I had to delete 2 posts, because they were not engine conversions.
To clarify, this section is about engine conversions. These are when you put a water-cooled or non-vw air cooled engine into an air-cooled vw. It could even include putting a V8 in a golf.
So the purpose of this post is to list what people are doing (/done) what engine conversions. That way if you are also doing the same conversion and having a struggle, you might be able to contact one of these people for help.

My first post........
I'm in Perth and have a 76 kombi with a Toyota 18RU in the back and a HZ radiator on the roo bars. Doesn't look wonderful and it's not in the Suby or V6/8 class but it was there when I got it (although hardly going) and it purrs along and gets a few double-takes on the road (probably because of the rusty bodywork and roo-strike dents).
I've mostly had air-cooled VWs so the water thing is a bit of a novelty although I'm getting used to it.
Here's a question: it starts Ok when cold but when its hot it's just no go. Seems like it could be a case of vapour lock, maybe the carby (weber 32DG) is getting too hot. It needs a few pumps on the accelerator to get it going when it's cooled, although it will get going when bump-started hot. The fuel pump is new and I've put in a hot-start relay. The starter motor probably needs brushes and a new bushing in the bell housing and I'll get around to that (and the million other things). I thought about maybe getting a heat shield fabricated to try to cure the hot start problem. What are suitable materials/configurations for heat shields?

humpty ·
I assume the engine is in a good state of tune, so I will only comment on the vapor issue...You could be right about this.
First question..... Are you using a electric fuel pump or stock mechanical?
Second question..... Is the engine bay well ventlated? You might be getting a bit of
'heat-soak' when the car has been parked after a warm drive.
Third question..... Where are your fuel lines and filter? Make sure they are not close to any heat sources like engine block, exhaust, coolant lines.
And lastly..... Is the battery getting hot? Not good for starting a warm engine...
Best of luck...

Thanks for the suggestions.
Firstly, must check the tune......
The fuel pump is an aftermarket mechanical job. Engine bay not ventilated, must cut some holes in the engine lid or something similar. One section of the fuel line does run close to the rocker box cover. I'll think about replacing with a metal line, shielding and re-routing. Must check if the battery is getting hot..

Hi Aaron, good to see you on the forum. Your a bit of a cult hero you know.

An IRS and a big brake conversion will be first step.
I have another project, a 71 type 3 square back.
It will have new paint and 18's. I have a spare 13B turbo rotor that my girlfriend wants me to put it in for her.
this will have an auto.
As i have always done all my own fabrications, i'll do the adaptor plates, maifolds, brakes, ect.
This will definitely stir the enthusiasts, but i only do it to suit my own needs, $4HP.

Hey wes, sequential turbos are not so easy to set up, even on a dyno. Set up in a twin system it seems like the small turbo wants to blow through the big one.Baja Wes wrote:So what's the dyno have to say now? 😀quick camper wrote:That was me too! The triple rotary is now in and running, but have to fit a bigger radiator. :P
So trying different gating systems for three hours, decided to tune it with no boost.
Running N/A but with turbos restricting the flow, the 20B made 190HP @wheels (140kw)
This will get us down sth for xmas. A TA45 garratt is the plan for feb, this should see 450+hp from stock internals.

Ordered a modified loom + computer from offroad customs but that might take a week or two.
And the car will lose a lot of weight: the plexi+ 4 carbon fiber fenders, cf trunk+hood+running boards and a completely stripped interior

It has performance camshafts (I can also change the timing of those), flowed heads with larger valves, Dual Weber 40mm (maybe someday a DTA injection), lightened flywheel. It has +/- 200 bhp... (when it is build in and I can drive to school with it, I will post a dyno report, high school is fun!!!)
The only thing that is bothering me, is the radiator setup. I think I'll fit a large radiator under my bus and a small one in the aux. battery place...
I hope it 'll cool nicely, because the temperature will be a bit higher than a complete stock EJ20 with the higher compression ratio and the other performance parts...
This is a very nice forum! Wish I had one like these in my own language...
Are there any usefull links (except this forum and the shoptalk) for a Suby conversion in a T2 bus? Shoot!!🙂
Aircooled (just for now:P) greetz,
Humby

I am in tasmania and i own a 1969 1500 beetle with a ea82 turbo conversion. I have been building myself for the last two years. Keep wanting to do more. Alot of fun to drive. I have also lowered the car and put on a set of 19x8 inch BSA rims. EB falcon rear brake conversion. Haltech E6x Intercooler ( top mount). It is putting out around 120kw at the wheels.

Gotta love the old EA82T - cheap and easy and still pretty grunty !

