Hello everyone,
I am new to the list and I am having =
a good time
with all the information that flows so freely...maybe too =
freely.
Anyway, I =
am the
proud owner of a '91 Carat that now has a toasted wasserboxer. I =
am in the
process of researching how to fix it and I would like your input. =
Here are
some of the things I am considering:
- The Eurospec sport 2.0 in-line 4cyl GTI
conversion
- The Subaru legacy conversion
- Anything I haven't heard of yet
Please tell me your thoughts on these. I want =
more power
and I want to get away from the head gasket issue. My inclination =
is to
stay with a VW engine but I am also a cheapskate. My other =
constraint is
that my technical expertise and available time is limited at best so I =
would
like to find a good mechanic to install it.
Has anyone done the Eurospec conversion? How =
about a
VR6?
I am leaving for Germany on Sunday and in two weeks =
I am going to tour the T4 plant in Hannover where =
they make
the Eurovan. My German friend used to work there so I am hoping to =
talk to
some people there about conversions. Maybe I'll come home with a =
new VR6
in my suitcase!
Any info you may have would be helpful.
Thanks,
Alan
