kevin, i saw several turbo rabbit 1.6's on auto-trader.com, don't know
if you were interested in going that route, but I met an individual from
Vancouver, who had done this and also intercooled his and put highway
gears in his tranny. according to the numbers i've found at a couple of
websites, this is good for 90hp....??? i am interested in doing this w/ a
diesel myself, i just haven't purchased my dream van yet. he said that
he had worked w/ scott foss, who has been mentioned on this board
multiple times.

I have to do a heart transplant into my 82 dsl camper van.
Unfortunately, I dont have the jack to do a slick conversion, so I
guess 47 hp is all I get.  Ah well, just keep to the right lane,
crank up the Dead bootleg CD, and enjoy the scenery...

So, anybody have a running, decent condition, not too many miles 1.6
L dsl engine?
