Diesel Engines in Vanagons: Diaries of the Wounded - GoWesty
A proper AAZ 1.9 turbo diesel engine installation alone into an already diesel-powered Vanagon is about $7500. Then, on top of that, the gearing in the transaxle needs to be MUCH taller than for the waterboxer or stock 1.6 diesel in order to fully take advantage of the 1.9 liter torque and fuel economy.
