Re: persistent backfire popping at deceleration
Mike Pidcoe
Hello John.
The symptoms you describe are classic for cars that are running just a wee-bit lean. I have little knowledge about the Subaru engines but this is typical of cars without computer control that have had "performance" exhausts put on without increasing the fuel/air (ie. jet changes for us old carb types). I would suggest that perhaps the O2 sensor is suspect here since even if your exhaust was incorrect, the suby computer, with input from the O2 sensor, should be able to handle any variations in back pressure. Good luck, Mike Pidcoe |

Re: Subaru Power Output Graphs
Leon,Since when did the Impreza come with a 2.5liter EJ25? This was supposedly only fitted to Legacy and Forester (though the ugly pseudooffroader Forester uses the Impreza floorpan).

Re: persistent backfire...valve problem?
Backfring can be caused by valves not closing properly (tuliped heads, worn
shims/cam lobes), burned valves/seats or exhaust leaks. Had a Honda VT250 fitted with an XR500 engine (don't get me started on my various repowers). It was popping on overrun, and proved to be a burned valve. It was also a female dog to start, and prone to stalling, even doing so twice when throttling-off in FIFTH gear (thereby locking the back wheel, not fun). A compression test can be used to show valve problems. Simple, cheap and easy.

Re: Project Update, burst coolant line & exhuast question.
I
have a Westy, not a performance vehicle, so I would like it to be quiet, It be my intention to have an extractor system built for my SVX bus. It will have to take into account the desire for accessibility of camcovers, sump etc and ground clearance. No smog requirements here either...so far.

Impreza GT with only diffrence that it is now again non-interference.The power and torque figures are the same.Those from 96 should be avoided due to cams and less power. As of now KEP is not ready to offer late model engine conversion and it would be totaly to us to work it out and it can be pretty hard depending how we can solve the trouble codes issue, new exhaust system, wiring etc etc etc.The main issue being electrical. And, after all, it has to be approved by CARB in our state.Lots of work! I totaly agree with you that it would be a great engine to use even though my 2.2 feels stronger than 130hp it is rated at.

skidplate.The shortened oil pan will work and realy needed on Syncro.It should be available in near future from KEP.I have shortened oil pan of my own design mounted on mine and 2 other Vanagons and all working great.I am also designing alternative engine mount that will be stronger and have provision for mounting skidplate. Some time in future i would like to design new exhaust for better ground clearance.My Westy is not syncro but knows dirt roads very well. Leon 85 Subwagen Westy lynx@... wrote: Hello Group |

15" Wheels
Nelson Stoll
Folks,
I have Ronal 15 X7" alloy wheels on my '90 Vanagon. They were made for the Benz, which has the same bolt pattern. They are offset about an inch, making the track about 2" wider and the vehicle a lot more stable. They are shoed with 205/65 rubber in the front, chosen so the speedometer is accurate. The rear has 215/65 rubber; raising the overall ratio about 2%; not really significant. The larger wheels make room for the South African ventilated disks up front, providing greater, nonfading stopping. This is a great improvement when carrying big loads or pretending it is a sports car. The kit was made available by Griffin Motorwerke in Berkeley, CA. 510-524-7447. They really know Vanagons and handle all kinds of mods for VWs and Audis. The wheels were off an earlier van of mine. A 1976 VW Van with 2.4L type four engine with Okrasa crank, Carillo rods, nicasil Porsche cylinder/pistons, ported heads, big Delorto carbs and a host of other goodies that made the engine put out 150 HP plus and gobs of torque. I had a custom Ring & Pinion made. The van went well over 100 MPH. My wife totaled it in a wreck. Nelson SF Bay Area |

Re: Subaru Power Output Graphs
Nelson Stoll
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýLeon,
?
??? Is?the 1997 Impreza?2.5L engine the same as
the current 4 valve, SOHC 2.5?? Edmonds.com said the 1999 redesign was done
specifically to increase the low speed tractability and it was successful and
the engine has noticeable more grunt than the earlier 2.5 engines.? Was
this same engine in the 1997 Impreza?? What is the factory designation for
the engine?? The same in Japan as US?? Does anyone know a factory
Subaru mechanic with access to the factory manuals and power graphs that we can
scan and add to the library of info we have?
?
There
will be a lot of these late 2.5L engines coming into the dismantler market in
the next few years.? It would be good to work on this conversion.?
Wiring, exhaust, cooling.? This power would be a significant improvement
and parts and service would be available for a long time.? A mild turbo
would extend the power down very low, which would be very good for a Vanagon
that has to work carrying people or gear.

Syncro skid plate
Hello Group
I have seen the two wheel drive conversion but I have a Syncro. The question is this where does the rear skid plate mount in the back that originaly mounts to the factory crossmember. Since the factory crossmember and the KEP mount to the body in the same place it has to be removed.Does the KEP crossmember have brakets for this? Also does ths new oil pan work on the Syncro? Thank You Gerald L.Langley |

indicate that those parts may be defective.The IAC aka air by-pass is important for cold starts and ECT(code 21) is affecting the timing function of ECU by sending confusing signals, so both may be adding to your problem. Resetting codes will not solve the problems.Check both as shown in repair manual and replace if defective. My IAC is not working perfectly mechanicaly but electricaly is ok so i don't get error codes. KEP cat and muffler are fine and work better than stock VW.But more restrictive exhaust shouldn't cause backfiring only less power at high rpm.
