Subaru EJ20 in 82 T25

Post by skiron »

Hi, just about to put a na EJ20 in my VW. I was on here a while back and a jolly nice chap had taken a load of pictures of how he did his. Anyone have a link for this or similar. Most of it is straight forward. The difficulties i can only see at present are running the coolant system under the van. As my van was a 2.0 cu air cooled. I will be posting some pics of this. Any help or advice most appreciated. :ok

I'm about to do the same myself - in fact I took the waterboxer out today. Mine should be a bit easier as radiator, plumbing already present. :)
Hope to be starting a photo journal - first post probably tomorrow. Good luck with yours!

Cheers. I take it your getting all the gear from RJES or have you found anyone else. I have spoken to RJES who were really helpful. The quick shift kit that Aidan Talbot and Bear racing do looks worth fitting while i have the box out aswell.

RJES have me booked in for doing the loom in early Jan so i wont be finished for a while. No rush as i have a mountain of other things to do on the van. rebuilding brake system this week. Everything on van is requiring replacement.

Yes, using RJES bits. My loom is booked in for mid-December, but I'm considering doing it myself if I'm ready for it much earlier than that - depends how the rest of the work goes.
