Man am i glad to find this message board!, tons of great info and cool folks. I have a co worker with a 93 legacy and it has 287K on the clock, no major work either. Anybody out there seen 300K?

My 94 has under 100,000

Just getting broken in, My 93 just turned 138K. I think one reason for the long life of these engines is the crank shaft is only like a foot long. anybody have an idea how many main caps the 2.2 has, 2 bolt or 4 bolt?

main cap?

Do you mean the crank mains? They're completely encapsulated by the block webbing. Picture an inline four block (except with only 2-cyl of course) without a bearing cradle and now attach an opposite-facing block where the cradle would go.

I've got 243+k on mine. Original alternator, PS pump, starter, all sensors save temp sensor, original exhaust (though the muffler's not long for this world).

140 on mine..

A guy near here, (bignose on the board) is closing in on the 300k mark.

I think he's hovering around 275 now.

The two halves of the block are the main bearing caps. I'm 90% sure that the EJ22 has 5 main bearings, which is why it's so much smoother than a EA-series engine with only 3 main bearings.

I'm almost to 135k with the original engine/tranny, PS pump, O2 sensor, and radiator.

I've got 189,500 miles on my '93, and most of it is original. I'm starting to replace a few worn ruber suspension parts here and there, and a few other small things that have worn out...

Highest mileage Subaru I've ever seen was in a local junkyard. It was an mid 80's Gl hatch, known as the chaser in Canada. This thing had 748 xxx km's on it

. Man that car must of had some good stories to tell.

Whoops! Typo -- 213,471 is the correct mileage.

actually you lose by about 4k to steve if we're only including legacies and about 13k if we include all soobs

379,891 on a 1990 legacy wagon and still racing it at the track. still running low 14s with a little help from the bottle(75shot). no motor work just intake, exhaust, headers, underdrive pulley, chip, and ignition.

my friend had an 84 GL wagon that had 400,000 miles when he donated it. It still ran fine, he just was ready for something else. Used some oil, though.

britman · Post by **britman** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 4:22 am

91White-T just bought a '91 SS with 420k miles on it! I'd say he's got the winner.

Project_Legacy · Post by **Project_Legacy** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 5:21 am

LoL. crazy. thats a LOT of miles. my 90 N/A legacy blew up at 238,000 miles and my 91 N/a Legacy is pretty much hella smooth running at about 200,000 miles.

Note: wasnt my fault motor blew-up. previous owner did NOT take care of the car. now its runnin the ej22t+ej20g hybrid!

Oh Yeah!

LegacyT · Post by **LegacyT** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 12:07 pm

Believe it or not I once saw an old chaser in a yard with 870 000kms on it

I wish I had my camera! I felt like saving it but it was a total loss, she was scrapped about 2 years ago now RIP
