Are there new fuel injection/exhaust mods that I must make or is it an easy swap? I highly recommend upgrading to the 2.1L. The difference in power is significant. My previous van, an 85GL with a 1.9L would struggle up a long hill on a highway when I had it loaded up with my family. My 90 GL just flies right up. I can even stay in the left lane! Having the weight of a Westy, you could use the power all the more. Of course, you could even consider getting rid of the waterboxer altogether and swap in an inline 4 or 5 cyl. I've read that the 2.1L easily replaces the 1.9L. The fuel injection system from the 1.9L is used. You would need the 2.1L exhaust. Paul Kirsch 90GL |
