Re: Selling my old 2.1
Just pulled mine out a couple weeks ago, put on Samba and EBay, no luck yet. I live in Montana, asking $800. Good luck. Michael

Re: Installing a RMW reversed manifold coolant system in 84 vanagon with EJ22
Thanks for the tip Gavin. How does your coolant system work now? Are you happy overall with the row coolant system?

If you ever intend to travel to hot climates in the summer, I'd leave the parts in. It wouldn't be too hard to source the other parts and pieces, and adapt the EJ compressor hoses to the VW stuff. As far as function of the raditor is concerned, I don't have the knowledge to comment on that. PS - On the RMW coolant lines, you will not be able to use the same metal straps that hold your current ones in place. I tried to rebend mine, and they would still not fit. I eneded up fabbing my own straps to hand them, and drilled some new holes to attach one end of the strap to the body. Just an FYI.

Re: CA Emmissions Fail Help Update

High NOX is caused by high combustion temps鈥攖his is why EGR was invented. I don鈥檛 know these early engines but if it has an EGR system, I鈥檇 check that first. The classic test is to apply vacuum to the EGR diaphragm and it should kill the engine or make it run rough at idle. If that works then you still have to check whether the EGR is turning on during normal running by making sure every vac hose is hooked up and revving the engine to maybe 3k RPMs and see if the diaphragm is getting vacuum and the EGR passages are getting hot. Also, when you clear a code you have to drive about 50 miles to reset the monitors in the ECU or it won鈥檛 pass smog for a different reason. Otherwise it would be a lean condition perhaps in just one cylinder, not enough to push the other numbers too high. Checking the plug colors could be helpful to see if they are uniform.

Installing a RMW reversed manifold coolant system in 84 vanagon with EJ22
Hi,
I'm in the process of installing new stainless steel coolant pipes, new radiator, and switching over to the Rocky Mountain Westy reversed manifold system. My question is: should I just remove the AC condenser (radiator) for good while I'm at it? The rest of the AC components were removed long ago for more storage. I think the AC radiator is one piece, but it is a weird shape that is separated into a small and large rectangles. I'd like to understand that part better. It will result in a lot more air getting to the radiator with that thing removed, thus my hesitation... Thanks, Dave |

Re: Vanagon with a DOHC 2.5 engine in North or South Carolina.
Darrel,
It sounds like we are closing in on the same end, though my engine is not in the bus yet. Good luck. jim henry durham, nc 84 westy _____ From: subaruvanagon@... [mailto:subaruvanagon@...] On Behalf Of darrelp86 Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2012 20:44 To: subaruvanagon@... Subject: [subaruvanagon] Re: Vanagon with a DOHC 2.5 engine in North or South Carolina. Over the weekend I finally started opening up the wiring harness in the engine compartment of the Vanagon, and made some progress until I was overcome by a bad case of bronchitis. My very preliminary findings are: Whoever did the wiring modification had the proper gauge wire, but had a limited choice of colors - therefore no continuity of colors from the inside to the outside of the harness. I found that the 2 long wire pigtails that come out of one of the sub-harnesses are part of the charging system. Using the wiring diagram for a 99 Legacy, the large red wire goes to hot with ignition in the run position, and the small black wire goes to the alt. lamp. The other 3 wire pigtails that come out of the main harness are: red to battery voltage, one of the orange wires is hot when ign is in crank position, and the other orange wire is hot when ign. is in run position. I plan to re-verify this this coming weekend, and move on to the wires that go to and from the relay bank mounted in the engine compartment. In the meantime, however, I thought that I might ask if there are any preferred locations to splice these wires into the Vanagon electrical system, as opposed to just using the wiring diagram to find locations that would appear to be appropriate sources for each circuit. Thanks !! --- In subaruvanagon@... <mailto:subaruvanagon%40yahoogroups.com> , DARREL PENNIGAR <darrelp86@...> wrote: appear, however that James and I have one common connection, however. Yes, James, this is the vehicle that was at the Hot Rod shop near Raleigh. The shop owner said that he thought that the wiring harness was sent to someone in Chapel Hill to be modified, but I'd be willing to bet that it was done by the same person in Raleigh thad did yours. Much of the wiring has been installed, but there are still a number of wires, almost all without connectors on the ends, that need to find a home. The wires had all been tagged with paper tags indicating where they went, but after sitting outside for a couple of years, the printing on almost every tag has faded to the point that it is illegible. One big question that I have is concerning 3 relays that are part of my harness. These are 3 identical relays that are mounted together on the left side of the engine compartment. There are wires coming from the harness bundle that attach to the relays, and then thereare wire pigtails about 10" long that come from the relays and are hanging loose. With time, I think I could trace out the rest of the wires, to determine where they go, but since the relays are not factory Subaru, I can't even guess what their purpose might be, or where the pigtails should be attached. Do you know, by chance, the name of the shop that did your harness modification? If they are still in business, maybe we could get a little assistance from them. In the meantime, I thought I'd try to make some photos of the different areas I have questions about in the next few days, and post them for inspection by any helpful group members.

Cracked in 2 - Kennedy Header
Coming home today and bam out goes the header, mild steel, powder coated
7 years old but maybe 30K passenger side, at the joint just out from the head where the dual ports merge into one pipe, completely apart, not a hairline crack but a full blown "in two pieces" Recommendations on suitable replacement? think I will have someone better than me weld it back up but once broken I am not sure I will trust it. peter |

Re: Selling my old 2.1
It has been two years+, but I sold mine on Craigslist
in about 2 days to a fellow in LA whose 2.1 had blown up on the freeway. His mechanic called and asked questions and we did the deal. I think I got $800. My mechanic shrink-wrapped it onto a pallet and the truck line wanted something like $60. It was in LA in 2 days and in his van in another two.... Richard Boulder |

Re: Selling my old 2.1
I have a guy in Georgia that will buy them. I have sold 4 to him so far. He doesn't pay much for them. But it gets them off the pallet rack or garage. 250 to 400 depending on condition. Can just put it on pallet and he has shipper pick them up. If interested contact me

I've never found it to be that permanent at all really. and it is underdesigned some on the subaru. the pulley only goes down over the crank a short way. like a quarter inch or so .. not that good.
