*The Autobahn Society in Braselton Ga did my conversion, Mark.* Our lower end is 2 liter ABA, the top end is a 1.8, and Digifant II runs the show. The original conversion, done back in 2002 was a TiiCo. Relying on a patented Seat Of Pants dyno, I feel the TiiCo pulled stronger between, say, 3,500 RPM up to red line, but when the TiiCo engine needed major work at around 90,000 miles I was not a happy camper and switched to a homegrown hybrid. Last time I was in the shop and a conversion was in progress, I noticed that the oddball oil pan you need is being fabbed up in house. George/ATL
