doing an EJ25 swap into my 99 sportwagon...any tips?

ej25wagon · 06-29-2001, 10:29 PM

wife blew up the stock 2.2
I found a complete(i.e. everything under the hood,,,engine mounts,brackets air box,accessories,main engine harness,and computer ) EJ 25 from a 2001 forester...my car is an auto
and the engine is from an auto....my main question is....
Are the transmissions the same?
if not...will the 2.5 work ? and what needs to be done to make it work?
will I need the transmission from the forester to make this work?
will I in turn need the proper rear diff with the trans.? or are the gear ratios the same?

will I need to replace the cat.? and the reast of the exhaust...I have a Y pipe from a 2.5 rs I'm using...but from there backhow similar is the 2.2l exhaust?
any other tip or tricks would be very welcome to make this swap go faster and smoother....
I'm a 9 yr veteran tech and a 5 yr veteran car audio installer...so feel free to get technical....I'm ase and mecp certified
future questions I may have involve valve body mods to improve shifting ...anyone know of a modified torque converter I can get?
any way...this is enough on this topic....lol
any input from ya'll would be greatly appriciated

so what happened to the ej22 damagewise? and do you want to give the ej22 to me?

#2 and #4 connecting rod bearing went....bent a valve or two in the # cylinder head...
I plan on eventually over hauling the engine and maybe selling it with the comptuer and main harness...I plan on doing a little port work and some other performance mods to it as I get some extra money...the port work and most of the other building stuff I can do myself...I just need the replacement parts...so give it away? no....maybe consider a resonable offer to buy it as is or over hauled

does it have the one or two port exhaust on the heads? if it is two port I might be interested in making a offer on it... or at least the heads.

it's a single port head...borla makes a header for the 2.2 just so ya know
