Volkswagen Bus WRX: Yes it’s Subaru-Powered!

The owner of this modified Volkswagen Bus T3 –also known as the Vanagon in the U.S. and as the Transporter or Caravelle in Europe, decided to spice up his van by swapping the standard engine for a Subaru WRX sourced, turbocharged boxer unit.

According to the owner of the vehicle Erik, the Dyno showed 227.2 Hp @ 6500 rpm and 216.6 lbs-ft of toque @ 4,500 rpm at the van’s rear wheels. Apart from the Subie boxer engine, Erik has also been fitted the VW Bus with a set of 18-inch Porsche alloy wheels along with Porsche sourced 4-piston Brembo brakes up front. –Click through for more images and videos
