Progress Report - Two laps
The van has now moved on it's own (Subaru) power. The first time it has moved since August. The neighbors actually came out and cheered. I wonder if they are happy for me or if they are happy

Oil pan installed.
Hi Susan, Hobert, David, Jim and the rest of the gang, I finally got around to installing the KEP oil pan last Saturday. It mounted up just fine. I was able to install all the bolts, starting

Re: Getting wired
Hi, Warren; You posted this back in the middle of November...that you would make the diagram of numbers and pins for the gray plugs available for those with '92 engines. I am trying to match up

Re: Oil pans - was "Failed emissions inspection!"
Group, Since the cat is now out of the bag so-to-speak, one of the protoypes is on my '86 syncro. I have not seen it but the first reports have been favorable after a wee bit of tweaking was

Re: targarue?
I am in leucadia and have done the conversion. Thought about 911 and did the sub. The only thing I would rather have is a boxsterS motor. Good luck b4bzerk@... wrote:

Hi Warren. I dont recall them rubbing anywhere else than where Ive just mentioned in my response to Dereck ( the little plastic wheel flares on the bottom rear of the front wheel openings. I turned

Re: Now.! .....Bigger tires for my Syncro!
They rubbed on the front wheel opening at the bottom rear, where the small plastic wheel flares are. Just barely, and not noticable until you put the vans front suspension under compression with

Re: Failed emissions inspection!
Hobert does not have a wife. We are working on cutting down the labor time of the oil pan. We have about 10 here already that we are committed to do. I will post a message when we are ready to

Re: Gas Tank Hoses
As has been pointed out, VW didn't put that stuff in there just because they had a slow day on their hands...the system has three purposes: to allow expansion space for the fuel, to pass fuel vapors

Big gray plugs
According to Ron's diagram of the big gray plug (16 spaces with 12 wires) the engine side has two yellow wires to the injectors, are these wires interchangeable? All the injectors have a yellow wire

Re: Gas Tank Hoses
Mark, Ed is right. It behooves you to get all the hoses in the right place. Besides gas leaking out you can end up with water leaking in, big pain in the neck too. I found that you can get to

Re: Now.! .....Bigger tires for my Syncro!
Brian, You may be right. I gave them a quick measure. Miss the ride, and like I said they were great in snow. The worst part though was just how hard it was to get into the van. By the way, I ordered

Re: Now.! .....Bigger tires for my Syncro!
Steve, Like, Derek, I would like to know where (and when) they rubbed. We are both (I think) considering the purchase of a set of 15" SA wheels with 30mm offset. I'm assuming your SA wheels have

Re: Failed emissions inspection!
The reason we tested so many catalytic converters while putting together our kits is the fact that the original Subaru engine has two catalytic converters. The NOx has always been a problem. Our

Re: Gas Tank Hoses
Mess with the engineered design and you will end up with more trouble than you need right now. Be sure the grommets going into the tank are in good shape or you may end up with large gas puddles
