Part 12- VW Bus with Subaru Engine- wiring and FIRST FIRE UP

[@matta5534]

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!🎉✌️

[@WolfofWisco]

Thanks Matt!

[@busbits]

You've done such a great job documenting the build. BIG THANK YOU for this!

[@WolfofWisco]

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

​@@WolfofWiscoafter watching this series I am inspired to repeat the project.

Great job, Woifie!

[@WolfofWisco]

Thanks Keith! Soon to be ripping around the St Croix valley :)

Way to go wolf! Dam right! That was a lot of work! I can’t wait to see it on the road.

[@WolfofWisco]

Thanks Jed! I’m working out some bugs and will post the first drive in the next video!

Hey, it's a rare sighting of Mr Kooooooooozman

[@WolfofWisco]

I’ll need him back for some accessory wiring ! Lol

[@quicknickel3085]

Great progress! Love it! I'm going through my harness now. It's a big project. You make it look easy.

[@WolfofWisco]

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

[@dprovini]

Nice work. I’m running the same engine in my 85 vanagon. Great engine choice.👍

[@WolfofWisco]

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.

Noice! 👍😎 STOC

[@felixaudet5860]

Nice project. Just wondering if you've considered a VW TDI engine instead? Wouls have been awesome for MPG.

[@WolfofWisco]

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.

[@timothymarshall2722]

Where did you find the code killer for the transmission control module?

[@WolfofWisco]

I had Steve Lopez of Low PEZ customs out of Texas do my wire harness modifications and he added the code killer.

[@timothymarshall2722]

Thank you

[@timothymarshall2722]

Do you have the link to their website I can't seem to find them.

[@WolfofWisco]

@@timothymarshall2722 low PEZ conversions. Search that. VW subaru

[@TheWorkshop-hd3me]

Great! Fuel tank in the standard location?

[@WolfofWisco]

Yes- standard fuel tank and gravity feed outlet that feeds the external fuel pump

[@thundermite1241]

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?

[@WolfofWisco]

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

[@vipercrazy-9]

Do you have the part number for the belt you used? I also need one without power steering.

[@quicknickel3085]

Napa belt NBH 25050275. Alternator to crank pulley w/o power steering. Works on my Subaru 2.5 engine.

[@WolfofWisco]

I used belt Dayco 5050273/ 5PK0690

[@brianhunt9568]

Who did your wiring harness conversion?

[@WolfofWisco]

Low PEZ conversions in Texas. Google . Around $500-600
