that's awesome!

:banana:

 

My dad has a Vanagon and when the motor blew I tried to get him to put an EJ25 in it.

But he didn't

 

dOOd...that thing must have some *****...

 

How does that not get extremely heat soaked. But aside from that it is awesome.

 

that's SICK!!! my dad and i thought about a ghia/EJ20 project...

 

We do Vanagon conversions at my work, but only EJ22's. There is a kit that includes an adapter for the tranny, and I think motor mounts. I'm not entirely sure though. The worst part of the conversion is wiring, there is a little bit of fabrication for cooling lines, and some other stuff. Exhaust, I think. They don't let me work on non-Subarus at work, so I don't know much about the conversion other than that the stock Vanagon motors were extremely unreliable, under powered, and liked to blow head gaskets. I think anything more powerful than an EJ22 in a Vanagon would be extremely frightening. We rebuilt an EG33 for a conversion, the owner of that VW is brave. Some cars just aren't meant to go fast. Like Lincoln Continentals.

 

LIC Motorsports is in the process of be building a EJ25 conversion Vanagon, as you all know Adam is known for his wiring on the EJ20 conversions. Call the shop if you have any questions.
