Hot Rodding rules apply here: Hop up the engine, the tires spin. Bigger tires solve tire spin, but now u joints break. Bigger u joints, then differential goes bang........... that sounds like my buggy but back and forth with power and suspension. So far 3.5 times the power of stock and the bus trans is holding up... but now it needs more power ( or different power ) as it’s knocking and there’s metal flake in the oil.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have a wide usable speedband, but best torque band is from 1750 up to 3480 RPM below there is not much torque, above the torque nearly stalls. the injection system is here coupled with a Transponder for theft protect, i think the same on your site. So if you like to use this Engine, you need the Engine Control Unit, what is on the Engine side mounted, the Transponder engine with Antenna (marriaged together with ECU) and a Wireharness for the lambda sensor. Otherwise that engine will just fireup for 3 sec. Than it stalls. Or you wanna built a complete own ECU yourself.
