There's a lot of talk of the Subaru engine kits, Buick V6 and the Porsche motors. With patetiance, us vanagon owners will soon be able stick in three new awsome motors. My first choice would be the new 1.9 liter TDI, with a wopping 115 HP and around 160 of torque, second, the new VR5 (narrow 15 degree 5 cylinder) around 160 HP, and the 1.8 turbo (currently used on the new Passats and Audi's) 150 HP. Soon there will be a recked one that will find its way into a vanagon, hopefully mine. Michael M. 87 syncro. |
