Post by: Vincent Waldon on April 04, 2010, 06:27:54 pm: Those go for $8-$10K here in Edmonton... Sears used to use 'em for their carpet cleaning fleet and there are a few on the market now and then.

Very slow 5 cylinder NA engine... great economy for a big van except on the highway where their gearing is a bit shallow.

If they are indeed turbo's they'd be converted ones. All AAB 2.4L were NA from the factory. There have been some that have had a turbo added. IIRC there's a fellow on Van Isl. that put a turbo'd 2.4L in his Isuzu. He also added an LDA to the pump from a 1.6L. I don't recall which turbo he used though.

Post by: Vincent Waldon on April 05, 2010, 02:54:01 pm: There's a version of an Audi turbo manifold that bolts on, and that's how most people convert 'em.
