2.5 questions...update 5/20/2010

i said easiest way not the best way.

 

really unless your building a race car or plan to run alot of boost i don't think you would notice a difference,most OEM carb/turbo setups are draw through.

 

I have seen VWs get into the 10s running draw though,its common on aircooled VWs for its simplicity.

 

When i build a system i usually convert to MPFI and go blow through.

make sure you upgrade the trans too. The AX-5 can't take much more than a stock 2.5L. If you have an AW-4 then you should be alright.

is an amc 20 rear end work with a 2.5? just curious :dunno:

The MJ AMC 20 is about as strong as a D44, should be more than strong enough for a 2.5 :thumbsup:

WOW, it's been awhile for this thread. Anyhow I got the truck here and found that the valves has been coated with bad gas that turned to varnish on the stems. So I removed the head and had a valve job done. I got the head back on and all buttoned up. Now I found that someone "borrowed" the electronics form the distributor :fs1: . The engine was replaced in '02 w/a MOPAR reman. This thing was SPOTLESS on the inside,the crosshatch pattern is stil very vissable on the cylinders,and the tops of the pistons had almost no carbon on them! I can even see the .005 oversize on them. :D . So after I hit the wrecking yards this weekend, I may be able to have it running! :clapping: AFTER I clean the fuel system out and replace the filter.
