Well i know there more than on eof ya out there so where's al the stories and pics ??????
I'm in two minds about this or spending some pennies on efi for what i have got ?
Need help........................................
Try Vee Dub mechanical in Buderim, sunshine coast. talk to wayne, on 54454440. he's done heaps of conversions. just loves hi subaru powered kombi.
if you want a cheap conversion u cant do much better (in my opinion) then an ea81 1.8l subi engine. custom engine mounts, custom flywheel, adjuster plate on the bellhousing, engine, radiator and other goodies from the donor subi and u have a lightweight engine that sounds like a vw, fits like a vw and offers stock power of around 80hp with cheap n easy mods to get it upto 120hp. if u choose your donor car wisely u might even be able to adapt electric windows, aircon and other goodies from it!
im just about to do a conversion using a VN V6 commodore motor.
so far i dont have any pics as im trying to organise frieght of the motor!
cheers

Have a lok at mine at http://offroadvw.net/vwrx
It's not a good example for a 'budget' conversion but have a look still.
