Excellent, thank you. Other than larger diameter on the flange is everything else the same? |
Yes. Something I have recently found out haven't yet confirmed is that Vanagon stubs are the same as the Bay and at one time 930 stubs were offered for Vanagon. |

I just found this on another thread
Burley Motorsports can make (weld) Bus stub axles for 930 CV's if you send him a set of stock stubs to build from. They're not listed on his site but he said they'd be no problem when I emailed him last year. I'm looking into it so I can have 108MM CV's all around for consistency -- currently have 108mm inner CV's and 100mm outer CV's on stock Bus axles. Needed 108's to match Passat transaxle output flange; it's not ideal but gets the job done for now and has for a couple of years now.
I will keep digging for more info. I can't believe we are the only ones looking for this solution. |
found this one also, several users said they sent them the old stubs and they got welded up to work with 930's. https://averysaircooled.com |
I have seen both of those also as well as a third company that will weld them up. But there are 2 -3 companies I think may offer 930 Bay stubs. so i will call and find out. |

Great job finding these, so the stub shafts are the same for bay windows? |
Looks that way. I haven't been able to fully confirm it but I've seen a couple listings that say so.
I put my name to be notified once those axles are back in stock. |

I was poking around their website and the stock stub axles fit all the way to 1991 vanagons from 68. Looks like these are winners. Since they are out of stock I wonder if someone else carries them now that we know it fits. |
yea I haven't found anything yet.... |

never had a need to monitor either to be honest, and although i haven't looked specifically for the specs, i never have come across any data in the service information.

| For those of you who have already done a Subaru swap, what temps do you recommend for both trans and engine oil? I need to order the auto temp switches. |
I've never monitored water & oil temps simultaneously but I would think normal operating range would be around 190 - 210 degrees. I don't remember any temps being stated on the Subie swaps I read about. I'm not using a Subie engine in my swap. Guys on a Subie forum would know. |

Regarding the transmission oil temps, not sure. I have an 010 automatic from a Vanagon and just added a 24" aluminum finned oil cooler with a thermo unit that opens to the cooler when the oil temp gets to 180F. I don't have a temp sensor in that system but I can touch the cooling fins without burning my hand so I believe it is working well.
Regarding engine oil temps, most aftermarket oil coolers come with a 180F on sensor so I would guess that is the target temp but I'm not 100% sure.
For the coolant system, I've read on the Subaru forums that the thermostat starts to open around 170F and is fully open around 180-185F. Normal operating temps are between 180-210F. The stock Subaru fans usually come on around 205-210F but I feel that is too high for comfort so I wired in a 200F on and 185F off sensor and it's connected at the outlet of my belly rad.
I used a 180F on sensor during the summer but it didn't come on until around 195F and it worked well but it stopped working in Dec and I ordered and installed a new one. I don't have an air scoop underneath so limited forced air going through but the fan only comes on when driving at hwy speeds. I have aftermarket sensors on the inlet and outlet of the rad and monitor the engine temp via an OBD2 sensor and Torque app on my phone.
I have a Subaru Forester too as my daily driver and it holds between 180-190F all year round.

| Since it's later in the day & I'm more awake then when I answered previously, I would have said that tranny fluid is cooled through the radiator so I would think that temps would run about the same all around. |

That will look pretty agressive. That’s nice!
Go for the tow hook. Not sure for the spare on front, a rear swing out tire carier looks awesome!
