The company was tasked with swapping it for a turbocharged 2.0 L EJ20 flat-four from a Subaru Impreza GT (GC). The motor features a Manley pistons and rods, custom exhaust by MG Motorsport, TD05H turbocharger, and an Ecumaster EMU Black ECU. In front of the motor is a Subaru WRX manual transmission converted to RWD using a Subarugears kit. The Caravelle rides on AirRide suspension with Keskin wheels. It stops thanks to Brembo four-piston calipers with 313 mm rotors in front and VW T4 calipers with 294 mm rotors in back. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/engineswapdepot.com\/?attachment_id=81491\"
