 1 heads (EJ25D). I have done a complete write up on Phase 2 vs Phase 1 engine harness conversions and this definitely is not that case. Not to sound like a jerk but I have 4 EJ series engines at my disposal. My daily driver (99 Outback) is running a rebuilt 97 EJ25D. My Forester has a Phase 2 EJ253. I have a 99 EJ223 and a 99 EJ25D (the factory frankenmotor I talked about above) that I am working to combine the EJ223 bottom end with the heads off the EJ25D to make a super high compression motor for my 99 Outback project wagon. I'm talking almost 11:1 compression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dxg1997 Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 I used to have a 97 Outback 5 speed that had the old coil pack design, because the motor had been swapped for a 96. Nothing but electrical gremlins with that thing. Thanks for the info! I've been calling my legacy the Frankenwagon because I'm using parts from 4 engines and cars to make it run lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
