Highest I have heard of personally is 230 hp SVX in a vanagon.
And the trans was OK with it.
I would think a 2.2 or 2.5 Soobie turbo engine would work fine too. The
latest turbo Soobie 2.5's push 300

What is the highest HP people have put in a Vanagon with an Automatic
Transmission. I think the SVX and WRX are around 225 horsepower.. and maybe
they go more often into manuals... but has anyone put in 300 horsepower? or
400 horsepower?... there were 911 conversions ... but I think they're about
247 horsepower (at least for the early 1990's)
