Pretty sure it is the same bolt pattern, but...
The VW EA827 engine is a LOT bigger than the Suzuki G10 or G13. And, it's a LOT heavier. We're literally talking 300-400 pounds versus 100 or so.
Even the EA827-derived 3-cylinder aluminum block 1.2 PD-TDI was over 200 pounds.
I decided long ago that VW didn't make an engine suitable for this.
Optimal would be the ~120 pound Mercedes-Benz OM660, as used in the Smart ForTwo, but...
Keep in mind that my own project has been cancelled, I've moved on to bigger and smaller and better things.
