2021年2月25日 · TIL: These were the peak of Subaru 4-cyl 660cc 'KEI' class engines. This one in particular, with the Clover 4 and Super Charger EMPI were the top of the line. So if you were to engine swap (if another would fit) you might want to sell the old motor to a Subaru nerd.

2023年3月16日 · I've owned a sambar in Canada. I'm a subie fan boy. Get ANY other kei truck/van. Other than sharing a body with a justy (swear its the same chassis just backwards) Parts are a nightmare to find. No lift kits no commonality of parts with other trucks. They rear mounted the motors as opposed to mid mount.

The 4 cyl, supercharger, slightly bigger fuel tank, and slightly higher top speed is why I picked the Sambar. I want to get a van too but I gotta finish paying off the truck first 😅 Reply reply

So I might still ride with a backup ecoflow river for simple mobile electronics. The kei van’s alternator doesn’t produce enough power to reliably charge a standard LiFePO4 battery setup and updated electronics going from the early 90’s to 2020s like a snazzy head unit, LED lights, speaker system, and maintain starter battery, etc.

2024年3月14日 · Subaru Sambar engine swap If anyone has questions about chassis dimensions, now is the time. Finally starting a project I've been planning for a few years, swapping a k24 Honda engine into my 94 Sambar.

2022年8月21日 · 1996 Subaru Sambar Van. One last photo before it gets shipped to me this week. The old owner sent me a picture of it next to one of his planes in the hangar where he stores it. This gives you an idea of just how small it is.

2023年11月2日 · the Subaru sambar can take elevation. I've seen a few Youtubers in Colorado and Yosemite drive it with no problem. At top speeds of 55-60 of course lol. It might be a dumb idea but its been my dream car for 5 years now haha. Ill let you know how it goes!

2022年3月20日 · 2005 Suzuki Carry - 5 speed, 657cc RWD (Went for the lightest version I could). Toyo v02e light commercial city tyres on stock wheels (145/80 R12).

As for performance, there isn’t a significant difference as the horsepower and torque are more or less the same. The Subaru has a 4 cylinder engine with a shorter stroke. It revs higher, but the peak of its power band is lower, so it struggles to maintain speed up hills or when loaded. The 4WD system in a Subaru is probably better.

Picked up this Subaru Sambar 4wd van. Slowest Subaru I've owned. But the best. r/subaru. r/subaru.
