Depends on the type of EJ25
Is it a DOHC or a SOHC model.
DOHC models have a similar wiring system to the EJ22, so it might work
The later SOHC models use a completely different wiring system

I am in a similar position and just picked up an EJ25 DOHC motor locally from off eBay for $50, it's not 100% complete but it does have similar wiring to the EJ22, or at least an EJ22 from '95 or so. How learning or adaptable are the 3 plug ECU's fuel wise and could you just bung on the original 22 version? I would think the airflow meter as well as throttle body setup would get it going but well enough to use properly? Interested to know. Thanks.
it was the early gen2 lib ej25s that had the issue(and the outbacks of the same age) from about 95-99
the problem was fixed from about 99 onwards.
they usually blow a HG at about 100k
