Subaru Conversions
Our main goal has been the quality of the conversion. We strive to keep things as clean and simple as possible. We want the conversion to be very easy to live with. For instance we make our oil pans so you can check the oil through the license plate, not unloading all that stuff from the back of your van. We keep parts like hoses and cables stock parts so you can easily have your van repaired in the event of a problem down the road. We use only the best possible parts available at the time of the conversion.
All of our conversions feature ceramic coated exhaust systems. All syncros have the skid plate modified and remounted with no loss in ground clearance. We use a mandrel bent stainless steel pipe for the radiator return hose to eliminate lots of rubber hose. We install a large heat shield to protect the motor mounts and the timing cover from the exhaust heat. We relocate the entire air intake system from the right side of the van and modify it to work with the Subaru intake system on the left side of the van. We retain the syncro dirt trap. Current cost for a 2.2 conversion is $6,500.00 plus the cost of the engine. This includes everything except the A/C.
Here is what is included:
We remove the stock engine, coolant hose, wiring harness etc. We install the engine with a reversed coolant manifold self bleeding coolant system. The ECU is mounted in the factory location in the modified VW ECU housing. We build a wiring harness that uses the stock VW boot where the harness passes through the firewall. We reverse the wiring harness on the engine to make the wiring much cleaner. The following new parts are included in the conversion cost. All new exhaust system and oxygen sensor. H&R motors oil pan and all cooling system parts including hoses clamps etc. All new belts, oil, oil filter, coolant, spark plugs, nuts and bolts. New air filter housing and filter. New adapter kit and motor mounts. New speed sensor and power steering hoses. All other parts required for a turnkey conversion are supplied with only the following exceptions; clutch, auto transmission oil cooler, and A/C conversion. As for the motor we will no longer install used engines unless supplied by the owner and as such not guaranteed by us. We offer a complete rebuilt 2.2 engine for $2,400.00. The engine is completely rebuilt from valve cover to valve cover. All replacement parts are OEM. This also includes all new timing belt and idlers as well as a new water pump and thermostat. All 2.2 conversions are California smog legal and come with CARB certification.
