Subaru Torque
Tim King
Hi -- guess I'll stop lurking and contribute a _tiny_ bit. I was able to
find the following on the net, it doesn't really help with the question of low speed torque, but maybe it will help if we get to the point of comparing apples and oranges ;-) I just noticed KEP has some of this on their site, too, but maybe this will be helpful for folks lacking web access. Subaru 2.2 (thru 94) 130 HP@5600 137 ft/lbs Torque @4400 Subaru 2.2 (95) 135 HP@5400 143 ft/lbs @ 4400 This compares to some VW numbers I got from David Marshall's always excellent volkswagen.org site: 1.9 wasserboxer 82 HP @ 4800 rpm 105 torque at 2600 rpm 2.1 Wasser 90 HP @ 4800 117 torque @3200 2.1 wasser (87-88) 90 HP @ 5500 117 torque @3200 2.0 L 8V Golf Motor (93-98) 115 HP @ 5400 135 torque @ 3200 1.9L TDi 90 HP@4000 149 torque @ 1900 BTW, there's some interesting subaru enthusiast sites out there: (subaru archives) 1990-94 Legacy scoop: including a sub link to maintenance schedules: Tim King Seattle WA 87 Syncro Westy Wasserboxer (for now... anyone got any sump solutions?) |

Thanks Tim, I was not aware of the thru94 and 95 differences, so you have

John, we have a 1986 Syncro Double Cab with a 1991 Subaru transplanted engine (60,000 km) using the KEP conversion kit (with VW Cat
and Muffler). We also have a 1986 Syncro Westfalia camper with the original VW WBX engine (175,000 km). Actually the two vehicles differ in VIN ending digits by only 20. They must have been on the same assembly line at the same time. :-) We just complete a trip of 1300 km where I drove the camper and my wife drove the truck. The trip gave us a very good side by side comparison. IMHO The Subaru EJ22 engine is stronger. It has higher torque, higher HP, and higher max. rpm. If and when I solve the clearance problem caused by the Subaru oil pan, I'll probably opt to do a KEP conversion transplant for the camper too. -Larry "John P" <jmp@...> wrote: <<I will ask the question again since the silence has been overwhelming. Is there an improvement in low speed (rpm) torque with the Subaru 2.2 engine conversion as compared to the VW 2.1 WBX ?. There MUST be someone on this list that can answer this. Regards John.>> |
