I've had various subaru engines in my 73 bay but recently bought a trailersailer which weighs a tonne unloaded...i didn't think a turbo 4 cylinder
was the best towing engine

so the tach and water temp and others work nicely but the speedo is a whole new problem...works off this hall sensor which plugs into the gear
box...holden gearbox that is! no such plug on an 091...what to do?

and the answer is in the sky...satellites...gps...this thing is a gps driven unit which converts the position to thousands of pulses per minute and
interfaces with the electronic speedo...and its on its way from the good ole usa right now...go buick!

getting the gearing right with an engine transplant is important...and difficult...the commodore this engine comes from does 100k/hr at 2500rpm
so does my kombi now with these 265/70/16 rear tyres

Very happy with the way this thing goes...less than 2500rpm @ 100 kph on the highway but i'm more interested in its off highway capabilities so a
lower 1st gear would be desirable...enter the 094 five speed which is like the 4speed but with lower 1st gear...perfect!
pick it up soon and start sorting any fitting complications...heheh keeps my bay all vw...well apart from the cast iron lump in the engine bay!

trying to sort out the gearing i want ...there is a 5.43 R&P stock VW to fit the 094 five speed...this is very low so i would need a 0.7 fifth to
give me the highway speeds i want...question is where would i source that?

Hey mate.
Weddle have all the stuff you need.
They do a 5.50 Ring and pinion brand new for $95.
https://weddleindustries.com/products/1000158/1001938
I am planning to get one for my Bug and also for the bus. It will be getting a 5 speed too. Will be very interested to see how you do the mounts and
shift.
Also do all sorts of gear ratios for the 094 box. Down to a 0.7.
I'm fairly sure that gears listed as 4th gears can also be used as 5th gears in the 5 speed box. But not completely sure.
https://weddleindustries.com/products/1000154?field_transaxle_type_tid=1000358
Good to see those ring and pinions are still cheap. I might have to order some.
Smiley 
If you said I was a Volkswagen man, you'd be right.

a towtruck to get home...its the pipe from throttle body to MAF...new one on the way $43

I don't understand all this photobucket B.S. but life goes on and hopefully our forum. My Kombi is going great. A 3.8 ecotec V6 from a commodore VT
series two....I bought the complete registered car for $500 and stripped it. I used the complete engine and ECU and loom. Had a problem for a
while...the ECU was for and automatic...it always thought it was in park....weird it felt like there was two programs running at once...and there was!
Pulled the plug on the IACV and adjusted the (sealed dont touch) throttle body butterfly screw and bingo! runs like a dream and get better fuel
economy than my subaru engines!

I've had a radiator from a VN or so holden six for years but am upgrading to a new V8 three core copper one from the same area...modifying the box i
have it in slightly to make access easier....
also while i have the radiator out and fluid drained will be pulling the front beam to install adjusters...heheh...to adjust the height up!
2inches will level it with the back i reckon
Also been doing christmas shopping from america...over $3000 dollars in gearbox parts...will give me more confidence!
