Hey guys,

I suspect this has been discussed in other forums but since mine is a SA T3,i would like some specific pointers relevant to the SA Vans. I have a 1991 SA van,currently with the original 2.5L Audi engine. Though i converted this engine to EFI(mine came with the CIS)with an aftermarket EMS, sometime down the line, i plan to install an Audi 2.8L V6 engine,ACK code. This engine is rated at about 193HP and should be plenty enough to push the heavy gal around.

I need to know the following:

  • Does this V6 engine bolt straight up and hang as it should on the S.A bell housing that i have?
  • Can the gearbox handle the added power and torque without blowing up? I don't plan to do any racing and i should drive it like a sane person should
  • Some say the engine is tall, but as the rear hatch on the SA vans is already raised, will it adequately accomodate it or will i need to raise it some more? how much taller is it over the 5 cylinder.
  • Exhaust routing options, i would love to see how those have done this install have routed them

Cheers

MONK

The guys are knowledgeable about T3 in general, and will probably be able to help with your request.
ping Stuart (Syncromad).
