When I put a 93 subie 2.2 in my 87 vanagon the mileage went up about 1 mpg
& I could merge like a real car. That 130hp fit the vanagon well.

When I put a subie 2.2 in my 84 westy the mileage went up, I could still
merge like a real car but on long hills (going to eastern WA) I had to
downshift to keep it at the speed limit.

The subie 2.2 was great in the vanagon!

Hey Gang,

Been a few years since I’ve posted! I’ve been toying with selling my 85
Vanagon for a while but recently decided to go ahead with the Subaru engine
conversion so I’ve got some questions for those of you who’ve done it. . .

The biggie is - what’s the gas mileage like?

And for those of you in Washington State - have you had any issues with
licensing or registering your Vanagon with a Subaru engine? Is there
anything special I should consider or know about?

Thanks!
