Re: Cruising Speeds
Hi group,
I've been gone camping for four~five days in my Vanaru and just got back and
checked my e-mail. Let me comment with some of my thoughts after reading
your recent 54 e-mails.

Re: Subie engines for sale
Larry,
I've been speaking to George about his 2.2L. Do you know George? I am very
interested in this engine and I am trying to get a feel for this guy.

Re: DIFFICULT COLD START
Gawzner, on cold starts, our Subaru engine revs to 2000 rpm and stays there
for quite a while (10 minutes or so) and then drops to the correct idle of
850 rpm. Our engine is a 1991 automatic with a

Re: Cruising Speeds
I have a friend with a 1990 Subaru Wagon (since new). He says he never shifts below 5000, and just simply loves to hear it at 6500 (and higher, often). He has 175,000 miles on it. It does not burn

Re: Cruising Speeds
Gawzner, I shift at 4000 rpm to 4500 rpm. It may be a legacy (pun intended)
of my driving experience with the VW WBX but it just sounds right. It may
also be as a result of the gear spacing: shift

I may have already replied, but being new at this, I think somehow I
never did get my comments executed, hence if this is a repeat, I

That's right, he is running a company. If your credit card is denied,
then ANY company will not ship you your order! He is not in the

Re: oil pan
Thanks! Very informative post. Anyone looked into the Amsoil
dual remote filter system, adds about 1.5 qts capacity which would
make up for 'simply' slicing 2" off the bottom of the pan? Bonus

Re: Subie engines for sale
e other is a 2.7 tx6 complete with harness and computers 92000 miles
I have heard that the 2.7liter ER27 six is best avoided. I also seem to
remember Hobert Kennedy saying something similar.

Re: 6 cylinder
I haven't fitted it yet, and it may be quite a while before I can afford to
move on the installation, but I do have an EG33 engine from an SVX waiting
to go in. Why bother with an EJ18, 20, 22 or 25

Re: Syncro conversion website
The 912 is the early 356 powered 911. The 912E is the 70's model with the
Porsche 914 engine (which is actually a VW type 4 engine, with a bit more
agression (but basically the same))

Re: Upset with Hobert!
Just my opinion here.
I don't think it's a good idea to use the Subaru-vanagon list to beat up Hobert. The amount of work he has to do must be stupendous and he takes his time to graciously answer

FYI
We had already tried the "new" card number yesterday - it was also declined.
When Hobert called right back today to confirm that the situation with his

Re: 6 cylinder
The SVX will use the same adapter and motor mounts as the 2.2. The wiring
is similar to 2.2 but does require a speed sensor. The 230 horse would be
rough on the trans if abused. We plan to try one
