Subject:Engine Conversion Eurospec vs. nonEurospec

Hello,

I recently had the engine converted in my 85 Vanagon with the Eurospec 2.0
conversion kit. I am insanely curious if other conversions packages have the
same problems.

Namely:

1)seeminly incurable electrical problems.

2)incredilbly loud droning at about 3900 RPM.

3)Intermitant hesitations/rough idle.

Though it appears that most conversions use the same main parts such as
mounts and plumbing, other items such as wiring harness and exhaust system
are completely different.

With this info, I can go back to the installer and Eurospec and point out
that other conversions with a certain type of exhaust, for example, don't
emit a deafening drone a freeway speeds.

If you have had a conversion, please reply and let me know made the
conversion and if you have had ANY problems.

Thanks in advance.

Kevin
