This may have been discussed already but I could not find it. Does anybody know if his conversion can be done?
It has come up in a few threads but nobody has said ant more than suggested it as an option. With the increasing cost of fuel I think this may be a good option against LPG for my 2.1 stock engine.
Any thoughts?

Re: Suburu diesel boxer conversion!
if you can find the engine at a cheap enough price is the main stumbling block! there is some threads out there about doing it think there more yank ones tho!

Re: Suburu diesel boxer conversion!
There was one thread (maybe on Samba but i cant remember) where a guy had bought a brand new diesel boxer engine and was sticking it in his van. Not seen anything of it since but it was very intruiging.

I found an informative thread at http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewto ... on&start=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
As you read through it, it gets quite complicated and then RJ engineering inStaffordshire just make it sound so easy.
We'll see.
