Vanagon 2.0 Turbo

 

Subaru WRX engine into a Vanagon Carat 227HP four cam, 16 valve turbocharged four cylinder boxer engine

The Installation

Want to have your cake and eat it too? Above is the WRX engine installed in the Vanagon engine bay. The intercooler is the latest air to water model. Everything works on this installation; cruise control, air conditioning as well as all power assist features.

The exhaust system we designed to look like a stock Vanagon's but in 2 1/4" tubing with a free flowing Magnaflow muffler. It doesn't sound like a Vanagon any more.

This Vanagon is fitted with Porsche alloy wheels and our disc brake upgrade front and rear. It now stops and turns as well as it accelerates.

A pair of Forester seats were installed to compliment the Vanagon interior.

White gauge faces with 8,000 rpm tachometer finish out the interior package.
