HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

Well, my brother has recently purchesed a VW Vanagon Syncro and the stock output is very weak, and headgaskets are very common to leak on them. So, with a little research my brother has found alot of people are doing Normal Subaru 4cyl/6cyl swaps.

And now heres the plan..

hey man, find out about that fuel pump if it will work on my car, and if it will I'll buy it, engine comes on friday.

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

Hey its really simple!Call the dealer and ask the parts department if they are the same.That way you are certain it will fit and we wont have anny beef ;D

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

BTW that is a half cut and the gas tank is on the other half. there is no fuel pump on taht car as it sits.

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

i just wanna know how in the hell did you get a hold of a turboed impreza engine :o.

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

A jap engine in a german van?!?!?! :o Weird ----, I know you can put any engine in any car with enough work but I never would have thought of that one. Good luck and keep us updated, I can't wait to see this. This is even worse than the guy I know with the RX7 TT motor in a MGB.

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

lets see a pic of the van it self :)

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

Be sure to tell me when your gonna be working on it so I can come over drink.

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

I know a guys who drives a vanagon with a Subie 2.5 and another guy with the real badass- a westfalia Diesel swapped out for 1.8 8v with Weber and header. The Diesel ones had an inline four that is tilted VERY far toward the driver's side which bolts up the same as a 1.8 8v so in stead of a waterboxer they have a 1.8 that can ------' powerbrake up a storm.

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

That is so wrong... and yet so right. ;D

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

Rice.. lol

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

Here's a picture of the van:
http://naboo.homemadeturbo.com/wrx/westy1.jpg
It's a full camper! With stove, fridge, sink, and sleeps four. Yes it's 4 wheel drive, although that's not a very common option.

Currently the van has a 90hp waterboxer. It's going to be replaced with a 95' WRX STi waterboxer that puts out 271hp stock (JDM).

After the engine swap is complete, oversized 4 wheel disc brakes and alloy wheels come next.....

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

wwooooowwww :P

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

sleeper van, anyone? you are sick, I would seriously recommend therapy. Lots of therapy... ;)

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

you're gonna twist the frame in half!!! is it gonna be AWD or RWD? i know it's AWD now but just asking.

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

all I have to say is.... wow

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

Hey Freerock,you guys can use that pop up camper as a parachute to slow that bitch down at the track :o

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

just curious, but why would you do that.

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

take those corners easy that thing will roll faster than a fat kid on fire

wow that was dumb

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

Why are we all here? we all want to make our rides faster and learn about things on the way. The Westy is in deep need of some HP. I think the swap is going to go well, especially since we have the front clip. The Van is a Syncro, meaning AWD. The goal is to have a "Relible, stock like, engine that can lay down some power"

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

i used to think my wagon was cool. a stove and fridge! i need one.

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

how much does that beast weigh with a fridge full of beer and all that other stuff?

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

lol, :D .... how much does it way? lol ;D

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

LOL

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

NIIIIICE!!!!

Re:HMT's Latest Project... Longterm ;)
 

With all that weight that it's carrying around 90 hp wouldn't cut it though.
A 271 hp engine would let it go up the mountain roads... ;D
