Re: Warren’s Conversion - 2.1 Engine and Tranny Removal
Good point. However I have an 88 tintop automatic that I plan to make my townie bus so I might need the 2.1 for it (unless I come across another 2.5 sometime soon).

Re: Warren’s Conversion - 2.1 Engine and Tranny Removal
Okay, so I’ve started on the removal of the 2.1 from my Vanagon to make way for the Subie 2.5.
Here’s a photo of a perfectly good running 2.1 that I have driven coast to coast several times.

Re: max continuous current draw / vw starter + ej22

max continuous current draw / vw starter + ej22
I'm considering replacing my batteries with a 100 AH 12.6V LIFeP04.
