Re: Warren’s Conversion - 2.1 Engine and Tranny Removal
Because I intend to remove the gas tank to install stainless coolant pipes and to do maintenance on the tank lines, I drove it around until it was way below the empty mark. ?I carried a gallon of gas with me just in case I ran out and had to put a little in to get home. ?But I made it home safely. ?Then I removed the 7mm screw on the fuel “T” and attached a few feet of fuel line to it. ?I pulled the cover off to access the relay (Number 53) and used a jumper to cause the fuel pump to run, thus emptying the tank and all the lines. ?It worked very well.

Re: Warren’s Conversion - 2.1 Engine and Tranny Removal
I pulled the bus into my garage and, mustering courage, started prepping it for the removal. ?I began by using my shop vac to suck all the coolant out of the system by vacuuming through the coolant reservoir. ?I first opened the bleeder valve at the radiator to allow air to come in from the front. ?I vacuumed for a while, allowed things to settle, then vacuumed again and again. ?Eventually the system was bone dry.

Re: Warren’s Conversion - 2.1 Engine and Tranny Removal
Okay, so I’ve started on the removal of the 2.1 from my Vanagon to make way for the Subie 2.5.
?
Here’s a photo of a perfectly good running 2.1 that I have driven coast to coast several times. ?The most recent trip was to Buses by the Bridge in Lake Havasu City, AZ. (About 700 buses there - way too many for me - been there, done that, don’t think I want to do it again).

Re: David Clymer / 5 Speed Bus
Hi,
I think M. Clymer is quite busy, you could talk to M. Curtis Reed, Email : seattletourguide@.... He is a good friend and associate of M. Clymer in 5Speedbus.
By the way, their shifter kit is great.
I hope this help,

Re: max continuous current draw / vw starter + ej22
Eric- I have made this mistake myself. I burned up an alt doing this. LI batts pull too much power when charging for a starting batt. Todd's reply is correct-it can burn up your alt unless the batt has a Batt Management System. Most modern LI batts do, but there are several issues, still. The BMS also limits discharge, which means it may not allow enough?current to the starter to start the car. This is to prevent a batt fire. Also the BMS can fail without warning, possibly resulting?in a fire. Its far safer to use LI batts just as house batts, where current?draw is lower. Its also best to use a secondary system to control currents, such as a Renology. It's far safer to use an AGM or lead-acid for starting batt. I'm running a three batt system-an AGM for starting and two LI for the camper through a Renology.
Keep in mind that LI batteries always have the potential to catch fire, even if you do everything right. And the fires are virtually impossible to extinguish and produce toxic fumes. Thus, much care and caution is justified.

Hello Group,
I am trying to contact David Clymer and my information must not be current. Can anyone help me to get in contact with him please?

Re: max continuous current draw / vw starter + ej22
It’s my understanding that a lithium battery will charge at much higher rates than a lead acid battery. It is able to do this because of a much lower internal resistance. It’s likely that your alternator would burn up if you happened to start the engine with the battery slightly drained. Keep a lead acid battery for starting and the lithium battery for auxiliary items.

max continuous current draw / vw starter + ej22
I'm considering replacing my batteries with a 100 AH 12.6V LIFeP04.
?
The few I examined thus far can support 100 A draw.? ?I hear the original starter drew 65A spinning the air-cooled engine.? ? ?At $150ish, seems far better than an agm or conventional lead-acid.
?
I suspect that it's harder to spin the ej22 and wonder what the current draw is.??
?
Also, I suspect that my subaru alternator has sufficient voltage capacity to charge it to ~80%.? ?
?
I'm also tempted to add a 12V heater and (thermostat) so that the battery will charge in the winter.??
?
Thoughts?(
?
Thanks, Eric

ECU number translation/harness
I am buying a new harness because it seems I have multiple shorts in the harness on the motor section between grey plug and sensor plugs. I have sourced several on the internet but seems like I should be using the ECU numbers to match with the harness. Can anyone tell me which numbers on the ECU correspond to match a harness ?
2000 Impreza 2.5L SOHC auto trans I think because yrs ago we did ground the parking brake wire. The number on ECU which I think is what I should use is : 22611 AF581. Other (all) numbers on ECU include (from top to bottom, left to right) M2, 22611 AF581, A18-000 DY5 9823.
The closest matching harness is 24020 AF531. So any guru advice out there on how to match up my ECU with a stock internet harness ?
I tried iWire.com but they wont build a custom harness even though they have all the plugs and wire. I am also open to other wire loom shops or ideas.

Re: Broken wire on crank sensor
You’re right. That 90 degree bend kills the crank sensor wires. On mine the cover was frayed and worn but the wires were intact. I re-wrapped them and hope for the best. ?

Re: Fuel rail pressure regulator
I have used a very similar version of a fuel pressure regulator with good luck.?

Also as you thought one of the connection is for the fuel, the other is Evap.? top is fuel supply bottom if Evap?

Broken wire on crank sensor
This seems to be a common issue. Likely due to location given the heat and vibration and the 90 degree bend of the cable right at the sensor it’s kind of doomed to fail. This is a sohc na 2.5, 2002.?
What I found on my harness is that the injector connectors are the same as the crank sensor connector, the wiring is copper shielded however so I was careful not to lose too much of the copper braid. I ended up soldering the ends of the wire or “tinning” them as it’s called and then used heat shrink crimped connectors and covered the whole thing in 3 to 1 glued heat shrink. While the heat shrink was cooling I put a 90 degree bend in the whole package so it wouldn’t be bent against its will down the road.?
Finally I tested the whole mess at the engine bay harness connector (grey one) for resistance with a sensor connected and got 1.9 kilo ohms which seems to be inline with what that sensor puts out.?
All in all stressful but it seems successful.?
Picture of before. I also added a picture of my rebuilt heads as that was a much more successful mission yesterday lol?

Fuel rail pressure regulator
Hi group, I need a bit of help,
?
Actually, on my Subaru/Vanagon conversion project, I am working around my EJ25-2011 fuel system. Here are my 2 questions :
?
- I am tempt to buy and install an Automotive 13129 injection fuel by-pass pressure regulator. Did some of you have an opinion or experience to share on this regulator ? Is this a good choice for the EJ25 application ?
- On the right side of the engine (facing crank pulley), between cylinders the air intakes, there are two fuel rail tubings. The first one is obviously for the fuel line pressure quick connector. The second one is a plain straight tube made to receive a slip-on rubber line and a collar. Is this some sort of fuel rail vacuum line ? Could you explain the function of this tube ? What should I do with it ?
Thanks for your help,
?

Re: EJ25 Injector testing?
I did not have my injectors serviced and I wish I had. I kinda thought my engine was ready to go but now I think I’ll pull the injectors and have them professionally serviced by Mr Injector. It’s going to be a lot easier now than it would be after the engine is installed.?
