I don't have an AEL, I have an 115hp pump d�se ATJ 4 cylinder - after chip
tuning it is 143hp and something like 263ft.lbs of torque!  I have the key,
key reader, instrument cluster, ECU, the whole ball of wax!  The IMMO and
getting the motor running isn't going to be a problem.  What I am chasing
down is mounting the motor at 20 something degrees and using the dual mass
flywheel.

I will be sharing all answers that I get - don't worry!  :-)

Subject: RE: Dual Mass Flywheels and I5 dimensions needed (AEL)

Answers to questions 4 & 5 require the engine to be mounted. Answers to
questions 1, 2 & 3 require the engine to be un-mounted. I have an unmounted
AEL engine, so I can provide answers to the first three questions, but not
the last two. It will require a trip to my shop, I can do this tomorrow. Are
you able to share any details of how you got your AEL conversion running?

Subject: Dual Mass Flywheels and I5 dimensions needed.

I spent a few hours just tinkering in the shop today.  I have an 115hp ATJ
engine code TDI that is from a B5 Passat with it's transmission.  The engine
will eventually find it's way into my Syncro Westfalia, but I want to
experiment with it a bit first.  Some of the things I want to try is to use
the dual mass flywheel that came with engine, but, as Murphy would have it,
it isn't going to be easy.  One thing I did notice is that the transmission
will bolt to an I4 and an I5 engine!

Seeing how this was designed to go into a place where an I5 can sit, I have
a few questions for the group.

1    On the I5 motors, what is the distance from the block straight out to
where starter teeth on the flywheel begins?
2    What is the diameter of the I5 flywheel?
3    What is the distance form the block to the "flat" area where you would
push on the clutch fingers with the throw out bearing?
4    What angle from the horizontal is an I5 motor in the back of a Vanagon?
5    What is the distance between the two motor mount "pins" that go into
the cross member?
