Now if you were really cool, hip and happening, you would put a Tesla Model S drivetrain under the rear of the VW Bus, and build out a box that fits under the whole floor to hold the batteries.


It would accelerate SHOCKINGLY well!

Yes, because *everyone* on this site is here to look "really cool, hip, and happening", right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

It's almost like the newer westy's.

In the event this project does not come together I'll be there with my truck to take that 2.7 off your hands :-D

Zach,

I think it would be really cool. I have nothing to offer from advice but it’s really cool

Ah! So you are the one that bought that motor. Probably did me a favor, if it sat around much longer it might have wound up in my 914.

I could not turn it down. Though it had put the build of my bus on its nose somewhat.

I have no advice, other than it will be super cool when finished.

You'll need an oil tank and cooler, but if you make your own lines it shouldn't be terrible.

If you want another option, check with NoRustScott about his Subi-van....it's silly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


I'm an advocate of putting Subi's into busses. Have been for years.
But I want this bus to stay aircooled.

Ever heard of the Porsche T3 B32? Me neither. Seven built for support Porsche's 959 Dakar Rally efforts.

If we are talking Vanagons, there was also the VW/Oettinger 3.2 flat 6 WBX motor.

Basically a 2.1 WBX with 2 extra cylinders

I was on the fence, but in no hurry to dive into something like that atm with all the other projects I have going on. The car it would have gone in is currently cut to bits at PMB getting rust repair done AND I just bought a new set of Tangerine headers for it that would never get installed if I change direction on the motor. Plus with the current motor being ~130-140ish hp, not sure if I would have felt it was all worth it in the end only gaining ~30-40hp as it sits. The idea of going though a motor that clean to upgrade it almost seemed wasteful... I mean that thing looked almost brand new.

Maybe someday, 2.7 is my motor of choice for a 914.

Glad it found a good home.

Yah, like Zach….I bought a 3.0 liter with no destination in mind.
Once I rebuild it…the idea will come to me.

@mepstein Found an MSDS Vanagon ('80-92) 3.2L kit pic: 4wd/Syncro and 2wd d-i-y kits were offered.
I shipped the last kit off in '01 to a client in BC,Canada.
Never mfg the earlier bus kits (not intererchangeable)...but this pic illustrates the major components made to fit the Vanagon platform.
Not in pic; KEP clutch disc, flywheel, optional components ;
P/S kit, Fr oil cooler + T'stat kit, 2 or 4 tip muffler styles, front brush guard, oil tank rock shield, front winch (Ramsey) mount plate. Very clean install and No high spots in the rear cargo/cushion area.

Let's go for a ride in the dirt...in the dry-bed flood control basin over at Legg Lake, South El Monte, CA.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Those were cool, and any of those Oettinger engines are cool (the one pictured and the 16v conversions for gti/‘Rocco back in the day.
