After two years and lots of "fun", I'm finally wrapping up my 90 Westfalia conversion. It is an I4 conversion, using an audi 2 litre block and jetta management. This list has been indispensable as a reference in dealing with issues as they arose. Alistar Bell's website and Frank Grunthaler's collection of posts stand out as particulary helpful in my project. Thanks for your efforts. I've tried to provide some of the details that I had trouble digging up during my conversion as well as advice for the person contemplating the same path. There are sections on all aspects of the conversion including before/after/ongoing performance testing, and air fuel tuning. I've added some video to the site in the exhaust section with more to come. This week's project will be modifying the transmission shift points and then doing performance testing to compare. I'll post some video of this. Enjoy, and let me know what you think. The site: |
