Re: Installing new reversed coolant manifold system...2 questions
Torque settings for intake manifold are listed in a torque listing
file in Files > Torque Information I'd suggest starting with inside bolts and finishing with outside bolts. I'd consult the subaru manual to be sure but would guess that the coolant manifold should be torqued somewhere around 7 pounds. -- Brent Weide Portland, Oregon www.weidefamily.net/vanagon/ |

Installing new reversed coolant manifold system...2 questions
Hi group,
I'm finished with the tear down an cleanup phase of putting a new rocky mountain Westy reversed coolant system and stainless steel pipes into my vanaru (84 Westy with a 94 ej22). I have two questions for the group: 1. How tight should the bolts be (4 bolts) that secure the coolant manifold to the engine block? 2. Same question for the intake manifold bolts (8 bolts)? Is there a required tightening sequence? Thanks for any insight. Couldn't find these answers searching the archives. Dave |

Re: 95' EJ25 DOHC 's Oil cooler size
Thanks guy,
I just wonder that why many of my friend's suby having overheat and head problems in this very hot tropical weather. Adding some oil cooler may necessary.

The thermal plate bolts up were the stock subaru water/oil cooler sits. It opens at 95c and cools the oil. There were early subaru turbos that used the water/oil cooler, the problem is they dont work quick enough to cool the oil under boost or in your case under load.

Kennedy Smog Approval
jamess7y
I'm just finishing up a 1990 Legacy engine in an '83 Westy, and have to do the California Smog thing shortly. I went the Kennedy route, and have the executive order D-428-1 for the swap. I've met all the requirements, and I believe it's clean as a whistle. My local smog guy seems game to test it, but has this question: How is this input in the smog machine for to generate the test approval? He's a sharp guy, but has not had to deal with an Exec Order before. I don't want to have to go the referee route, with the bar code, and don't think I should have to. His question is literally, "How is this handled by the smog check station computer?"
If anyone has gone through the process with the Kennedy stuff in California, and watched what their smog guy did, or can help me out with information I would appreciate it. Thanks, James Sly |

I have used the thermal plate out of a Volvo 740 turbo and plumed the external oil cooler. The thermal plate bolts up were the stock subaru water/oil cooler sits. It opens at 95c and cools the oil.

Re: oil quantity in filter--EJ25
Trick question?
The oil level will go down by the amount of oil that remains in your engine block and heads plus the amount of oil that remains in your oil filter. The level will go up as the oil returns from those areas to the oil drip pan. -- Brent Weide Portland, Oregon www.weidefamily.net/vanagon/ |

oil quantity in filter--EJ25
If I start with fresh oil and filter and the oil
is up to (say) the top mark, and I start the engine, idle, shutoff, and then check the oil, how much will it be down? That is, how much oil goes into a fresh filter? Or am I missing something and asking the wrong question. Thanks, Richard (2005 EJ25 in my Syncro Westy) |

Ej25 wiringf lengths & ecu mounting
Hey everybody.
Thanks answering all my questions and posting opinions about current part for conversions. Most helpful. I have been wondering what people have found for wiring lengths. It seems that the distance from ecu to engine plugs are plenty when mounting the ecu under the seat. I am looking at how to mount the ecu under the rear seat. I am kind of looking at some diffrent containers that I could mount to the seat. Is the wiring length pretty tight or should I expect a little room to play with. How much space have people dedicated to the ecu ground and relay area? I have checked out some of the photos in the files section and would realy appriciate some thoughts and numbers. Thanks a lot Dustin |

Re: MY ej 22 is stuttering
Are those technical terms, are there definitions somewhere?

Re: MY ej 22 is stuttering
Hi folks. I'm not sure I understand what 'Stuttering' means. Is this 'hesitation' or 'cutting out' ? Perhaps 'stumbling' ?
Excuse me but I am not being perverse, but this description is unknown to me. FYI: Tech for over 45 years... European Specialist. If I understand the problem correctly I woud say stumble or hesitation. If this is the case, I would first monitor the 02 response . If it seems to run lean I should suggest miss fire.... plugs or wires. If it is running rich, MAF or CTS problem. If none ofabove, a dose of STABILANT22A on all connectors for the EFI. Denatured alcohol will leave the pin to socket dry and at worse, change pin/socket relative resistance. As you can imagine, increased resistance would alter senor input to the ECM and in the case of the CTS, would richen up the mixture some. This also applies to the Subaru MAF as it is sensitive to in/out millivolt signals. regards dk |

Re: MY ej 22 is stuttering
Eric Neiwert
A very similar issue with my ej 22 and I spent a great deal of time going through different pieces from MAF to spark plugs etc.
Final solution was simple. Cleaned the main connection of the engine harness to the computer with some denatured alcohol and the problem went away. Applying the KISS principal is important. Eric Neiwert |

Thanks Joshua, but I'm guessing that means you were having difficulty with the starter turning over?

In my case the starter is spinning things up very quickly, but to no effect. --- In subaruvanagon@..., Joshua Soussan <cadetjsoussan@...> wrote:

Re: hard start symptoms, intermittent, no cel hooked up.
Hey I had something similar happen to me, whenever it stalled or I shut it off, starting t up again was extremely difficult. I changed out my starter have no troubles now, fires up and quick. It was a remanufactured Bosch and I guess they just let it slip past their checks! So Check out your starter! Hang in there it'll all work out!
