    This thread has turned into THE Subaru reference thread here, thanks for your tips @pkrboo it's making mine a lot easier to plan!

    Got Nick to do it aswell, turned it around in 4 days! I didn't have the inclination to even attempt it!
     
  6. defo the right choice, he's spent the time to get the looms right and can knock them out quick. i think he has done well over 100 looms now!!

  7. Relief you're ok with that, started to feel like I've hijacked the thread but better all in one place
     
  8. Noted..:hattip:
     
  9. I missed a number, would #12 to #7 be right (and other side to #8 ?)

  10. my list
    Suby pipes - complete. This is a pictorial for a 2.0l normally aspirated 1994 engine.

    Outlets from the expansion bottle goes to the top and bottom rad hoses
    bottom of expansion tank to the return from rad hose(bottom) and the top of the expansion bottle to the top hose.

    1. return from rad
    2 output to heater but connects to little black pipe (which is ultimately at back #5)
    3. T into rad hose#1
    4. t into top rad hose #16
    5 & 6 heater flow to matrix
    7 and 8 to #12
    9 to 11
    10 to 19 STD Subaru hose
    11 to 9
    12 to 7 and other side to 8
    13 fuel in
    14 and 15 see next post by pkrboo. Can lose fuel filter and just use vw one
    16 output to rad with #4 tee into it.
    no 17
    18 same as rocker cover breathers fits to induction pipe/boot between throttle body and air flow meter
    19 to 10

  12. yes
     
  13. Thanks for you help. My list is complete so fingers xd if I get the hoses in time it'll be plumbed in soon :)
     
  14. Exhaust finalised today

    Just got to bleed it again now as I had to move the coolant pipe so the back box would fit.

    Loads quieter in tickover but nice and throaty when giving it some.[​IMG][​IMG]

    That’s not the one RJES sells is it?
     
  16. Exhaust? No rjes doesn't do an exhaust anymore. It's very similar to the fellows one though but modded to fit with my rjes engine bar
     
  17. If it happens to disappear from your bus - it wasn't me that stole it!
     
  18. After finishing it I rev'd the engine and it doesn't hit the engine mount. I will get on to Brett and sort out a group buy or final individual price
