That does look great don't change a thing!

Vanagon guy here... Look at Kennedyeng.com for a link or phone number and call to inquire on their catalog. I believe the bellhousing and starter are pretty much the same so mounting the engine should be as well the same as a Vanagon. From there, the wiring is virtually the same for any car to mount a 2.2 just put power where power is needed and add gauges. Wiring a Subaru ej22 isn't terrible. Cooling will be your fun. I did an air cooled Vanagon conversion with 2 days worth of success. Overheated it and bailed on the conversion to dump the guts into a water cooled one with A/C. Figure out where to put a Radiator and whether or not you want a heater core/heat and go from there. I heard rumor that there were busses made in Mexico with h20 cooling but never dug around on that.

Please do a search thru this forum and its FAQ posts.

Did you try PM'ing this user? Typically ATTN posts are not allowed on USMB.

Now that I live in Colorado I want one with Altimeter. Ill have to dig around and see if i still have the Tercel one.

Those numbers are great. Gotta be a vac or carb problem.

Watch the dash. A 4wd light will come on, then a LO light next to it.

Price it at the dealer. It lasted this long, its worth the $10 or so.

The ones on the front grill of an Impreza? (Ans: Impreza)

Said your oil pump at Moab.

The champion plugs are used to keep the car having a certain percentage of american made parts. Certainly not used for their quality.

These holes are made with insufficient metal surrounding the hole but on top of that when the head and engine are severely overheated I have seen the holes all degrade badly in multiple engines. A guy ran his 98 EJ25 for 30 minutes with the temp gauge pegged and the heads were almost unusable. Re-use of the head gasket when the engine has never been fired isn't a perfect situation but if its the metal multi layer gasket and you are going to put it back on the same cyl head and block surface I say go for it.

The trans has 3 major sections. Your problem lies in the front differential. The main case contains the pinion shaft which is a matched gear to the ring in the front differential. You must keep the ring and pinion a match to each other. If you are not afraid of taking the trans part way apart then you can do this: Remove the rear section (tailhousing) with the 14MM bolts that go all the way around. Remove the front differential. Remove the 3 bolts that secure the pinion to the backside of the main case and drive the pinion gear shaft out of the main case. Insert the same gear shaft from the Impreza into the Legacy trans and re-bolt the sections together, provided that the gear shaft is the same.

Time for a heater!

Absolutely correct. They mount in the same location.

Hobart Kennedy of KEP is working on his personal vehicle having an eg33 SVX engine but hes not in a hurry to complete the conversion. If anybody will obtain CARB approval for that conversion it will probably be him as he knows what it takes to get thru it. I would stick with the ej22 conversion. Theres alot more help out there for it, it fits nicer, and gets better gas mileage. The engines themselves durability wise are about the same but the availability of parts for the SVX engine is a concern. I personally think the Vanagon stock is not a tow vehicle. The vehicle doesnt stop itself well enough let alone your Sailboat too. There are brake upgrade kits available but they really only take your less than optimal brakes and make the vanagon stop more like a typical car or truck from what I have read. South african brake kits as well as some from Smallcar.com for starters on things to google.

I agree, it should run with those codes. The picture linked in the other post should help you. Thats the passenger side of the engine and that coolant pipe is under the intake manifold. The sensor that talks to the engine computer is the one with 2 prongs and the red brick colored connector. The knock sensor is found in a gap in the intake manifold that can be seen from the top of the engine if you look where the throttle cables hook up to the throttle body look directly down for a black thing down on the engine block with 1 wire running away from it and a bolt thru the middle.

That will get her some free time!

Bench grinder with a wire wheel along with soaking it in solvent on the gasket surface.

I can probably source you 1-2 digital ones that are used in unknown/untested condition from local pull a parts here. The yard gets $17.99 ea for them at the one and probably around the same at another yard.

Spin the wheel faster, it wont always turn with just a small amt of speed.

How do you like your Tires so far? I am thinking of getting those too.

Really sick. Not my kind of Vanagon but I have a lot of respect for it. I like a little more "offroad ready" looking setup on mine but how you plan to use it would dictate that I am sure.

I havent seen both side by side but I really like the Kennedy parts, they are really nicely made. I have heard bad things about the Small car engine crossmember but otherwise the rest all seems to be equal.

The crank sprocket may be wrong. Theres one with MANY teeth and one with 6 or 7 bigger teeth that talk to the Crank sensor. Start with codes, there should be some stored if it won't start.
