Commodore V6 pistons
I just read in Wheels Magazine that the new Commodre 3.6 V6 has a 85.6 stroke and a 94 bore.
Do you think Stan Pobjoy will do a steroid version? LOL

Ok, but this is trusting my memory. I'm pretty sure some of this will still be around on the web too.
The car was built in the early 90's I think, in the UK for Autocrossing. It is a T4 block, with custom barrels and the 16valve quadcam subaru EJ20T
heads (they would be Liberty / Legacy RS Turbo vintage), a big T4 turbo and injection, with the porsche fan and shroud. I believe it made around the
400hp mark.
As well as the motor, the bug also had a 4WD conversion. I believe it was pretty successful in the Autocross scene.
The heads are an interesting conversion. I believe (although I dont know) that the EA82 single cam heads are also 92 bores ? possibly not. I have no
idea of the bore spacing, although surely if the heads are on it must be fairly close ? Cant imaging moving combustion chambers in the heads sideways
to suit the pistons position on the crank. I do think that they had to weld up some / all of the original head stud holes and drill new ones to suit,
also they had to put a 'plate' on the bottom of the heads to seal the water chambers, as they kept the water cooling on the heads (a 'la Porsche le
mans cars).
I'll so a little trawling and try and find the web site.

I actually looked into using commodore v6 aftermarket forged pistons for my race motor as they are the only other motor apart from pinto ford motors
that use a 96.5 ish bore and I wanted an oversize 96.7 so I could reuse my autocraft cylinders. Ended up finding some JE's made for VW at the right
price so I scrapped the plan. |

You are very welcome. I dont suppose anyone reading this would have eiither a subaru head they could measure the bore spacings on, or a subaru
technical manual ?

Pete - wow ! that SAE paper is unreal. I have scaled off the head gasket drawing and the bore spacing come out roughly 109mm. Keep in mind I am
scaling from a picture that is only 2 inches wide !
Now, this compares with about 112mm for a VW type 1 head (no idea for a type 4 - can anyone help out ?), so the two must be fairly close !!!!!
A bottom plate for the coolant to circulate through would be very easy. other issues to solve would then include;
Oil supply and return.
Rmoval of lifters from vw block.
Plugging up pushrod tube holes.
Inlet and exhausts and plumbing (cannibalise the subaru ones ?)
Cam drives, belts and tensioners.
Clearance in car for heads.
Sealing vw cylinders on to Subaru heads (although in the article they said they used jawa liners and porsche fins I think).
Anyone got a pair of old EJ20 or EJ22 heads they no longer want ? :thumb

twin cam heads
I didn't hink there'd that much difference in them. From what I know about the earlier subie engines, there almost direct ripoffs of the VW only
with water jackets.
As far as fitting the twin cam heads goes, I'm astounded someone is offering some sort of kit by now. I thought about it ages ago. With the new alloy
type one cases the sky is the limit power wise.
Maybe you could come up with a kit. I am sure off road guys would lap it up and the drag scene is just waiting for something like it I reckon.
I'd be interested. even in a NA application it would transform a type1 motor. Just imagine. Not only that, but there is a variable cam timing version
available on the NA ej20. Instant v-tech VW!!! :thumb

4 cam sounds good, but you'd need to take it one step further I reckon or else use and EJ22 and lap up (pardon the pun) the cooling advantages of
water as well. The 911 head conversion was done first time 30+ years ago that I know of, which is still 2 valve but single OHC and twin plug crossflow
hemi combustion chamber. The next step would be something like solenoid actuated valves, big money to develop, but then again so is an air cooled 4
valve DOHC head (the 356 quad cam motor was only 2 valve, contrary to common belief). I think when looking at that much development I'd just forget
about a beetle and do something like what speedster 356 did with his spyder or step into something completely different, Porsches, Nissans, BMW's,
etc... Or even open wheeled hillclimb specials.

quad cam heads
there are some advantages.
Like if the class you race in specifies the same manufacturer for the engine (block) you use, like some of the club rally classes, the subie twin cam
head trick is equivalent to some of the special twin cam head setups available for 2l pinto blocks in MK2 escorts.
However for most everything else the whole ej20 is probably the way to go.

Thanks for the info Doug. I have seen pics of this motor before, but not
heard many details about it.
To me, something similar to that motor would be a dream come true; an air-cooled VW motor utilising some of the best modern technology available to
keep up with the Jones's :thumb

I actually didnt read the whole SAE paper until today - the true bore spacing is 113mm, compared to 112mm for VW !!!!!!!!!!
I think some form of adaptor plate to 1. Contain the cooling water and 2. Adapt to the VW cylinder sealing method. would be needed. The thickness of
this plate would have to be carefully controlled - enough to be rigid enough to seal against water pressure, but thin enough not to decrease
compression ratio massively. Although (to an extent) you could counter any compression ratio decrease by shortening the cylinder (how close does the
piston come to the top of the cylinder at TDC ?) or using short stroker pistons (ie B pistons).
You would have to run an external oil feed to each head - this could be done by using an external cooler and full flow filter, and taking a feed off
from this line. Also, the oil flow from each head could be gravity drained from the head through a line and into the sump via a pushrod tube hole. The
other three on each side could be plugged somehow.
