Hi
I just thought I would tell you that I will be adapting Hyundai engines soon. Its because I work with them and have all technical data for them. Engine sizes will vary from 1.1 to 2.0l but in that are a 1500 turbo which when modded will reach at least 180hp without internal mods at a reasonable price,a three cylinder diesel and a two litre made by Mitsubishi that was the bases of the Evo 2.0l.

I have an old split VW Transmission(about 1962)which will enable me to adapter the clutch bearing mechanism easier aswell.

First is a 1300 Accent engine which will allow a 1300/1500NA and 1500Turbo's to be fitted.

EVO engine in a VW anybody????.

sounds interesting - especially the evo option. Will you be producing adaptors and all the ancilliaries or is it going to just be adaptors. or are you going to do proper bellhousings?

good luck with the venture.
