Oil in inlet manifold - any ideas
My EJ20 has dumped all its oil into the inlet manifold and then through the engine and out of the exhaust. After removing the throttle body you can see about a pint of oil still in the inlet manifold and it runs out of the PCV if you take the hose off.
Any idea what could have caused this?

Re: Subaru diesel Vanagon driving around
Like the others, I agree. It looks very nice and clean!
Even if I still prefer a non-diesel engine, this one looks very clean.

OK Team,
I think this has lost any conversion value now - so Please Stop this thread.
Thank you

Re: Subaru diesel Vanagon driving around
Too many states in US won't allow that engine (since it's not in a car that's ever been sold in the US.) Fortunately he's in Tennessee where (apparently) the laws are looser.
I like how he dealt with the intercooler. Looks like a clean job and quiet too.

Re: Replacement power steering hoses - complete
I had leaking hard lines in my power steering circuit so I did the
hose replacement. I also had a SmallCar 'quiet' power steering hose
that was not quiet at all, so I used the stock Subaru line coming off
the PS pump as the beginning of the high pressure hose. It had a
standard fitting on the end, and I had the hydraulic hoses built with
the correctly mating fitting on the pump end. I'm afraid I don't have
the details anymore on the fittings, though.
I can't figure out where I found the specifications anymore, but in
addition to the flow restrictor that's in the pump high pressure
fitting, power steering hose is designed to expand somewhat under
pressure, which has a pulse-dampening effect and further reduces
noise. Normal hydraulic line is specially designed *not* to do that,
as it would make for mushy hydraulic systems. The stock Subaru lines
have short segments of power steering hose coupled to aluminum tubing,
so it's clearly not necessary for a lot of power steering hose in the
system to get this effect, so mating the Subaru hose to the hydraulic
hose works just fine.

Subject: [subaruvanagon] Replacement power steering hoses - complete
Hello all,
I am currently swapping a EZ30d engine into my '87 Syncro Westy. the old power steering lines were completely roached, rusted out. The old engine had some kind of flex lines connected to the cut-down metal lines via some sort of compression fittings.
I know there are people who sell standard complete Waterboxer <-> PS Rack replacements, and vendors who sell flex lines which connect the Subaru pumps to the VW lines..
but does anyone know if someone is providing a COMPLETE Subaru <-> PS Rack solution?
My Google kung-fu has failed me thus far.
thanks!

blown 2.5L to 2.5L Swap happening soon
hey there,
do i need to swap out the flywheel fromm the old to the new?
in more detail
a while back my 2.5L SOHC blew up. now its time to replace it with the 2.5 SOHC thats been sitting in my garage. I roughly put on 30K with the 2.5 that was in my 91 Vanaagon Syncro.
FYI: i did not do the install last time so i'm looking for a bit of guidance.
Im using the KEP mount and clutch. The goal is to swap out all necessary part from the old and add to the new, sucha as:
1) Power Steering assembly. Is this necessary. I racall the folks that did the install saying the original wouuld not work. not sure why. they replace wiht the one i've seen in the photos....yellow fill cap on top.
2) Clutch.
3) do i need to do the flywheel as well?????????
i'm planning on using the modified exhaust, air intake, wiring set up, and of course adapter plate mount.

Re: Help please! 12 volt ignition connection 84 Westy
Dave:
Here's a picture/diagram that might be useful for your wiring plan as
related to aftermarket gauges.....
There are several other bits of information in that folder that my
prove useful to you as well. Here's a link to the folder:
You are right...you have the option of picking up your ignition feed
up somewhere in the neighborhood of your cabin fusebox (under
dashboard) or you can run a line up from the engine bay black plastic
junction box. Totally your call but please ensure that you provide
circuit protection via an inline fuse (unless already fused).
All the best,
Brent

Re: Help please! 12 volt ignition connection 84 Westy
Hi ..
I missed what year vanagon it is , if you said.
if you need 'ignition on' power in the dash area ..
go to the fuse box.
get your test 12 volt test light out and find a spot where there is
power with the key on.
tap in there.

Hi Scott,
The gauge has three terminals, 'S' which takes the signal from the
sender(the sender came in the kit), 'G', ground, and 'I', which per
the instructions on the kit needs 12 volts ignition on line. The
sender only has the one line coming off (S) and is grounded through
the threads.
So I need to connect the 'I' line to the black junction line? I guess
I thought there would be a place to tie in up in the cabin where the
gauge is, in the rats nest of cables.

Your 'ignition on' subaru EFI system fuse should be on that wire, in

you physically connect wires with butt splices, or even wire nuts

Re: Help please! 12 volt ignition connection 84 Westy
Hi, so when I find that wire, I cut it a few inches away the connection spade into the ignition switch and join the two cut wire ends with the wire coming from my dash gauge 'I' using a twist wire nut?

I used the ignition-on wire at the ignition switch. I poked around until I found
the wire that produced voltage when the ignition key was on. That wire runs
