info on type 3 engine conversions
Posted: Tue Dec 04, 2012 4:11 am
hey,
any of you guys got some handy pointers on which engine to put into a type 3 vw
ive seen that alot of people put ej22 subaru engines in them and not the turbo ej20t or ej25t. Is this because of the pure size of the engines or the fact that people usually try to keep the conversions cheap by using the original vw gearbox with adaptor plates and flywheels?
Does anyone know what is involved with sticking one of these turbo engines in the type 3? Is it simply too much work? can the subaru gearbox be used somehow to cut costs? Is a mid mount engine configuration an option?
some help in the right direction and information to my questions would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
