Funnily enough, its actually a massive investment, seeming hes done a lot of investing in the other parts and he is just an enthusiast like most of us.. he's prob strapped for cash for the sump... give him half a chance... Tell you what, better than half a chance, those that actually want to buy the sump, pay him half the cash... (Maybe Richard could say how many "deposits" he needs to make them available??) that way he could prob have them made...

He's a close friend , he's just got loads of work . But i now half payment would get thing going. the looms take up a lot of his time.

Looks like a nice tidy install that spanner boy. Does the cone filter increase intake noise by much? Shame about the exhaust though, it does amaze me how some people spend a lot of money having their vans converted and then when it comes to the final part cut corners.

How much for the conversion, assuming I provide a used 2.2?

Been a carb man all my life fella,but this EFI system is very good and efficient and I dont have to constantly tune it. Well worth the agg wirig it up.Anyway there are pros out there who will do the hard bit for ya.

YOU MUST JOIN THE DARK SIDE.

Can you throw a pair of carbs on it and get rid of the EFI nonsense?? That'll ease things to no end.

You'll still need some sort of ECU to fire the sparks! The engine runs a wasted spark system fired from a crank trigger so there's no dizy.

Pepperami, that engine looks like it belongs in there! Unfortunately, to justify such an engine, I would have LPG fitted as well. If I had a WBX T3, I would definately go Scooby and definately use stainless steel coolant pipes running the full length of the car. But my slow yet reliable 2.0 Aircooled is fine. I may not be able to keep up with modern traffic, but most VW buses of yore never did - and you get to your destination calm & relaxed. Top speed is 70 mph. Sometimes I dream of Aircooled Porsche or Corvair six-cylinder, but in the end, an lpg'd 2.0 Aircooled is all one really needs.

A Scooby will go a fair bit faster than your 70mph but that's not the point, At 70 mph we are at about 3,000rpm and we wont grind to a halt faced with a slight incline. We can move about on a motorway in safety as we can swap lanes to overtake. Not only that they sound bloomin gorgeous.
