The following parts may be necesary to finish your conversion but are not included in the conversion kit. Please give the following a read to determine what additional parts you may need.
Transmission Coolers: We reccomend upgrading the factory VW automatic tranmission cooler after upgrading to a higher power Subaru engine. We offer two automatic transmissions cooler kits. Automatic Transmission Cooler Kit - is a basic kit that offers some improvement over the stock cooler. Transmission Cooler Supreme is our advanced kit that uses forced air to keep your transmission as cool as possible.
Stainless Steel Coolant Pipes: Early watercooled Vanagons (pre-1986) came with metal coolant pipes that run from the egnine to the radiator. Over time these pipes rust and should be replaced. If yours are in good shape then no need to replace. Late Vanagons (post-1985) came with plastic coolant pipes that almost always fail. These plastic pipes must be replaced.
Coolant Expansion Bottle: We offer a plastic coolant expansion bottle and an aluminum version. The plastic bottles have a reputation for leaking over time and the caps tend to fail. Because of that we highly reccomend going with our aluminum expansion bottle. Click the link and check out all it's handy features like the sight glass and bleeding valve.
Stainless Steel Exhaust with Metallic Catalytic Converter (Two Oxygen Sensor Ports): This exhaust kit takes care of your exhaust after the headers that are included in the conversion kit. You'll recieve everything you need to finish your exhaust system. Click the link for more details.
Power Steering Pressure Hose: You'll need a power steering hose in order to connect the Subaru power steering pump to the Vanagon power steering lines. The quiet hose is offered as the Subaru power steering pump tends to be louder than the origonal Vanagon pump.
Tachometer Faceplate Upgrade: Once you have modified your tach signal to work with your Vanagon tachometer you will need to update the faceplate in order to get an accurate reading. We have 7K and 8K faceplates available in black and white.
Wiring Harness Modification: Small Car Performance provides multiple options for your Subaru to Vanagon harness.
- Small Car Performance Manufactured Harness: This is a brand new harness that will work for 2006 to 2012 drive by wire motors. Click the link for more details.
- Complete Wiring Harness Modification: We'll modify your harness for you. This option is for you if you have the donor vehicle bulkhead harness. Click the link for more information then fill out the form below if you'd like to proceed.
- DIY Harness Modification Kit: We offer this kit for those that wish to modify their Subaru harness themselves. You'll recieve complete instructions to create a harness that connects right into your converted Vanagon.
Alternator Harness: The alternator harness is a separate harness that you'll need if you do not have the origonal harness from the Subaru. This is a brand new harness that is sure to last.
