9.4:1 compression, with 132 hp & 177 ft.lbs of torque when fitted with GW-EFI.

Here is what you get with our 2450cc high output engine kit:

  • Counter-weighted 84.5mm stroke crankshaft
  • Camshaft with GoWesty proprietary profile
  • New connecting rod set with new ARP rod bolts
  • Custom made in USA JE brand 96mm forged pistons with wrist pins, clips and rings
  • Torque plate-honed 96mm cylinders
  • GoWesty copper cylinder head gaskets
  • New hydraulic lifters


IMPORTANT NOTE: The engine block assembly (case) will need to be hand-machined for added clearance in several places, including (but not limited to) the roof and beneath piston at BDC and back side of the bosses into which the head studs install from the opposite side. The case is made from cast aluminum, and no two are exactly the same. There is no "blue print" or "program" to achieve this—it has to be done by hand by a very experienced and talented individual—please read this article for more information. The crankshaft/rod assembly, cylinder, and piston must be test-fitted repeatedly to ensure that the clearance is correct and adequate, while at the same time not going too far and maintaining the cleanliness required for any successful engine rebuild.

NOTE: Kit does NOT include installation instructions, and we will not provide technical support throughout the building process. If you do not have the tools, experience, and/or know-how to build a water boxer engine, please purchase one of our complete engines. For more information about WHY this kit excludes instructions, please read this article.

'The Green Giant"
We have been building with these 2.45wbx kits for about 15 years now and 'they' are the answer to anyone considering upgrading their MVDJSS wbx's. This kit resolves an old problem, the 2.1 is underpowered a bit. Put a 2.45wbx in your Vanagon and you will be driving with a strong engine pushing you. Put it into your Syncro and you will smile again.
Also remember that this conversion/upgrade keeps your T3 original and that matters when your car is 40 years plus. This is the 'only' conversion we carry out on T3's... and it's a big success for us in Europe.

One word or warning!.... Read GW writing up fitting the kits. The Case is modified in some 25 spots and you have to know how! I would strongly advise buying one of GW's in-house rebuilds....

Have fun. Great Engine.

A notable Upgrade!

Having built many wbx's with this kit I can report that the results are excellent. Effectively you build a brand new Stronger Wbx. Of course you need a lot of technical skills, so I wouldn't recommend this for everyone. Having said that, we have a lot of very very happy customers on this side of the Pond. Enjoy.
