tjet Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
