Because of all the missmatched parts......engine, computer????,
wiring plugs, oxygen sensor and fear of later problems, the place I
bought my Subaru bits has offered to take them all back and replace

Re: wiring diagram
I have the 85 to 96 book with few diagrams. Ron Bloomquist got the
Mitchell diagram from a garage that uses a web service to download shop
information. I have clean copies of the 1991 diagram that I

Subaru A/C question
What year did Subaru convert from R-12 refridgerant to 134A refridgerant? I
want to use the compressor out of the Subaru instead of the VW one. It'd be
nice if I didn't have to use R-12.

Howdy Folks,
I'm still collecting the $$ to do my Subie conversion. I'd really like to
see a converted Vanagon if possible. I live in Phoenix and I'll be in South
New Jersey for the first week in

Re: Anticipation...
Hi Tim, same story here. I too got tired of the "preemptive maintenance". I even bought a Casio altimeter watch so I could PROVE to myself thatindeed it was an incline (although imperceptible) and

Anticipation...
Boy, am I getting excited about this conversion. For the past couple years,
I've had my eyes on all the mainstream conversion options:

Re: Anticipation...
Tim,
I'm just getting started down the Subaru conversion road, so my knowledge is
limited to what I've read. I can speak to the reliability of the Subaru engine
as I had a Legacy with 250k miles

Re: wiring diagram
Can you tell me where on can acquire a copy of a Mitchell diagram or a

Re: 2.5
Amen Jay, the majority will stick to the 4-cyl engine. I'd like to use the 2.5l
myself, but I don't feel like waiting for and extra few HP. 130 is fine for me
since I don't plan on setting any land

Re: 2.5
Hello Hobert,
The 3.3 liter sounds wonderful (from a testosterone point of view) but from
a practical point of view it sounds like something to stay away from:
a. not many engines around
b. likely to

wiring diagram
I just bought a Chilton's manual for Subarus from NAPA for $16.00; book
number (8259) 64302. I don't know if this is the one Hobert was talking
about but the engine wiring diagram is not even close

SVX engine availability in Japan
I'm aware that SVXs were very rare wherever they were sold, and they
weren't sold on many markets.
I tried for a year to locate one in Japan, going through 2 parts

Re: Engine transplant, oil
I believe the '95 (no later) long block will work just fine as long as you have
the '90-'94 wiring harness, engine harness and intake manifold, and possibly
some of the '90-'94 sensors in case the

Re: How to join
Mr. Kennedy,
I too want much more power than I really need. I find the 3.3 appealing.
It appears that you have answered quite a few questions here and I have a
couple more.

Re: How to join
Dear Warren,
The 2.2 adapter kit and crossmember will fit the 3.3. New exhaust pipe with
two cats will be necessary. Special exhaust should probably be made for the
Syncro to keep maximum ground
