How to use a JDM Motor in your VW Bay Window Bus Subaru Conversion | Parts + What You Need to Know!

I agree with Phil. My hubby has rebuilt our Webber Spirit twice. No sense in spending all that money for nothing. We appreciate your Philosophy. 😅

Right on - totally agree, and thank you! :D

Nice details and sequential presentation.

do a conversion for an FB20D (2018-current), so keen for some modern engines :)

Finishing up my diy 03 ej25 swap now, what do you guys choose to wire the neutral switch wire from an automatic Subaru ecu to a manual bus?

[@themodernbayco]

Nice work!! If your donor was an auto, you should ground the neutral wire. You should also ground the wire that kicks the ECM into Manual mode; I may be wrong off the top of my head here, but I think it's B135 Pin 25. It's next to the neutral wire, bottom of B135 connector, anyhow. Good luck with it and cheers!!

I was looking at the engine you had there on the stand. I didn't see any of the PCV vent line hooked into your custom intake manifold. How are these vented? Just to atmosphere or???

[@themodernbayco]

We essentially emulate the PCV system the way it was from factory - plumbing it into our custom intake. Although people do vent to atmosphere or put a small breather filter on it, it's definitely the best for the motor to have a functional PCV system!!