I have finally started to make some progress with my conversion.
Im in the process of replacing my 2ltr manual from my 79 Bay with a Toyota, 4ltr, Quad Cam, 191Kw stock beast of an engine and slipping in a freshly recond and worked 89 3spd auto.
If any one is thinking of going back to stock my 2ltr(carb) and 091 4 spd manual are up for grabs.
I have decided to go auto because i dont enjoy driving the manual with its ratios. Also the torque converter is very forgiving on the autos.
I got my adaptor plate from Volks Conversions. Cheers John Sherman
I also want to jack it up for that Baja look, this is mainly to bring down the RPM on the highway, but has the added bonus of looking TOUGH!!
Will be running either a MicroTech LTX-8s, or Haltech E6X.
A full custom exhaust system will also be fitted out. There is no way i would ever keep the stock 1UZFE extractors. If you have seen them then you will know why.
And a nice big custom big air intake.
With the right tuning i could be getting over 220Kw at teh wheels. But considering i dont know exactly how strong the auto is i will be happy with 200Kw atw. Ill just have to see how she handles.
In the future(around 2 years) i would like to convert the fuel system over to gas.
If the gearbox holds out well(and the funds) id also consider a Supercharger.
Once the gearbox is back from CBB for rebuild, my bus will be in the Debiasi workshop getting the trans changed out and a cradle for the V8 made.
So i will have photos of what the engine looks like sitting very snuggly in the bay.

ok, heres some pics with the old engine. a 1776 with bits and peices. hated it. unreliable and unuseable torque. im goin to dress up the engine bay somewhat after the conversion, with some ali sheet bead-rolled around the edges like my dash. Pssibly with the same pinstriping. The doorcards are going too 😉
in this one you can see the removeable rear valance and scooped decklid (all metal). Valance removed due to the engines reliability!
and this is what i started with a year ago.....
ands here she is on crappy wheels!

Dub91,what engine conversion are you goihg to use?JVLRacing
dubber91 ·
i have a 13b injection engine from a 1988 RX7. I am making the adapter plates myself and have assisted a machineshop in removing the centre from a mazda flywheel and dressing it onto the VW flywheel starter ring and clutch. Im going to use a kennedy stage 2 clutch and make the clutch actuation hydraulic. Currently using a stock VW 1300 gearbox, but ill see what happens; torque kills gearboxes; not power. I have had a stainless exhaust system made up with 1/2 inch thick flanges exiting vertically down, and the muffler sitting behind the rear apron. The ECU will be stock, and i have machined up billet aluminium blanking plates to cover the holes left by steering pumps etc. I shall also be starting to make up adapter kits cheaply for anybody this side of the pond (the UK) and possibly for you guys down there. Let me know if anybodies interested.
any thoughts?

Well done.....Go to it!dubber91 wrote:yes but i'd be making them cheaper!:P:thumb
I'm sure you will have a market, if a small one.
There are a couple of rotor powered dubs here in Perth.
They go fairly well, but seems to be having some issues with transaxle reliabilty. Though that could be down to who built them and how they drive'm!
We've done a few Subi conversions and sofar, so good.
Good HP, very drivable, cheap to run and VERY quiet!
But I am getting old!!!
dubber91 ·
yeah i think the next conversion will be a bus box into the beetle. The ratios match the rotary better and the gearboxes are bullettproof. We can get a kit for around £40 (i dont know how many dollars) over here (without shafts) . Either that or i will go will a lighter duty clutch; the slip may assist the gearbox and prevent rash breakages. What you think?
Have you not had any transaxle issues running scooby?

Hiya,
Onto my 3rd Scooby conversion so far.
Already done an EJ22 into a custom Baywindow, Same EJ22 then put into a 67 Type 3 Fastback and now stripping down the fasty and turning it into a street/strip car with an EJ20T with a nice dose of laughing gas 😀
Best strip time so far was 15.04(no gas) in the fasty before breaking the 2nd gearbox in a week 🙁
The new improved fasty is gonna be kitted out with discs all round, 2L bus box, 6 point race spec cage and the turbo motor 😀

I didn't actually get around to pulling the waterboxer out until 2 weeks ago so the conversion itself won't take that long to do but it did take me a long time to start and meanwhile I'm missing out on those distractions

Make sure your fastback is going to get near 10's before spending the money on the roll cage. Otherwise it could be spent on more useful stuff.nn[ Edited on 16-9-2005 by fozee ]roadrunna wrote:Hiya,

Type2nut,
The reason I'm doing my kombi is for a surf wagon. I have the same problem as you great surf nearby and three kids.
What do you do 1. go surfing. 2. work on the surf wagon?
Test fitted the engine and gearbox last night (just mounted on the front GB mount with the engine blocked up) Will start the crossmember build on the weekend. Got my plans approved by my Engineer on Tuesday.

