interesting random boxer engine facts

[shazapple]

This is jsut the stuff I got from skimming over a Subaru bulletin I had.

the 2.2L NA had several compression ratios
Phase 1
1995 - 9.5:1
1996-1998 - 9.7:1
Phase 2
1999 - 10:1

HP & tq
1995-1996 - 135HP@5400rpm and 140ftlb@4400rpm
1996-1998 - 137HP@5400rpm and 145ftlb@4400rpm
1999+ - 142HP@5600rpm and 149ftlb@3600rpm

in 1997 the 2.2L and 2.5L became interference due to a redesigned piston and higher compression ratio.

1999 Legacys got the phase 1 2.5L(DOHC) while impreza and forester got the phase 2 2.5L(SOHC)

We had an impreza (99) with the PhaseII EJ22, it was light and that engine kicked! :D

I should swap one of those into an old EJ18 impreza :)
