Re: 2006 EJ25 in a 91 2WD Westy with auto tranny
Are you guys saying an EJ25 is taller than an EJ22? Where would the spacers be placed?

Re: VSS in Syncro
Mine is a weirdstuffwemake version, but basically the same.
My 2000 SOHC works fine with it. On a side note I did not like the SC one I had installed. I had some problems getting it to pick up the signal and engine never seemed to run correctly. ?

Various 2.2 engine questions
A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine purchased an air cooled VW powered Lotus Elan look-alike car called an Autodynamics Hustler from an estate. Included with the car were two pickup truck loads of various VW parts plus a 2.2 Subaru engine, wiring harness, and control module, plus a KEP adapter plate. Apparently the deceased previous owner had been planning to do a Subaru engine conversion on the car. My friend, however,is planning to stay with an air cooled engine, and has offered to sell the Subaru package to me. So - here are my questions:
(1) How can I tell what year the engine is, and is there anything that can be done to make a rough determination of the condition of the engine. (2) If I buy this engine, what should I expect to have to do to an engine like this whose condition is unknown, before I install it in my Vanagon. (3) My friend said to make him an offer. What would be a reasonable offer to make for a package like this with an engine whose condition id unknown? Thanks for your advice !! |

Re: Fuel Injector choices...
It takes special tool to remove injectors without destroying them.
There are many fuel injector cleaning companies all around USA, much better deal than buying new ones they replace O-rings and caps and give you complete report about before and after flow rate Leon On 5/1/2012 12:07 PM, Peter Sharp wrote:

Re: Fuel Injector choices...
Scott Daniel - Turbovans
Hi ..
I never try to get the injectors out of the fuel rail with the fuel rail still on the engine. I remove the whole fuel rail... forget how I do it right now ..I press them out in a vice , something like that. Yeah..I drive them out, using a vice like a press, then press them back in. I generally only use genuine subaru fuel system seals on them. I am sure seals and 0-rings ey exist in the aftermarket too. scott www.turbovans.com On 5/1/2012 12:07 PM, Peter Sharp wrote:

Re: Loss Power, CEL O2 Code, and smog test.
Thanks, do I check that with some sort of backpressure reading or take it out and look thru it? Never done it.

I'm not ruling that out, but I think It's the injectors, just waiting for a new one. --- In subaruvanagon@..., Reno <rbm236@...> wrote:

Re: Fuel Injector choices...
1995 ? EJ120 ? ?DOHC ?non turbo ....... European build standard.
Scott However did you manage to dismantle the darned things? ?I spent hours trying to removed the injectors from their seatings but gave up in the end lest I damaged them. Also, where did you find the replacement rubbers? ?Be a good idea to buy some in before I attempt another dismantling session! Pete...

unplugging injector #2 doesn't change the way it runs.....I'm guessing that a problem. The "new" injector was from the pile of parts. are there different JDM injectors? -Andy --- In subaruvanagon@..., "andymalec" <andymalec@...> wrote:

the IAC valve has two phillips screws.. loosen those, rotate IAC valve left or right, to tweak idle rpm up or down a tad. A VSS is usually recommended also. On 4/30/2012 9:02 AM, paul_reif wrote:

Here is a picture of the setup: You can see the hose coming up from the case to the Y, the hose from the air intake to the Y and then the clear vinyl tubing going from the Y to the air-oil separator and on to the PCV valve. [Also the long hose coming from the L valve cover to the air intake.] Richard --- In subaruvanagon@..., gregg kilcoyne <greggkilcoyne@...> wrote:
