Hi,

I have just bought a Van Neismann Bisch 7 berth motorhome based on a 1982 Volkswagen LT with a 2.4 litre 6 cylinder running gear.

I want to upgrade it to a Turbo Engine, so wonder if this is a viable option, and if so who does the conversions, and what costs are involved.

All the info is here, although dispersed. So try the search function.

Basically you have one engine mount to move/replace, you require the one of the donar vehicle. This is due to the placement of the turbo.

You also have some plumbing to sort out - although really not to sure what?

There might be an issue with the oil and temp sensors.

But it has been done so the info is out there!

Other than that I think it's fairly straight forward - well dependant on you compitance. I say this although I still have my donar engine sat under a tarp Embarrassed

People have been fitting TD volvo lumps as they are very similar. Although this route requires then swapping over a few bits from you lump.

Yeah, be careful who you choose and, if you can, go by word of mouth, I learnt the hard way with my conversion.
