WELL HOPE YOU HAVE A LARGE WALLET :msn4: its cost us 3k in bits with used case and allready had p and bs.this is ""full race"1900ccs for the drag beep.worth giving stateside tuning a ring .we got all our bits from him and he is very helpfull with advice (but he wont suffer fools so be warned )you need to be realistic about what you can afford against reliability,you wont want to be rebuilding twice a year cos bits have worn ect.also budget for gearbox cos a stock one wont cut it!!!!thought about a type 4 engine ,stateside specalise in these 2.6litre :shock: or just get scooby motor 300+ponies cheaper £/horsepower.

Yes thought about cost and thought about subaru engine i did fancy a twin turbo subaru but have not seen one or even know what the fitting would be like in the van... still considering my options i looked on american sites for engine comp costs but they are not that much diff from uk .......I am open to ideas

 

[bambam]

here we go just been offered a 3.3 litre subaru complete car running with 4th gear problem my question is will it fit its the 6 cylider non turbo :lol: :lol: any ideas on gearbox

there was a t3(t25)at vanfest running one ,no more info though.

 

[bambam]

i will look on a t3 web site and see if any of the square drivers have posted any pictures

Thank you for putting me right

 

[Nelly]

It'll fit if you want it to ;-)
Or if you go for a turbo go 2lt sti not twin turbo rubbish that is a nightmare to get sorted, check out my thread but whatever way you go you'l need a big budget

If you are going scoob it may be worth speaking to these guys. I've not dealt with them, but was considering this route a little while ago.

I'm going for a 2.2 Subaru nothing flash just to make my bus more usable

 

[Nelly]

You say nothing flash but an early ej22 has 133 bhp and a late one 140 odd ;-)

 

[Tristan71]

I went for the 2.2 for the torque and reliability and still good mpg

 

[bambam]

If i am correct the subaru 3.3l is around 250 bhp that should liven the old beast up a bit i am going to see the motor thurs to get the engine measurements etc

 

[Tristan71]

Did you speak to the guys rjes also Tsr engine conversions they both have different ways of doing it

dont forget you will want to pretty much double your budget if you want to be able to stop that lump without the aid of a wall. :msn4:

 

[Nelly]

It will fit a guy on vwkd is fitting the 3.3 to his bay using all rjes parts ;-)

 

[Tristan71]

Totally rite with the stopping !!!

 

[bambam]

hay great web site link i will give them a call when i get a mo . the site should make the conversion easier as for stopping the thing ha ha I laugh at danger :lol: :lol: :lol:
