Attention Subaru people!

I’ll be selling my legacy gt in the spring…

While I love your car and it would be awesome I feel it would be a little more than I’d want to spend.

There are many variants ranging from '91 to '01 Phase one EJ22/22E is the 91-96 non interference motor with the twin exhaust port SOHC heads. Same core engine design used in the EG33. Motor has the best rod ratio of any subaru engine.

Ej22T motor would be the best of the 2.2 blocks you could get your hands on in the states. Closed deck turbo motor from the 91-94 legacy turbos. Pretty scarce these days.

If you can manage to find a 22G you have a gem(it’s a 22B engine). Oil squirters, stiffer webbing, list goes on. It was a detuned WRC engine that made it to the street.

Phase 2 EJ222 and 223 motors are the interference cores with changes to the heads(single port exhaust), different pistons, solid lifters, etc. Still excellent motors, just not as good as phase one.

ALL EJ22 open deck variants suffer from headgasket issues, this means everything except the 22T and 22G. If you buy a car with one with over 150K on the clock and no record of them being change I highly recommend you buy a set of OEM gaskets and either OEM bolts or some ARP hardware and change them out(new T-belt kit and thermo recommended at the same time while it’s out)

Exactly the info I was looking for, thanks!
