Hi..
you should make sure from them ..
if they are figuring to have the engine plugs on the left ( as the
engine sits in the van ) of the throttle body .
I forget just now since it's been about 4 years since I had an 98
Imprza EJ22 in a vanagon ..
but 'normally' .....like on a Legacy 2.2, you move the engine main plus
from the right ( in the van 'right' ) side of the engine to the left side...
So that it's a nice straight shot to the ECU under the back seat, left
side ...like all 86 and up vanagons have stock anyway.

If your engine plugs are on the right side, and they are figuring 'the
normal way' it's your engine harness that you want to 'adjust' ..
I believe it's only 4 wires in the engine harness that need to be
extended to accomplish that.

and yes...extend your two temp sensor wires..
and ..whole other subject,..
I reversed my first conversion water manifold and have never done it since,
and fail to see any real reason for it .
( other than not having a pipe across the rear of the engine compartment
..and that is an advantage actually in my opinion. )

a whole other story - related.
I just straightened out the most messed up horrible conversion I have
ever seen ..
it arrived ( Legacy EJ22 in an 85 Wolfsburg Weekender ) with temp gauge
maxed out ...LED flashing, and no heater output. Like 'can not sustain
running.'

I made 3 changes..the same 3 features I put on all my engine conversions
that works just rock solid , cooling system wise.
1. I put a small short bypass in the heater circuit close to the engine.
2. I changed the connection on the bottom of the Coolant Pressure bottle
from the output main hose to the engine to the correct return main pipe
at the t-stat.
If the bottom of the coolant pressure bottle is fed to the output
hose ...coolant would have to go fully forward and through the radiator
before it could get to the engine, like as in filling. Dumb !
and really can't work.
3. a small full time air bleed from top of water manifold to upper
connection on the coolant pressure bottle ( 86 and up waterboxer type
pressure bottle ) .

and I brand new genuine subaru thermostat. ( It had a gutted t-stat,
plus hole drilled in the side of it ,,someone's attempt to make this
very hack cooling system 'work sort of.'

After those 4 changes..
she warms up very quickly ...like in 3 miles even ..and temp needle is
nailed in the middle of the temp gauge and heater performance is excellent.

I tear my hair out seeing the pressure bottle where coolant is added
feeding to anything other than the return main line to the thermostat
...because that is all that can work in my opinion.
Every other 'feeding to the engine cooling circuit' is bogus IMO.

also ..it's just nice to feel engine coolant warmth in the air bleed
hose ..you know it's warming up nicely ..and ....air keeps coming out of
the engine for quite a while on first fill up . If there is no engine
air bleed ..I just do not see how they can really work very well. It's
like a fool proof system.
( there's some thought that this engine may have exhaust gasses getting
into the coolant ..though it has now run about a 100 miles with no sign
of that )

And I won't even mention how 'all' the main power wires that come out of
the main relay, and feed ECU and fuel pump and all the 'larger wire
battery power' wires in the harness were all feeding through the '15'
wire from the ignition switch ..
It also started and ran poorly ..
likely from jamming all those high current loads through that one 15
i'gnition on' wire ..
they even had a 30 amp fuse on that wire . Man ..what a mess , and I
still could work on it 100 hours more.
But hey ..I get paid to straighten out lots of bad conversion work ( 3
such major projects 'fix it because someone else did a horrible
conversion job' ) going on right now . So I should be glad such bad
work is happening out there.

it's all fun.

I'm preparing to install the intake back onto a 98 EJ22 and noticed
the wires going to the coolant sensor are now to short since reversing
the coolant manifold. Other than extending those wires does any other
modifications need to be performed to the harness located under the
intake. I would think no since it appears to contain the wiring to
knock sensor, cam position sensor, injectors, ICU and coil pack. I'm
going to have RMW do the harness when I get their kit but just wanted
to avoid any troubles down the road.

Thanks,
Matt
