Re: Selling my old 2.1
craigslist, ebay, thesamba.com, local newspaper ad.
If the harness was not hacked on removal, and depending on condition, old 1.9's and 2.1's can bring somewhere around 500-1000. Of course it all depends on how badly you want to get rid of it and how badly your buyer wants it. i make a habit of hanging on to the old engine until i'm done with the conversion project just to ensure that i've not forgotten to borrow any fittings or connections that might help me with the conversion. all the best, brent -- Brent Weide Portland, Oregon www.weidefamily.net/vanagon/ |

Re: Crank Pulley Torque

it's moved. I use 'a little' lock-tite on them. I have taken apart thousands of things I lock-tited.. 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. On the waterboxer engine it's about and inch and an eighth or so ..it really is down over the end of the crank, not stuck on the end of it . On 3/30/2012 7:44 PM, realflighter2 wrote:

Re: Crank Pulley Torque
realflighter2
The ONLY problem I have had with my Subaru installation is this bolt coming loose. When it does, the pulley does a number on the woodruff key and slot in the tip of the crankshaft that aligns the pulley and timing sprocket, and the timing sprocket (which normally justs slips on) is nearly impossible to remove. So lesson learned. Torque the piss out of it (¡or factory recommended setting, whichever comes first), a dab of locktite (obviously not the permanent type) and then I index marked the bolt and pulley with a yellow paint pencil line (like they use to mark parts at the junk yard). You can see the pulley and bolt from the rear license plate door, and every so often I will look in to make sure the bolt has not loosened.

Re: where should i buy my used engine in the Denver Area
Terry, there is a place up there also you can call is RetroRoo. He is really familiar with the vanagon conversions. He used to have a westy.

I planned on using the higher torque value. Just did the timing belt on my wife's 04 Impreza and the torque value was 130 ft lbs. in the Haynes manual. I also remember reading a discussion on the torque values and how it is listed to low in manuals. Is the lock tight, medium strength, not needed? I figure it wouldn't hurt since I don't plan on taking the crank pulley off for a while and definitely don't want it coming off during operation. Thanks for all the info, Matt --- In subaruvanagon@..., "Tom Shiels" <tom@...> wrote:

SVX $ question
corey_deahl
In the not-to-distant future, I'll have a RMW SVX package for sale with 145k on the motor.
How do y'all think I could sell it for? And I want to thank you all for the help in figuring out how to get it going again. There's one more thing I need to do (waiting for parts.. ugh), but it should be on the road SOON! I live in Maryland, and have become frustrated and annoyed at the lack of parts availability (a week to get parts-or more)and shops to work on it. Since I'm a novice mechanic, I feel more comfortable knowing I can take it somewhere if I get in over my head! I bought the van with the conversion already done. I'm pretty set on downgrading the power for more reliability and less wait time for parts, since I like to actually DRIVE it. Thanks, C |

The earlier Subaru specification for the torque (69 to 76 ft lbs)was far too low - the later manuals call for 120 ft lbs. I always use 120 ft lbs and never use lock tight at that torque. The lower torque value often resulted in loose crank pulley and damage to the crank shaft. Be sure to use the higher torque as Leon suggested.

Re: Crank Pulley Torque
Then my plan is to get a new crank pulley bolt and maybe a little lock tight.

Do you know if the donor has to be a manual car ifthe vanagon is manual, or can you use an automatic car?

Re: First timer - RMW Kit and EJ22
westytrent
I'm doing the RMW kit as well. Actually I'm picking up the parts on saturday. I'm super excited! Wish I had some more information for you, but it has to feel good knowing others are in the same boat as you. I will be doing an aircooled conversion on a 81 westy. I'm a rookie at all of this, but mike seems like a great guy and your in the right hands. RMW makes some quality parts and they are easy to work with. I hope the conversion goes well for you and I'll be following this thread.

Re: First timer - RMW Kit and EJ22
Matt and Group----just had my westy syncro converted by Small Car Performance. I found a 2010 Impreza 2.5 with 20,000 miles in Spokane, and they installed it. Drove it home from Tacoma, WA to Helena, MT. 650 miles, 4 passes---- I passed cars going up all the passes, avg. 17 mpg, and power to spare. Have been a regular visitor to this group and have learned a lot, and appreciate all the valuable information members have to offer----thanks for that. The new adventure begins.

Re: Foreign Engines, Inc.
Not the same horsepower. Please see below for additional details.
Taken from the following file: Engine Chart 1990-2001.xls 1990-94 Designation EJ20 NA EJ-22 # Cylinders 4 4 # Valves 8 8 Displacement 1994cc 2212cc Power (hp) 118 130 @ 5600 Torque (ft.lbs.) 137 @ 4400 Cam SOHC SOHC Compr Ratio 9.7:1 9.5:1 Bore (mm/in) 96.9 (3.81) 96.9 (3.81) Stroke 75 (2.95) 75 (2.95) Oil Press. @ RPM 43@5000 43@5000 Fuel Regular Regular Diagnostics OBD-I OBD-I Weight (kg) 120 Weight (lbs) 265 Adapter plates, exhaust headers (dual port), coolant piping, will all adapt to the ej20 just like the do to the ej22. Just a bit less power. I had one pushing my multivan around for awhile and found it to be just a bit lacking when put to the task of pushing the van up hills. ej22 was better, and ej25 was GREAT. But, there is a sacrifice as you add displacement in terms of mpg. all the best, Brent -- Brent Weide Portland, Oregon www.weidefamily.net/vanagon/ |

Re: SVX Muffler Options
Hi,

I custom built my system for my SVX Syncro (My SC fell apart). I used 2.5" with the basic design of the SC system. Added 3 (yes, three) Magnaflow mufflers (no cat); one 19" under the drivers side well, 90 to a 14" under the license plate (centered) and 90 to a 14" with in/out on the passenger side. Had to weld a bar from the passenger side mount to hold the 3rd muffler. Sounds great. Bill -----Original Message-----

Re: Crank Pulley Torque
Quite right - I forgot the vanagon wheel torque was so much higher than the cars (87 ft lbs)

I guess it's all up to what was being used to "loosen" the bolt and how much force was exerted. --- In subaruvanagon@..., Leon Korkin <korkwood@...> wrote:
