Good nose, lol.

Man, that engine is huge compared to the common vee dub engines. Well looks like it.

Is that ur conversion? If so, nice stuff mate :)

Looks like that buggy is gonna really fly.

Hi Brad,

How long till its on the road? Interested in any performance specs you can gather ... economy, 0-100, 0-100 with a load - no I'm not really interested in drag racing one, its just an easy measure of power :)

When you have some pics of the radiator solution I would love to see em.

My boat is looking more an more like a subbie engine every time I walk past it :thumb

cheers

I have a Kombi with an EJ22 fitted.The Manx had a fresh 1916 Pobjoy injected engine in it.The Kombi went better and used less fuel...and was a lot cheaper,hence the Manx will now have an EJ22.......:kiss

Would be keen to see how this goes. Might consider the swap in my baja.

Brad, what are you using to support the engine from underneath it?
Or are you just holding it using the bellhousing like subaru boxer is?

Completely off topic but here ya go

Thats sounds cool Mick ... hopefully Brad can give something a bit more concrete. I know its going to be better, 40hp to over 100hp is the giveaway :thumb:thumb:thumb

Just interested in how much better

MickH - June 13th, 2005 at 10:50 AM

The Pobjoy was dynod at 102HP at the wheels.Like i said the Kombi went better with the EJ than the buggy with the Pobjoy!!!

The buggy will have a date with the dyno when i get it back.I will post dyno sheet with the EJ22 motor when i get it done.

Brad - June 13th, 2005 at 04:39 PM

the engine will have a rear cross member on the custom rear cage connected to the custom roll cage connected to the custom floor pan ready to be given hell by the made driver ...:beer
