Subaru Engine Starts! - Busaru Engine Conversion Part 9

Fired right off. Nice. Check your throttle cable and ICV. Betting you need to loosen up the tension on the throttle cable to drop the idle a little. When its warmed up it should be idling quite a bit lower. Make sure all the clamps and hoses are tight and there are no vacuum leaks because obviously that will cause the engine to idle erratically as well.

[@Busaru]

Thanks Itoyz! Im always so stoked with your enthusiasm. How is your project coming along?

[@Itoyz79]

Going to prep the Subaru motor here shortly. Kinda taking it easy until I receive your Kit. I dont want to get stuck up the creek without a paddle. When should I expect availability ????

[@SUBDUB67]

Love the diagnostic tool, checked out the website, going to have look for that connector in mine. Any risks of cooking the ecu? Cheers JP

[@kieren3933]

Any problems with the cooling system

Hi mister, I have a question for you about exhaust system , did you eliminate the catalytic converter and the O2 sensor or you have put one catalytic converter and the O 2 sensor, can you tell me about it please I really appreciate, that than you.

[@loudluggageco]

can you do a exhaust tone video of the ford muffler you use on your conversions? thinking of running that muffler on my bus, ej22 single port obd2. I want something that sounds throaty but quiet, let me know! thanks brother.

[@Busaru]

+Loud Luggage Co. That's a good idea, I'll try and come up with something.

[@loudluggageco]

Nice! Cant wait. thanks!

What is the cost of one of these swap kits?

[@georgebourdeison1750]

your help.vw beetle with an ej22 1992 motor. i want to eliminate tha charcoal caniste ( the emission control law here does notr exist ).1.block off the throtle body tube vacuum tube(otherwise it will suck air) 2. connect the purge control valve( if not the ecu will throw a code error 35). so question is : the 2 small tubes on the purge control valve should i leave them open ? should i block off them or loop them? thanks in advance. george

[@Busaru]

+GEORGE BOURDEISON Hi George, I would just leave the purge control sol valve vacuum connections disconnected and follow the rest of your plan. I do this most of the time. Good luck!

[@skymac79]

Can you provide the dimensions for the crossmember?

[@Busaru]

+skymac79 it's approximately 46" wide - I have them available without the mounting ears welded on, maybe that could work for you. What project are you working on?

[@dc5000123]

Awesome video and great information

[@billybosse499]

4wd?

[@Busaru]

If only! VW never made a production 4x4 version of the bus.

[@parttroll1]

Nice series of videos and explained in a nice clear concise manner. You seem pretty unflappable laid back sort of guy. Wish I was 20 years younger I'd do this in a heartbeat

[@ryanchase9746]

If only I'd done more research before slotting in a crate VW motor. Garbage. Saving up for this.

[@georgebourdeison1750]

great work. have you check VWRX.com - Volkswagen Vanagons with Subaru WRX Turbo engines Subaru Select Monitor Scan Tool NEW: Source code now available under GNU General Public License! check it please and tell me.

[@Busaru]

George, thanks for the heads up - I'll definitely have to check that out. I'm assuming it will work with all OBD 2 Subarus through the Select Monitor interface?
