Subject:Re: Engine swap conversion details are now online!

I had a look at the web pages and I have a couple of questions...

Is there any provision made to duct pre-heated air into the air intake?

How was the 25 mpg (Imperial or US) mileage figure for a conversion
determined? Is this for an 1.8 or 2.0 litre engine? CIS or Motronic
management system?

The "demo" vehicle (syncro doublecab) is claimed to have a steady 13
litres/100 km fuel consumption - am I correct in estimating this to be 21.68
mpg (Imp) / 18.12 mpg (US) ?

Is the muffler mounted in the same position as the stock wasserboxer?
