Richard K Just so Ya know,,, It appears as though the device that You describe & refer to as the IACV is actually The Throttle Body,,, The IACV is attached to the Throttle Body & can be removed &

Re: what rpm range is appropriate for my '92 NA ej22? (in my 1981 4sp westy)
I've got an EJ22 installed since 2000 in my full camper Westy. I drive it like a normal car but you know like 4500 lb Vanagon too. Sometimes I accelerate aggressively just for fun and I've very

While we're on the rpm topic, what's the conventional wisdom re the EJ25? I have a US spec 84 Vanagon with the VW automatic. It has a tach so I keep staring at it. Tx [email protected]>

Re: what rpm range is appropriate for my '92 NA ej22? (in my 1981 4sp westy)
Thanks for the report Eric. Where in the world are you located? Mine is a very similar to my experience on all points you mention. A few times I've experienced the ECU cut off the throttle when I've

I've driven my ej22 with vw's 4sp gearbox for the air cooled engine we removed for maybe 8 years. I've occasionally forgotten to upshift for maybe 10 minutes after an uphill motivated downshift.

Just to toss in my 2 cents....I'm using an EJ22 built by Steve, installed by California Westys.? Very light Vanagon Tintop.? I removed all VW heavy seats, and build my own lightweight camping

?I¡¯m only passing on what I was told by Steve after my failure. On my JDM, I will only occasionally spend several seconds over 4k rpm before shifting up because of what he told me about how I had

Re: what rpm range is appropriate for my '92 NA ej22? (in my 1981 4sp westy)
Running the same speeds at lower RPM is abusive. It requires more torque/effort, more throttle to run an engine under load at a lower RPM. Most Subaru engines have their peak torque & efficiency over

If you drive over 65 mph the MPG benefits are lost . just imagine the impact of strapping a sheet of plywood to the front of a regular subaru .. Sent: Friday, May 17, 2024 1:13 PM To:

Thanks for the added insight Dr Mark. We drove the entire east to west climbing stretch CA Hwy 4 (Ebbets Pass) in first gear (automatic). Not turning 4k the whole time but certainly on the steep

I did read that a post a while back. We're out of warranty by now for sure, but it is something in the back of my mind. It appears we are abusing our motor nearly every grade.

That certainly doesn't inspire confidence in the S&S motor, which we have in our 85. There is a short steep hill locally that I run up in 1st gear (we have an automatic w/ 3.27 R&P) around 4000-4500

I was told by steve at S&S performance that I abused my EJ22/25 Frankenmotor he built by running it up a grade at 4000-4500 rpm for 2 minutes or so, causing it to spin a bearing and throw a rod after

thanks. 5k is a bunch lower than 6.5k. it's nice to see that . is it unhealthy for this ej22 to spend a while, say downshifted on an uphill with a heavy load, at 5k or
