I transplanted a ej22 from a naturally aspirated 1992 legacy into my vanagon. My vanagon didn't have ac and now I'm building an AC for it. To keep it easy to maintain, the new system will be r134a. My question: the legacy had R12 coolant. what compressor should I obtain that will be appropriate for r134a, and fit my motor. Nuisance considerations: will I need to modify or replace the compressor mounts and 4-notch drive pulley, and alternator mounts? Thanks, Eric

Hi GD, Thanks for your note. I'm not so interested in live analysis as diagnostics. Will the "painfully slow" hurt all that much? How difficult will it be wiring up a 95-96 ecu? Are the sensors the same? Note that I don't have a subaru body or even transmission. Will the ecu miss much? I selected a '92 legacy because folk who transplanted into vw t3/vanagons described the later ECUs as being fussy.also: I just wired up my ECU to the engine. The ECU isn't turning on the fuel pump (the signal to the relay isn't being grounded). Nonetheless the engine starts. I'm wondering about likely wiring errors and plan to go through the voltage/resistance tables in the subaru manual. Would being able to dump ECU data will likely help? Note that my engine is naturally aspirated. The VW transmission expects a low horsepower engine, and the t3/vanagon probably is unsafe beyond 65 MPH. Beyond being unreliable, the original engine was so underpowered that it would slow down to 40 when heading uphill. I haven't heard of the ej20g ecu. What makes it special?

I just transplanted an ej22 from my 1992 legacy into a vw vanagon and would love to read engine data from its orange 9-pin select monitor port. I see two affordable products: * an evoscan "select monitor" - to - usb adapter (and their software) * a cable to convert 9-pin select-montior to obd2 Do either work well? Thanks, Eric
