Subject:SA 5 cyl Overland conversion-anyone do it?
From:Brian Butler
Date:Sat, 24 Jan 2004 11:52:57 -0800

I have been entertaining conversion options, and the 5
cylinder conversion offered by Overland/Eurospec is
the latest to catch my eye. I was wondering if anyone
out there has done it yet?
This conversion seems to make a lot of sense since it
comes with a brand new motor, the motor is
German(Audi) and it sounds like a fairly easy bolt-in
without the wiring harness time involved with a subie
conversion.
I am considering installing it in myself but will take
it to a shop if it is a little scary.
Has anyone driven both a subie (2.2 or 2.5) conversion
AND the SA 5 cyl and might be able to provide insight
on how they compare? (Please only reply to this
question if you actually have. Please do not reply if
you think you might know how they might brive, but you
haven't actually driven them).
I am in CA and will need to get the CARB/or California
legal version.
Thanks in advance!
Brian
