A few drawbacks to subaru. Classic head gasket issues. Then there is replacements. Parts and engines can be hard to find due to subarus popularity. Honda k swap all day.

Mine is doing the opposite only at idle but at the top side, it is a 3.5 V6 so I'm not sure what to do here

Perfect job mate. I need to learn from you and please advise about the radiator cap. Thanks

This is truly an awesome job. So meticulously done. Well done and congrats. Just one question. I can’t seem to see the radiator work and radiator cap. Could you show me please. Thanks

Your spun dude! Your brother got more sense than you man he told you its fucked even though u got it back together it might last a little while this is a shit econo box car man get rid of this vw shit, get a better car man

Fhese cars were never meant to drive like that they are not mercedes they are Volkswagen a shit econo box car never forget that

The problem is you need to figure out the cause of it which is oil starved bearing you need to solve that or you will get another spun bearing in very short time, these cars were never meant to run like that

3.6?

Would to process be the same for a 2007? I live in a small town with very little mechanic’s a lot of them are saying you need a tool to align it so they don’t take the job

Hey bro Hope you guys are doing great ... I am in the middle of swapping a S3 8p 4 cyl engine for a r30 turbo engine I' did all the mechanic stuff (cranck rods Pistons valves ) I also fabricated the manifolds myself ... Thing is I need to know if I will be able to run a small turbo with stock Injectors and fuel rail for now I just need like 400 HP please if you have any information you opinion really matters since I saw your first r30 explained like 3 yrs ago you're the only one who like took the time to make it proper bro❤

Great video! Taking it to the mechanic 😂 that’s too much work 😂😂😂😊

At 115k miles, how did your old belt look like? Did it appear you could drive it more?

Rocky Mountain Westy wanted for their adapter kit, starting at $4500, which was cost prohibitive. I ended up buying and towing back a wrecked but running vanagon that had already been converted to Subaru 2.5 and transferred everything over for less than half the adapters alone, including converting to power steering.

just what i needed, thank you!

Awesome DIY video! Thanks for the help on fixing my 1990! eBay has these replacement motors for 20 bucks. Door Lock Actuator For 1993-2003 Volkswagen EuroVan 1986-91 Vanagon Front DLA971.

installed new chains and guides, also 264/260 cams now I'm getting codes P0011 and P0014 cam timing over advanced. NO correlation codes. have you ever heard that the small amount that the cams can move even with the plate in make a difference?

You will have rust on the underside of that pin hole. You need to completely inspect and address the backside. To prevent future problems, considering the likelihood of internal rust, plan to undercoat inside that door using Corrosion Free 3000 out of Ontario which is mineral oil based and very easily creeps vertically and wont harm paint or clear. I applied this product twice a year in salty upstate NY and it completely halted door bottom rust from 2017 until i sold it Jan 2023.

What injectors are you running? Can’t find anything big enough to run e85

How many miles have you put on your converted Subaru transaxle since you've made this video?

Would I be able to remove the long barb that sits in the tank with the filters? I feel like I would get more out of my tank no?

very helpful thx!

Thanks a million. Great work

Solid video man thanks for the how to

Great video mate cheers

Great dyi brother much appreciated

Instead of lifting the engine, you can unbolt the dog bone mount then rotate the engine by pulling on the pan.

Those the godspeed control arms?

Question bearing is lose after changing. Does that mean crank is shot.

Hey I’m in the middle of a timing chain job and I aligned the crank to tdc and then removed all the timing chains and components, then I realized the cams were 180 degrees off so I needed to spin the motor over again. So I put back the timing chains and tensioners, but didn’t put the bolt in the sprockets for the shaft so the sprocket fell off when I was spinning the motor, so then I unbolted the cams to spin the motor over safely, does position of the shaft matter? Basically what I’m getting at is can you safely spin the shaft as much as you want when everything is disconnected and then just line up the arrow on the sprocket when you put everything back?

That wasnt spun. That was just minor knock.

i think you just made the fastest vanagon in the world

You’re r30 build explanation Doesn’t make sense order for it to be considered a R30 you have the Increase cylinders similar size which the perfect engine, for that would be the 2.9 vr6 You putting 2.8 Crank and pistons in a R32 block you’re still Making an R32 you Said it, yourself 3.2 an what is that the 3.2, da 3.2 is litres that Is created by cylinder size of 84 using 2.8 pistons oversize, piston rings to fit the cylinder Which you still have a 3.2 L reduce the pistons in the block does not reduce the litre size And therefore you still have a 3.2l Although, it will be a Frankenstein R32 And especially where you were saying that all, but most parts are interchangeable only way to truly get a VR6 3l Is Through a 2.8 or 2.9 being the best engine? To create what your speaking of even if you put the R32 head on a 3rd Gem 1998 2.8l vr6 you still get a 2.8l Which both 24 valve engines, 2.8 24v & R32 are da 3rd gen and 4th gen vr’s were both launched from the same platform, the same vehicle, which was the mk4 golf The first of da 24 valve head You still got a 2.8l VR6 Frankenstein Which you would get a better flow from the head r32 so to cut a long story short putting 2.8 components into an r32 block. You still got an R32 Or in Laymans terms You still have a 3.2 L third-generation, VR6 with a , that’s it Love the UK

I thought that you were supposed to put the 2.8 rods in the 3.2 to turn it into a r30

How long did it last? I'm about to run this repair on my Turbo MR2... haha.

How mutch did you pay for the 2.3

Thanks for sharing brotha!! Perfect Vid!

Ik im like 4 years late but for the ignition coil all you did was cut piwer and put the red and orange in replace of the purple correct.

Aye man I have the EXACT same knock, only at 2-3k rpms like yall said. My rod bearing went bad for sure (ran out of oil.) is there any way you guys could help me? Wouldn’t mind tipping you guys some money in exchange, just don’t have anyone to guide me on my speed3 🙏

Cool conversation! Suggestion, please try to use a different adjective other than "super".

thank you bro no tool needed your the man

i would take one of those 1/2 inch ratchets with the grooves cut into the handle and tap them into the surface of the rod and cap for taking up any cleaance. There is a procedure to fit the bearing tight and that includes some super metal mix to apply under the rod bearing. That can bring ti back to original without removing any more.

Do you still run a head spacer with a 2.8 crank in a 3.2?

no idea if you still check your comments, if u do, i need help fitting in the actual control arm, the ball joint doesn’t fit in at all

Did you guys use the same connecting rod

You got an old truck and don’t like the bumps suck it up. Great work though.

Wonderful video, your metalwork & TIG work are exceptional. After 2yrs I trust your banged nose is now all fine. Thanks for sharing your video & skills!

Hi. I have a question for you. Do you want to take a vacation and come to Poland? I have a VW T3 syncro car and I would like you to help me install a Subaru engine in it. Of course, I cover the travel costs. I have a separate apartment for you as well as a workshop room with a car lift. I need a specialist like you. Salary to be determined. Best regards, Andrzej Mordarski

How did you wire up the flex fuel sensor? EMU black pinout shows one wire for flex fuel in. I’m assuming other two wires are power and ground right?

.05 mm is .002 " good clearance

Your doomed. It will fail again quickly
