January 31, 200620 yr I saw pics of one that was done by a company specializing in Subaru VW swaps. Looked siiiiiiiick. Maybe try a google search...
January 31, 200620 yr Has anyone swaped a 2.0 turbo out of a WRX in a Vanagon yet? www.vwrx.com - Kevin installed a very nice WRX STi from Japan, major work and it is awesome! Great website too. I watched the whole build up last summer, it is a dream car for me know. http://www.vwvortex.com/artman/publish/article_757.shtml Eric's very clean WRX Vanagon S, this thing is very unique in that it was the first manual transmission conversion I know of anywhere. He also has taken it to the drag strip to compete, and has had it on a dyno to prove his HP and torque. :cool: He had to relocate the slave cylinder to fit the Turbo in there, very nice work. I believe he sold this Van to someone else in the PNW, not sure though. There are more and more people taking interest in the Vanagon, and it's potential with a modern powerplant. I think these conversion will help others in finding more HP and reliability. Cheers! Andy
January 31, 200620 yr Author Nice rides!! I would like to see in motion pics of both the S on the road. And the Syncro off-road!
February 3, 200620 yr I cropped the video down of Eric Didier's Vanagon-S drag race. You can view it at: http://vanagonproject.page.us/Vanagon_race-1.mpg
