Thank you to each of you that pitched in.?
Note: I see a few folks had trouble doing PayPal and a few others asked if they could send me money directly.?
For the first issue - I¡¯ll update my instructions to explain the ?PayPal steps better.?
For the second issue - I accepted personal donations for several years and found out that it was more difficult to track and maintain funds (keeping track of your money) during the year. Besides, there was always that temptation to abscond with the 200 something bucks and live another year in Mexico!! ?So no donations accepted to my personal PayPal, sorry.?
Again, thanks for your ongoing subaruvanagon posts and your financial support.?
best,
Brent Weide

For anyone using Paypal I have a tip. When you land on the "Sponsor this Group" page? put the amount you want to donate in the first window, then click the Paypal logo. Other wise it won't open the Paypal login.
Happy Vannin'

Brent,
I would like to donate, but I don¡¯t want to sign up or sign in with the link provided.
Can you just send us an email address where I could send you money? Or even a mailing address.
Thank you.? Casey LaCourse 978-846-1765 caseylacourse@...

Help Identifying Conversion History 1986 Syncro with 6cyl Subaru
recently purchased a repainted blue 1986 Syncro with a six cylinder Subaru conversion. CarFax shows car has lived in Oregon, Washington and Idaho over the years, changing hands mote often in the past few years.?Appears to have rebuilt transmission as case looks fresh.Vehicle came with no documentation so I am hoping to find out who did the conversion, and the harness, any info on the transmission and other helpful facts so I can avoid duplicating work already done.?Thanks in advance if you can help I.D. This van.
|
But for the most part, my issue was mainly the PCV and getting my VSS sensor connected correctly. I tried 3 different kinds of VSS. ?This one was the winner. ?
I wrote about it above relating to what I had to do to convert the 12V Sourcing signal to the 5V Sinking signal using a relay. ?
|
My idle was too around 950 for a while. ?Long story short when I got my block from my builder I am not sure it was in-fact my block. ?My block was a 99 with the PCV in the block, but when I got my block back I had a nipple there instead like a 2002 model. ?So I converted mine to this year and put the PCV in the intake. ?Trying to solve a oil burning issue I converted the PCV back to what it was supposed to be for that year with the PCV in the block and bam idle smoothed right out and is in the upper 700s. ?
|
Kevin,
I seem to have an early conversion with a 2006 EJ25 that has a later throttle body with a cable instead of drive by wire. I have resolved my issue so far by grounding the neutral position wire and the AT/MT wire. The rpm is much more smooth and doesn¡¯t hang while in neutral rolling to a stop. Although my idle is still around 925rpm.
|
All I know is this:? whenever you fiddle around and cleanup stuff, the Engine Computer has to adjust to new parameters.? Right?? Doesn't this make sense?? With a mild cleanup, computer will slowly move backwards.? With? a major cleanup like total IACV and Throttle Body, best to just go back to original engine and computer parameters.? Same thing happened to my on my Toyota Highlander after Throttle Body cleansing.? yeah, it took a while for that computer to comprehend and readjust itself.? By design...the computer will only allow for incremental adjustments..and this is a good thing.

Nick,
?? Your signature says you have a 2006 EJ25 with a throttle cable. What do you mean by that, since all (least in North America) 2006+ EJ25 Subaru's were drive by wire.?
?I know some of the Drive-by-wire cars, depending on conditions (usually in gear and rolling a bit) will raise the idle speed to @2500 rpms or so.

Another tip:? once things are all cleaned up, the ECU is confused, it's used to dirty stuff.? Reset ECU to nominal; this is accomplished by disconnecting Negative Terminal to starter battery; then, run a jumper from Positive Terminal to the Ground Strap, not the negative terminal!!!!? Let it go overnight; this will drain all remnants of electricity in capacitors in ECU.? Everything is back to factory.? It will take about 20 cycles of start-run-shutdown for ECU to get used to new parameters....but it will get there.

Re: EJ22 AC compressor fitment guidelines?
Jason, I did a Small car in dash A/C on and older 84 vanagon westy a few years back. The kit was complete it did feel somewhat intimidating with the dash completely opened up but it was a good conversion ?It is a very good upgrade.
Ken
I have a 1990 EJ22 fitted into my 1983 Westfalia.? No factory AC, and no compressor or associated brackets are installed on the engine.? One belt from the crank pulley to the alternator.? No PS pump, electric PS only.
I want to install a Small Car vintage air kit, which means also installing a compressor and evaporator up front as well.? I can search for and find Four Seasons remanufactured AC compressors for these older EJ22 engines, as well as brackets on eBay, but I'm wondering if this is the best option.
Similar to the easy modern upgrades for the alternator (I'm running a 2001 Legacy 90 amp unit that is PnP), I'm wondering if there are newer model Subaru AC compressors that can swap into the stock brackets on these older engines.? Perhaps something that is still available OEM, as I am not too keen on cheap remanufactured units in general.? To that end, I'm also wondering if anyone has advice about hose fitment of later compressors at it relates to engine orientation and space in the Vanagon engine bays.? Are there obvious choices people running Subaru's in Vanagons are making for their AC compressors?
