See I haven't posted my my finished bus up on here because I'd have to gather all the information into one place at one time, and if any knows me then they know thats pretty impossible, so I haven't started yet. I really ought to get it done though.

Lovely looking bus there though Kev how does it run and is the cooling adequate?

"Hello" is a normal introduction, but you're obviously itching to go and forgotten your manners. I'll let you off.

Welcome Matt

Go to the "Subaru Power" section. Read the stickies first.

Kev's rad was set up wrong, blew the heat up, not down.

We've spent time saying what you need for a conversion and where to get the bits from. It's also a sticky in "Subaru Power"

Exhaust - make your own or pay someone to make one. Kev's posh setup was a bit bobbins as it used the ports from one side of the motor into the box, separate box for the other side. RJES makes a "balanced" box. This isn't equal length though. I made mine from stock Subaru headers and "Jetex" bits

Where would you like to stick the rad(s)? *shrug*:
Front, roof, vented ducts, underslung? But FFS don't put them in the back or the "ears"

Wiring....s'up to you. DIY or sub it out.

Please use the search button, read the stickies. Research, ask - then buy us cookies/beers
