58/71\05 VW Beetle/Subaru Swap....Fuel lines and Fuel Pump

[@ciscokidfab7595]

The metal doughnut cut in half is a great idea for reversing the air intake.

[@--SubaruSwapVWBeetle]

It definitely is! But I can't take credit for that. Somebody else came up with that and good thing they did....because It works mint!😀

[@bigtoepapa]

Subscribed!! I'm searching for an old beetle bug and know I'm gonna want to swap it for ej series motor or Porsche. Fun build and thanks for sharing 🎉🎉

[@--SubaruSwapVWBeetle]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@vl639]

Very nice fabrication work! Looks awesome!

[@vl639]

Great job man, looks awesome.

[@jasonurquidi1801]

Congrats and thank you so much for the explanation soon I'm going to do a same job in my vw beetle with sti ej20 and your help is worth a lot

[@RafaelNorthTrucker]

I'm following you! Nice work! Keep it up

[@--SubaruSwapVWBeetle]

Thank you! Enjoy 😎👍

[@jk15214]

Really like the throttle artificial feel (Spring) set-up like to see it done!

[@--SubaruSwapVWBeetle]

Thanks! I feel it brings a more modern touch to the build!😎👍🏻

[@twistdechos9413]

I’m not sure about some of the subies but I think most you can just flip the intake manifold around and it still bolts up

[@jerrye5969]

awsome job I'm trying to do some what the same thing I'm putting a 03 Subaru impreza sti motor is my 71 super beetle I think the wiring is a pain in the ass so far the jdm motor I got they cut the main harness. I'm trying to find a complete engine wiring harness not easy man. Urs is deffinty sick

[@azdirtbag1]

Nice work can't wait for it to be on the road

[@elnismo7014]

Good work looks clean nice job can you explain the wiring on fuse block and rest please

[@robertgonzales3447]

I think the fuel filter would be better placed after the fuel pump? if the fuel pump was to malfunction debris would end up in the injectors.

[@martinvaldepena48]

Nice job again keep up the good work do you have a link to reverser throttle body that you are working on that you purchase it on ebay and you cut it in half. thanks

[@mikelobao]

Is that subaru peddle set up and master cylinder? What brackes are you using? Very clean work

[@--SubaruSwapVWBeetle]

@@mikelobaoThanks!! it's a stock VW master cylinder. And I just made a bracket to accommodate the new gas pedal.

[@mikelobao]

Thank you

[@tallcool1ify]

Very nice work! A little motion sickness from camera shake.

[@vcamps88]

How is it on the road, I had mine in that location but on the bulk head instead of the lower plate like yours. Mine was giving me temp issues and it was very loud

[@--SubaruSwapVWBeetle]

Sorry for the late response. The fuel pump is a little loud but other than that I've had zero issues.

[@vcamps88]

@--SubaruSwapVWBeetle ok awesome I'll be moving mine soon. Thanks 😊

[@AllieAussie]

Hello Mike, you responded to my request for info on starting my swap on a 71 SB yesterday. Great idea on the fuel return with the T-fitting, now that your on the road how is this working? Great info video reference for me thanks. Ken

[@michaelbloom2223]

hey , what fuel regulators did you use? very nice ride, thank you for your posts

[@josesanchez-vi4js]

How is the fuel system set up working out? What fuel pump are you using?

[@--SubaruSwapVWBeetle]

So far so good. 3 years now and zero issues. And the pump is a inline E2000 from a 80s ford f150/bronco

[@monica93304]

is your fuel pump a Bosch 044? Great reference video.

[@koltonstandlee7914]

Where would it be able to get an adapter plate for Subaru to vw trans

[@martinvaldepena48]

Nice set up I had guy tell me I can't use harness an ecu from a 2005 outback what year subaru did you pull out harness from. Thanks

[@Baker5695]

How much space is between the rear of the engine and the rear of the tires and what hight tires are you running I'm narrowing my torsion housing by 10" so I'm wondering how much tire I can run before the motor starts messing with the tires. Great build man keep it up 😀

[@Baker5695]

VW 1 thanks man it's hard to find info on that kind of thing I don't think to many people are running a Subaru motor with giant drag tires I'm planning on running 515/45 15r when I'm done

[@tonyvickers8659]

What size are your tires? Do they rub in the front? Who makes those rims? Also what master cylinder and reservoir is that? Thanks. Looks great!

[@tonyvickers8659]

Thank you for answering me twice on the wheels and tires. Sorry about that.

[@yusfalassd3897]

How can I make a shortened ej16 engine drive set

[@LJ-gn2un]

Very nice job! You've done a ton of work! But if I can make a safety suggestion for you - do NOT run your fuel lines through the inside of the car. It's an accident waiting to happen. Run them through the tunnel. Heaven forbid you get in an accident and there is damage to that line if there's not a rollover switch on your pump. Especially if you've got a hot sparking battery running right beside it ... well you can imagine the rest.

[@LJ-gn2un]

At the very least install a rollover switch. They are very inexpensive and easy to wire in. There have been many cases of fuel fed car fires after rollovers because the engines kept running or the pump didn't shut off like it was suppose too. And yes, a car engine can run upside-down! I won't want to be trapped in the car in that case, especially with the fuel pump feeding the fire. I'm an aircraft tech by trade and I'm all about safety!

[@martinvaldepena48]

Would like to know where you purchase the fuel tee. thanks

[@rockwell3851]

Do you have to program the ecu?

[@--SubaruSwapVWBeetle]

No it's a stock ECU so no programming required. But on 2005+ the ECU is tunable so I always have that option.

[@jcrosdale05gmail.comcrosdale]

What transmission you hve?

[@--SubaruSwapVWBeetle]

In that video it was a stock 71' irs trans 4:12. That transmission did finally let go and I upgraded to a somewhat prostreet/ freeway flyer. The new trans is super built with a quafie diff and a 3:44 gear and a bunch of other stuff. m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2277685209218797&id=100009320192608

[@rockwell3851]

What fuel pump are you using?

[@--SubaruSwapVWBeetle]

$20 E2000 fuel pump from ebay

[@cedrickf2856]

How did you wire the ecu/pcm into the vw harness. Did you just splice within or removed everything and start from scratch.

[@garygraham416]

I have a lowered VW, how much clearance with ground do those headers provide? Also, will a muffler fit behind the rear apron? Thanks for your videos.

[@martinvaldepena48]

Thank you
