oddcomp Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 the wife had one those with the 2.0 air cooled mpfi motor woo weee a whopping 80 hp <i think> in a 3000 lb van didn't win any races but it held its own on the freeway the 3 speed <or was it 4> made it kinda wind out on the highway a bit hi for my tastes i really wanted to put a 1.8 turbo in it but we got rid of it i thought the side ducts would have been perfect for dual intercoolers run the blow off valve so it vented off somewhere outside and loudly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaroonDuneDoom Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 a friend of mine has an old chevy van, pretty nice, wth wrap-around couch, stereo, "DUBs", etc. surprisingly, it looks good with the 20" wheels. i always feel like the most baddassinest thug whenever i ride in it. put the seat back, way back, and pop in "slowride".

bushbasher Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 hey don't knock the 2.0l vans! My mom had a '78 transporter with the 2.0l mpfi hydraulic lifter motor, and it beat an mr2 on a straight stretch, and held its own in the twisties those vans look alot more ungainly than they are, all the weight is still down low, and they have stiff suspension. Id really be drooling over that van if it had synchro 4wd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted February 27, 2004 Author Share Posted February 27, 2004 yeah if it was a Synchro, I think it would be worth a LOT more though. I wouldn't mind it if it was a Synchro but I'd still pimp it even 2wd:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nug Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 C'mon guys, these vans are almost free now. That waterboxer engine is total crap. Find a good one with a blown engine and do the conversion yourselves. It's a good excuse to buy a welder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushbasher Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 my 2.0l wasnt a water boxer, it was the last and highest tech version of all the vw air cooled motors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbbs53 Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 The guy that puts 5 speeds in SVX's also sells the kit to install a SVX 6 cyl. into this set-up with the predictable results. A few cooling issues, burping the system, but the trans-axel handles it real well. I vote SVX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerFahrer Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 The hippie driver makes hissing sounds from hitting the bong, and the engine in back makes hissing sounds from hitting the boost!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 That'd be awesome. The best hippie ride would be an early-gen VW bus with with murals on the sides and a twin-turboed SVX engine. That would be psychadelic, man:cool: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
