I've got a handful of parts left from my turbo 6 conversion, and someone local to me has expressed interest in my remaining parts.
We're looking at his options for his Westy and I came across this ad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=100194 in the classifieds. Larry appears to be a reputable seller, so now that we've found the 6 for a good deal from a reputable seller; we're wondering what all is involved in putting it in his Westy/VW camper. His other option is picking up my remaining parts and getting a Raby kit. We really don't need to discuss that here, though. Jake is awesome enough to answer questions on his forums. And I'm heading there next. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (edit: found a link and am keeping it here for place to take notes http://pagetuner.com/vanagon/ ) So, a six in a Westy, how do we do it? |

Thank you for all of the input.
It will definitely be smog legal. He's got an old-school VW Westie; it looks to be 70's. I'll have to find out what year it is. It's one of those that has the similar engine to the 914. This list seems to cover all of the input so-far. engine mount Oil Cooler and Lines Oil Tank Clutch/flywheel Engine Tin Trans adaptor? (Will it bolt to the same transaxle as a T4? the 901?) Computer (It appears that it is included with that particular ad) Wiring harness adaptor/ custom wiring Flywheel sensor Throttle Linkage Exhaust Fuel Supply There is probably a less expensive way to get more hp. =o) If someone else buys the 3.2 from Larry to put in a 914, I guess that would make this decision a lot easier. lol |
