2.1 WBX Auto to what?

Post by poshbuggers »

Anyone know what engines could be fitted to my auto box?

I really want to keep it so any suggestions welcome....

'90 Syncro Hightop. Ex-BUPA/Rowan ambulance with 2.0L GTI power and some curious windows.

GoWesty 2.4 WBX - 4 year or 48,000mile warrantee and 180lbft of torque. No questions, no worn out parts, just effectively a brand new WBX on steroids.

Still Syncro, just much fasterer

You might be able to use a Subaru engine with the auto box... I guess the Flat six from the SVX would be nicest.
I'm sure that with the Kennedy or other adaptor plate and a Subaru auto plate, it would work.

The Subaru EJ22 or EJ25 are used a lot with auto boxes in the States.

... and quite a few of them seem to get the shift points changed too.
