If you've got the 4 cylinder diesel I believe it was the same unit as a Golf so not surprising it is a bit underpowered.
Here is a link to a German company specialising in conversions.
http://www.syncro-bernd-jaeger.de/ENGLISH/TDI-Umbau/body_tdi-umbau.html
Where are you based. If you are in Australia a Subaru conversion is likely to be a good option.

Most South African Syncros ran a VW Golf turbo diesel. 1.6 or 1.9 unsure?
As for the conversion to another engine of the same family VW Vanagon/Transporter/T25/T3, there are no major mods needed the only thing that you may
have to look into is the mounting of Gearbox bell housing to Clutch/Engine.
I am pretty sure that all Vanagons Syncros have the same mounting hardware. The only difference being the computer of different years.
Here are a bunch of links hope they are of some assistance.

http://www.vanagon.com/syncros/
http://www.benplace.com/vw2.htm
http://www.club80-90syncro.co.uk/Syncro_website/Events/Syncropendence_Report.htm
All of the above links will throw more light on things for U. Give U more answers..
Have a look around these sites and u will have a definitive answer.
My answer is YES so long as it is from the same family...
And make sure U own a Vanagon Workshop Manual...
Keep the steering and the propulsion seperate . Still a Kombi...
It's all good, until it's bad, i suppose

Hi downthere;
thnx a lot IWISH, im pretty sure all of this info is gonna supply me of enough information.
Indeed about the change i agree with u so long as the engine its from the same family, here in spain we got the SEAT's,a pretty cheap national cars
with engines provided by Wv that should fit.
well i'll tell u all something as soon as i get more conclusions about my idea.
well, so far all uor tips are bein' very useful for me, we could say im still a beginner in all this westy world so far as i bought it last summer in
July.
be fine everyone ciao

When i say same family
I mean only the T3 / T25 / Vanagon / Wasserboxer, Transporter, Caravelle, Syncro Variants
A SEAT, as i have one in my Garage is a totally different type of motor, which will not produce enough Torque.
IT will REV high, but Rev's V's Torque are a totally different issue.
If u plan on using any other type of motor other the above mentioned you will have to do alot of modifications so as to make it fit and match the
SYNCRO drive train.
Keep the steering and the propulsion seperate . Still a Kombi...
It's all good, until it's bad, i suppose

Hi aussies,
well after a while with out breaking any new, i only have to say the information IWISH gave me it's been really useful. Exactly the torque is some
diferent beetween seat and Vw, so i've already ordered an old engine from a caravelle that should be ready pretty soon. I've been doing some
guessing and some mechanics have told me the change is perfectly possible so there we go, i'll tell u all when i try again the experiment.
greetings all around, ciao.
