Subaru motor swapping in a VW
I've got a 69VW baja that I put an EA82 turbo in out of a 88 GL-10 wagon (that I got dirt cheap). I have an adapter plate to mate the EA82 to the VW tranny and the car really goes well, but I am having problems with overheating at high speeds. I think this is due to the radiator location, which is in the rear of the engine cage. I have multiple pusher & puller fans on the radiator, and I still have tempature problems over 60 MPH. I am looking into an intercooler for the turbo, but I can't find a good place to locate it for air flow. Anyway, I found a XT6 dirt cheap. The XT6 has more horsepower w/o the turbo, which I think will help in my tempature problems. So here is my question:
Are the engine/tranny mount bolt patterns the same on a 1988 EA82 and a 1991 XT6 6-cylinder?
any help would be greatly appreciated.
