hi,
I need the wisdom of somebody with far more knowledge than my own.
I am looking for anybody that can offer words of wisdom or advice with enginering standards for doing a subaru motor conversion into a beetle. I need TECH know-how.
So if your in Sydney and up for a cuppa or coldie and a chat I would love to meet you.
Cheers

I know of one conversion happening at the moment out Hoxton Park Road way. Well advanced. Where are you? I had been going this way for the Speedster so I have done some research.

Check out the buy/sell section, MR930 is selling all the stuff you need for that EJ20T conversion.....$2500, thats a great deal. I'd buy that sucker but the twin cam will do for the moment.

I live in the area to this " twin turb subi" project and if its the one I'm thinking of, the Green Beetle that it came off looked great. .. I guess it just wasnt fast enough for Him.
