Karmann Ghia Subaru Swap 

@wadesullivan6561 Thank you for your comment. It was my first video and not the best for sure! (You have to start somewhere). I drive my car every day in the summer and still love it. If you can do it for your own car one day, you will love it! Thanks again.

@@jeromemalinge4572 you did an awesome job with the video as well! I’d love to see one of you peeling out/fast accelerating! With that much hp you Gia must really fly!

Thank you. Got a vw bus this aummer... thinking about Tesla swap.... we will see. Thanks again!

that so depends on where you live- in the desert its easier to avoid intense body and frame restoration because there are more good solid examples sitting around.

@@jeromemalinge4572 you can get anything you want cheaper than a salvage tesla would cost- there's no point in doing that. great EV parts/conversion suppliers are popping up all the time. check with the guys at san diego westies in el cajon, ca.

Hi Adam I will try to make a video about the cooling system when things slow down...appreciate your comment! Thanks Adam.

Thanks! Good luck with your car!

a roadster would be fun

Hi Mark I dont think this video is gonna get 1M 🤣 ... but love your optimism!!! This video was just made to share with my nephews and parents in france... I'm not patient enough to edit videos Thanks Mark.

Hi Sebastien. I will in few weeks. I will show the temperature and set up. I was sceptical to install it behind the car but working good. Thanks.

Thanks Mick! When " la creme de la creme" replies, = big smile!

@@jeromemalinge4572 Oh man, quit pumpin' my tires! ;) You're making me want to take on a Ghia project, so cool!

Hi. Yes I know... I agree too...im not good at all with editing, videos....time... The funny thing is 2 friends were teasing me last night about it and wants to make a new video for me. So, I will tell them to rev the rpm for you!! 😀

@@jeromemalinge4572 Ha! I really enjoyed it though!!

Hi Roland, Bmw 2006 ( not sure what model, cheap but great...) . Electruc. Fit perfectly . Thanks roland.

EV? Are you crazy? What a waste of money and horrible for the environment. I have an electric pedal assist mountain bike that's less than 2.5 years old and it's already lost 30 percent of it's range. Imagine of it was a car what a waste it would be. If you want to save the planet and save money,then make it natural gas powered.

Hi, I did 100 mph once...car will go probably faster but it's not safe and rpm are high because of the original gear box. 65 70 mph is good. Thanks for watching.

It’s a bit scary at the top end

Hi About the music, you are right. It was my first video and the result is not good! But appreciate your comment. Thanks!

Really, the song is great for the first 3/4’s of the video.. I just wanted to hear the road test and that awesome Subaru motor run a little. Love the car though man.. keep coming back to it. 👍

@@jeromemalinge4572yea music is kinda gay…🤷🏿‍♂️😔

@@jeromemalinge4572but hey great job nonetheless lil buddy! 👍🏾

Hi Albert $350 for the subaru 1997. @$100 for fuel system. ( fuel pump and line...) $720 for flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, through out bearing and adapter plate. $590 for ecu including shipping. @$300 for cooling system. $10 for intake. $250 for exausht system. Mufler, welding, hardware... I did timing belt, seals, spark plugs... Around $200 of maintenance $200+ throttle body reverser. ( dont have a good welder... I spent almost $3000.00 It's so worth it! 99% of hardware is from the old subaru. The other stuff from leftover project around my house. If you can do it, go for it! It's fun, reliable and powerful. I'm trying to find a bus and will do exactly the same swap again.

@@jeromemalinge4572 you have more than that in just the labor (your time), but good on you- you get exactly what you want- right?

Hi Andy, 2mn30 and 3mn32 of the video you can see where... I installed radiator behind the car and built a huge scoop undertneath... and it's working good. Renault alpine 110 radiator. Good luck with your project. I think cool.

"Its cool"

@@jeromemalinge4572 That’s great that such a small rad works. I spent a good deal of time trying to calculate required rad size, and oddly enough I came up with approximately 1 square inch of rad area per hp, and a minimum of 1” ID for tubes to minimize head loss. The A110 rad is about 150 inches, looks like that’s working great for you. I’m going with about 250 inches of radiator, but I’ll be pushing about 220 hp.

Hi Andy I'm curious to see your porsche. The radiator a110 3 rows will be maybe too small but if its located in front of the car, could work. Anyway, I think you are definitely in the right track. You have more power too so you need something larger. Mine is the 2.2l. So you are right. 150 hp @ 150 sqinche. Keep me posted. Thanks.

Hi Mark You are so right!!!! I'm tired of the "purists" always complaining.... The truth is I still love the vw flat 4. It will take 4 hours to install the original engine back into it. I did cut one piece . That it. I drive it all the time and it's so smooth, fast and a/c is gonna be nice. Love your comment. Thank you.

so what? they worship fraudulent cars. i want to do a GM 3800 II swap into an old rwd datsun- no regrets. i don't give a damn what self-proclaimed 'purists' prefer..

Hi Martin, Renault alpine a310. It's small but 52mm thick with 2 electric fans. I was sceptical to install it behind the car...but works great. The scoop make a huge difference too... I will try to make a video soon just about the setup. 180 to 195 degree Driving. Go up at traffic lights but fans do the job. Thanks Martin.

Thanks for the update am working on a 1972 vw bus westy and a 1973 ghia do you have a part number for the radiator am out here in Glendale Arizona it's 110 so not sure if it will keep engine cool.

This radiator will stand vertical underneath the frame before the engine. You will get lot of cold air. I'm in boston so not has hot... I think the ghia can get a honda 3 row radiator in the front to be safe. You can remove the horn and make s small cut inside to two front vents. Perfect to keep engine cool. I'm french so got this radiator for nothing except shipping from a friend and didn't want to cut anything on my car. ( body is very nice...). But I think the ghia has the best potential to set up water cool. More maybe than a bus or bug. Thanks again martin. Would love to see your projects too. Jerome.

Hi subaru ej 2.2l from an impreza.

Thanks for sharing this article. Not cool... I've been thinking to install a ethanol kit and reprograming the ecu... Anyway, thanks again!

@@jeromemalinge4572 Problem is China, China told our EU politicians that they wont do any business with underdeveloped countries that still allow CO2 emitting traffic after 2030...I am sure the USA also will be forced by China to all electric because today no industrialized country can afford sanctions by China....:-(

fortunately this kind of idiocy will take decades to pull off in the states. We have hundreds of millions of gas cars here. To make them obsolete in any reasonable amount of time would completely bankrupt the country. By the time anything like that happens the engineers will figure out how to make 0 emissions by burning gas. Activist rarely produce or solve anything - engineers will always solve the problems like they have been doing throughout history.

Hi chayse I bought the mufler at oreilly. I think around $30. Not sure. It's very quiet at idling but good rumble when speed up... nothing crazy but great for me. Thanks. I will try to find the link.

@@jeromemalinge4572 cool, do you know what brand and model?

@@chaysegauthier9497 I will ask oreilly this weekend. I don't know the model. 1.5 inch outlet and inlet. Anyway, I will get back to you.

Very cool. You are so innovative.
