1300cc in kombi?
Hey everyone, some people might think that i have lost my mind but i have been thinking about replacing the 2Ltr motor in my 77 baywindow kombi with a
1300 from a bug. I used to have a bug with a 1300 and it used hardly any fuel but the 2Ltr in my bus loves the stuff. I dont mind having a really slow
car, but was wondering if the weight of a late bay bus would be to much for the little motor? Would the motor mount up to the 2Ltr box? if not i have
a 1600 kombi box i could use.
Any advice would be great!
Thanks,
Alex.

Too slow! my friend has a splitty with a 1300. I drove it a couple of times and when I got back into my oval I thought she was supercharged!

Don't do it man. The 1300 won't last long at all pushing all that weight. If you're not happy with fuel consumption can I suggest either putting a
good EFI setup on ya 2 litre or changing over to an EJ22 subaru. Alternatvely, you could get a golf diesel engine (I think it would go well with the 2
litre gearbox ratios), but don't put a 1300 in it. The car is already struggling to push itself along with a 2 litre, you'll be an accident waiting
to happen with a 1300.

Furthermore, you might not find that fuel usage changes that much. The engine will be working much harder than it was in a bug, and doing a certain
speed, well, the physics of air drag on a rather bluff-bodied object remain the same regardless of engine.
I heard of a splitty with a diesel golf engine. I like the diesel principle: if anyone has knowledge on this I'd love to hear about it (perhaps in
another thread to avoid hijacking :P).
Cheers, Aurel.
