I for one would really like to see one of these EE20 powered Syncros, doing something Syncro.

Lets see one do a VC test.

Shoot, show one spinning the front wheels on a hoist for all I care.
Lets see it all hooked up in a offroad excursion, soon there after.

Spin some tires :!:

I would like to know the average MPG they are getting. Couple of tanks worth of results.

The owners impression of the engine and how it drives would be nice.

Small Car has posted 30.1 MPG for the 2wd EE20

Yeah, I remember seeing that. I would like to hear from a none professional mechanic EE-20 driver. What are their thoughts on how it drives and MPG they are getting. I guess there are not enough conversions done yet.

Anyone know if there will be a version of conversion for a due-it-yourselfer? I think right now the only option is to send your van to a shop and $18,000-$20,000 dollars later your set up.

I’m planning on an EE-20 sometime in the future, yet the cost has to go down for it to be worth it. I have some time though, because my build Syncro shell is coming from Texas in about a month. That will be a crazy stripped out full build from a slightly mechanically inclined guy such as myself. Hopefully it won’t take 3-4 years to complete... :lol:

P.S. I’m really liking the "Version of Conversion" term.
