EJ22 into WBX 2.1 - what bits do I need?
About to put an EJ22 into my 90 T3 Auto
Anyone give me a list of parts I need to grab from the donor. I am gonna hook the air back up, so EJ has the air on it still.
Just wanna make sure I grab the essential parts.
Cheers

The engine complete, ECU (computer), wiring loom complete, ignition module, relays on wiring loom (2 I think), Air cond pump, two rubber hoses that
leave the air cond pump, engine mounts (round type are preferable as they fit with more sumps), exhaust system header pipes, air flow meter (should be
on engine anyway)

Your bus is an auto so will need some auto tickling to make it work with the EJ.... EZ to sort that out if it is.... I have attached the info.... You
will need to mod the shift cam (governer) in the side of the box and you should add an external trans cooler too.... The OEM water box item is not up
to the task....

Hi
There is some useful information here http://www.vwrx.com/ The water 2 trans oil cooler
is bad idea on any car, a failure sees the trans filling with coolant. If its the same as an Audi I had, I just bought some nipples and fittings from
a hydraulic supplies shop to replace the banjo bolts on the trans and then run some hoses to a trans cooler at the front of the car.

Changing the shift on the auto is really not necessary, just for those who like to rev the tits off their engine. I have the stock 010 auto in my bay
(same as yours without the external cooler). There is an accelerator cable to the auto kickdown lever in the bay, then a mechanical linkage to the
carbs. I simply done away with the mechanical linkage, and made a short accel cable which goes from the kickdown lever to the throttle body. job done.
Still kicks down quite well.
Agree external air to trans fluid cooler is a good idea though.

Your not running a WBX Auto in your bay are you Col?.... You have the OG TII auto don't you?.... The T25/3 Auto is an entirely different animal...
And besides.... Not everyone wants to be a granny driver like you! :kiss.... Some peeps like to actually let their engines do as they were designed to
and rev.... 3200 rpm shifts are pointless with the EJ engine.... the power is higher in the rev range... Besides... These mods can be achieved in a
weekend..... (says the guy who still hasn't finished his SVX conversion!!)... Hahaha!

If he didn't like dumb shit questions, we would never have got our first conversation past "Hello". I s'pose if you went pre-armed with a bit of
research he would have something to work with.
Tell him I said hello

I didn't ask about issues with the auto before, so now I know there may be an issue then it's all good. There will be a solution. If he can keep
that 400hp monster cool, then mine won't be a drama. Just at the point where I go collect the motor ... so wanna make sure I'm prepared for the work
ahead (not that I do any of course).
Looking forward to my '07 project. Hows yer new donk David? Happening thing yet?

If your gonna go to the trouble of fitting up the Subi donk, the mods to the trans to make it survive are but a small part of the conversion..... Once
you have a Subi powered VW, you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner....
