Re: doin a little maintnence on the motor
a little history: i dont own the van, the van is owned by a guy i know who had a bad motor in his volkswagen westfalia vanagon. im doing it for a little side job and to learn more about engine swaps. so far achieving both goals.
I personally drive a 2004 Dodge Ram Quad Cab Long Bed Cummins Turbo Diesel 5.9L, measures right at alsmot 22' with the grill guard on the front and makes around 420-430rwhp, so naturally i wanted to put a diesel in the van - too expensive. then we decided to go with a subaru, mainly because of its boxer design for ease of install, and ended up choosing the 3.3LSVX motor. i wasnt a fan but it has slowly grown on me. its drop-in potential is huge since its so small compared to a V motor. now if it was turbo charged i think id sell my truck and build a car with a turbo 3.3L, but i havnt found a lot of information on turbo-ing the motor.
