Thanks! Just having fun and creating some video memories. Hoping this helps others who are doing Subaru Engine conversion and for entertainment as well. Lol
I literally was saying in my head "it's alive" when it fired & got a good laugh at your Frankenstein clip! So stoked for you bro killer job as always!🎉✌️
Do your own harness? Nice! That’s a big undertaking. I have good and bad days, of course with video editing I can remove hours of tedious work but overall it’s going well for a swap project
I already had the car- it sat for a few years and I decided to make the swap- then learned a 2.2 is a good engine and some like it better than the 2.5.
I already had the Subaru donor car so that’s why I chose that engine. A TDI would be awesome bit would probably need to use the VW 4 speed and without overdrive on that old transmission, higher RPMS on the engine.
My brother is looking to do this kind of conversion but he wants to have a hvac system do you think the 2.2 could handle a rooftop rv unit or should he just use a vintage air stlye unit?
Many guys use vintage air and have a great success with that. Use the stock Subaru ac compressor and the vintage under dash unit with blower fan. I haven’t done that ac install but hear it’s great. There’s good FB forums for this swap stuff
why not install the other O2 sensor? you could drive around without a cel on. when the cel did come on you would know for sure you did actually have a problem, just my 2 cents.
The downstream (2nd) oxy sensor is to inform you if the catalyst is working properly, just for emissions check. I’m not running a catalyst, so that sensor isn’t needed. The first sensor is for the closed loop fuel injector system, it reads air/fuel ratio and that’s the sensor to adjust fuel injection trims. Thanks !
You've done such a great job documenting the build. BIG THANK YOU for this!

@@WolfofWiscoafter watching this series I am inspired to repeat the project.
Hey, it's a rare sighting of Mr Kooooooooozman
I’ll need him back for some accessory wiring ! Lol

Thanks Matt!
Way to go wolf! Dam right! That was a lot of work! I can’t wait to see it on the road.
Thanks Jed! I’m working out some bugs and will post the first drive in the next video!
Great progress! Love it! I'm going through my harness now. It's a big project. You make it look easy.

Great job, Woifie!
Thanks Keith! Soon to be ripping around the St Croix valley :)
Nice work. I’m running the same engine in my 85 vanagon. Great engine choice.👍

Noice! 👍😎 STOC
Nice project. Just wondering if you've considered a VW TDI engine instead? Wouls have been awesome for MPG.
I already had the Subaru donor car so that’s why I chose that engine. A TDI would be awesome bit would probably need to use the VW 4 speed and without overdrive on that old transmission, higher RPMS on the engine.
Great! Fuel tank in the standard location?
Yes- standard fuel tank and gravity feed outlet that feeds the external fuel pump

@@WolfofWisco thanks
Who did your wiring harness conversion?
Low PEZ conversions in Texas. Google . Around $500-600
Do you have the part number for the belt you used? I also need one without power steering.
Napa belt NBH 25050275. Alternator to crank pulley w/o power steering. Works on my Subaru 2.5 engine.
I used belt Dayco 5050273/ 5PK0690
Where did you find the code killer for the transmission control module?
I had Steve Lopez of Low PEZ customs out of Texas do my wire harness modifications and he added the code killer.
Thank you
Do you have the link to their website I can't seem to find them.
@@timothymarshall2722 low PEZ conversions. Search that. VW subaru
