*** To keep clutter to a minimum, if you have a question - it probably could be asked in a separate thread and link/quote this. Personal preference, but try not to reply to and quote the entire thread...nooo....goodness noooo don't do that!
Read and reread the section you have a question about - it's probably answered. If it's not answered - then it's something that doesn't matter like electronics, DOHC 2.5 verses SOHC 2.2, ECU, transmission, none of that matters. Don't make up questions on your keyboard, get in the garage and follow this:
This is for EJ22 swaps into an EJ25D vehicles. EJ25 = dual overhead cam engine found in:
1996-1999 Legacy and Outbacks
1998 Impreza RS and Forester
The following are plug and play, easy swaps into those vehicles listed above:
1. 1995 EJ22 with EGR
(all 95 automatics have EGR - impreza or legacy, doesn't matter)
or
2. 96-98 EJ22 with EGR and the EJ22 exhaust manifold.
(again legacy/impreza doesn't matter)
Exhaust:
Usually get the exhaust manifold with the engine, but in general, any 96-01 single port EJ22 exhaust manifold will work.
1996 is single port exhaust (95 EJ22 and EJ25's are dual port), so that's why it is needed. Exhaust manifold bolts right in place and you have to unbolt it from the engine anyway to remove the engine, so it's no extra work really.
EGR:
Have to look to determine EGR for certain. Automatics usually have EGR - but not always in 1996-1998 so it's wise to check.
If you don't care about a check engine light (in states with no emissions and check engine light isn't included in inspection) - then you have other options as well:
Basically - any 1995 EJ22 or any 1996-1998 EJ22 with exhaust manifold will work, again legacy/impreza doesn't matter. More specifically:
3. 1995 EJ22 without EGR (manual transmissions don't have EGR in 1995
4. 1996-1998 without EGR and again get a single port EJ22 exhaust manifold.

General notes:
swap the EJ25 flexplate onto the EJ22 engine.
some evap stuff is different in later years...easy to work around, search and someone put a link here if they find a good thread. just swapping/managing vacuum hoses, not a big deal.
automatic/manual does not matter. in 1995 automatics have EGR and manuals do not - so "auto/manual" is simply an indicator of EGR in 1995. but automatic/manual by itself is meaningless and doesn't matter.
Car runs perfectly fine, plug and play without EGR, but you'll get a check engine light which some states don't allow. In states where it doesn't matter - ignore the CEL and run it forever without issue.
