van

I have an 82 vanagon camper with a 1.9 jetta diesel engine installed by the previous owner. I bought it from him in Colorado and the Colorado mechanic recommended putting a turbo on it to give it more horsepower and gas efficiency. However I cant find anyone in TX to do it, well at least in the Dallas area. So i was wondering if anyone knew how to do it or knew anyone in Texas or close to Texas that would do it.

Hi all-- We're starting an eco-touring project, bringing city-bound folks out to small food producers in Minnesota and Western Wisconsin in order to increase the distribution demand for awesome fresh, local, artisanal food. It'll also be great fun. But it defeats the purpose of going out to see all of these places if we spew pollutants in the process, so we're looking for somebody in Minnesota with a grease-powered van to provide transportation to our groups. Looking for a capacity of 7-10 (including the driver). If you or anybody you know would be into renting out their van to us for this project, you should get in touch with us or pass on our contact info: meet.n.eat@gmail.com
We'd up the offer for someone who also wanted to drive the van.

Thanks!

Family of three wanting to purchase reliable wvo vehicle to travel the pan american highway from Denver, CO to Costa Rica. Looking for affordable vehicle that is already converted. I am new to all of this so I am curious to good resources. I found wvo classifieds on greasecar.com, any other great sites? Anything that I soould consider before buying a used wvo vehicle?

In particular-a 95' chevy G30 van? older Ford pickups? My predilection is towards an elsbett type system.

I am moving a 6.2 turbo diesel out of a 1987 E350 Van into a 1986 Ford F350 dually Pick up.

What space problems might I encounter particularly with the firewall obstruction in the truck. Can I expect the fit to be the exact same or is the firewall closer to the front of the engine compartment int he pick-up so cloe that the turbo will be tight, I have heard of the need for a conversion kit for this swap.

"Adventures in greasecar conversion & our quest for sustainable travel.

Our Volksvegan Adventure" is a chronicle of the adventures of Megan, Seneca, and our 1982 VW bus which is being converted to run on bio-diesel and waste vegetable oil. We will post about our conversion process using a greasecar kit, the restoration of our beloved bus, and our many veggie-fueled travels."

"Vegetable oil fuel tank being built. The internal pipe-work can heat solid palm oil for burning in the engine. Vegetable oil has to be heated to about 80 degrees C to attain similar viscosities to everyday road diesel. Once this temp has been achieved the fuel tanks can be switched over from normal diesel to vegetable oil."
