New person with ER27 / Syncro project

Featured Replies

Hello. I'm planning out a ER27 engine swap project. It will go in a 1987 VW 4wd Syncro. I'm budgeting an SDS EFI system for it as well. 

I attached a pic of my van.

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum. 

My advice: don’t. 

You’re putting a quite rare engine into your van. Parts will be hard to get! Reliability - I can’t say much about that with no experience with these engines, but if they leak oil like the EA82 that they’re based from, expect oil marks left after you park up everytime. 

I’d recommend dropping an EJ22 in place. Or go a H6 for more power (and fuel use). 

The EJ series engine is well supported and it’s a solid engine that’s Uber reliable. 

At the end of the day it’s your call. The EJ is done and dusted time and time again - a proven conversion. 

Cheers 

Bennie

Hey, thanks for your input. 

I started another threat for that.