71EJVAN,
sadly, since I started this 4 weeks ago I have not surfed.
The Syncro is my wifes daily driver and whilst she is happy to drive the '65 (converted) split screen panel around town, she is taking the kids on a home schooling camp to the Flinders Ranges in mid October so I am hoping to get it done for her to take then.
She will be away for a week - I will have the van done - bring on the surf!

Hey All,
Soon I'll begin an engine swap on my '75 Aktiv Snow Trac. It currently has a Type 1 VW 1600cc industrial engine and I'll swap it out for a Subaru EJ22 SOHC. I'd like a bit more power and in-cab HEAT!
I'll keep the original vw transaxle (until I break it!) and buy an adapter plate from KEP or Outback. I'm looking into various ECU's right now but kind of like the Link EMS series.
see the Snow Trac here:

Hi all,
I have a toyota 4AGE 1.6 twin cam that I have turboed
with a T28 garrett, in a 1968 sunroof beetle.
check my post elsewhere on the forum for more details.
It turned out to be a really nice conversion in terms of refinment and performance.
Toyota engine are excellent and reliable and somewhat
over looked. Maybe people are fixated on a boxer layout above all else??

Alot of work for not a lot of gain, hope you will be happy with the results. What engine have you got, the 110hp 2 carb or the 150 hp 4 carb. I have driven a few of these conversions and would personally stay vw. Instead of all the rotation change in direction stuff for your engine, the cars I drove usually just flipped the crown wheel over for a reverse running tranny.
drumma82 ·
Its not to hard at all, my mates corvair vw did wheel stands, I like the torque, and will still keep my other vdub.All up the whole conversion will owe me about 300 bucks. I have the 110 twin carb because the torque/rev is better. You can flip the ring gear but its not strong enough and you cant do anything too wild. cheers

Cant complain about 300 bucks, go for it, wheelstands are FUN

Just another subaru convertion, this one is for my brother.
78 with factory aircon, 2L efi and auto.
This will have a EJ20 forester engine with a microtech + 4 coils.
I have already rebuilt the auto, so will be hassel free.

Well I better put in here I guess, I have a type 3 TL fasty, had no Donk, bought a 1600 to put in was missing parts, bought the parts needed to put back together, saw a thread on V6 conversions, and now am going for the V6 conversion with a VN V6 3.8 Ltr, am picking it up on Wednesday, If you want to see were Im roughly at check out the Post "Salutations" under the Type 3 Forum, My second Fibreglass mould is almost complete for the air intakes on the rear quarts and have just built a portable wooden sand blast booth so I can REALLY clean the front suspension and other bits and pieces, can fit up to 15" rims in with no tyre obviously. I bought the air sand blaster set up from super cheap's and am in the process of making a catchment setup under neath the booth so I can filter and re-use the blasting grit. LOTS of Rust to repair especially in the front bay and the front pillars just inside the wheel arch, rusted through to the interior, Inside of car is stripped, ready for Roll Cage, and Fibreglass mouldings. Was gonna Chop the roof and lower but thought better of it. All in all Alot of work but man am I enjoying every single little bit of it, especially all the custom bits i have to engineer to get the jobs done with out paying BIG $$$$$$ at panel beaters and mechanics and the like. Will post pics in here soon. Keep on Dubbing!

Purchased a Joyner Trooper last year, nothing but engine and mechanical problems, so short of setting it on fire when the last disaster happened, the drive shaft universal let go and put the shaft through the oil pan, I tore the entire power and drive train out and am now fitting the buggy with a type 1 tranny and 1725 air-cooled. I figured since VW is the first choice for buggies dating back over 45 years now, why not power and drive it with what started it all and has proved to be very sucessful.
Anyone else that may of done this please email me and and let me know how your conversion turned out.

Body style: Slammed Resto Cal Rat

Full resto on the cards...VERY early days so far.
Has anyone used duel rads either side of the engine bay using splitty vents?
I'm planning on lowering the bus so I don't want to sling it under the belly.

Some reader sof the Non VW conversions will recall ym Tweety the trike. Original engien a 1916cc twin carbs (type 3 auto) that I had no end of trouble with the engine. Then an ea81 conversion weber carb. Silly me- should have gone eJ20. On a dyno the auto zaps 14 hp out of the engine and towing a 500 kgm van it wasnt the best. So a SC12 supercharger was fitted draw thru at 5psi 135mm crank pulley 110mm driven pulley. It now has all the low down power I wanted but at great cost to economy. Running all the time it gets 19mpg light foot or heavy foot. (throttle that is)
So have purchased a SPFI system (ea82 bolt on) ex USA and have a Subie friend that will help me fit it. Once set up this should see me get good mpg. And if I feel inclined will refit the sC12 supercharger in a blow thru set up with on/off switch. I also have a free EA81 for reco that will be fully recoed early next year for the whole project to be finalised.
And here is the trike when pre supercharger
