Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey Guys, long time no post.. I've got a G16B and harness from a Vitara fitted in my '97 Coilly Sierra which has been running a treat for about a year now. But recently I've been having issues with it blowing the 15A fuse before the main relay that gets 12v from the battery. Basically I'll turn the ...

I bodged up a 34ADM and an airbox similar but different to the one you pictured. Only difference was I just ran a small SC blowthrough on it at about 5psi. I just kept the jets/tune the same as the stock XE ones. Went hard as till I cracked piston #3. People tell me that's normal on a Coilly ...

You could hear him coming down the road... Sounded like those clickers you used to put on the spokes of your BMX when I was kid

Bloke I know (he was a truckie) used to swear by putting golf balls in the tyres. He reckons they were just heavy enough to balance the tyre, but light enough not to cause too much extra rolling weight. I was pretty drunk when he was explaining this to me so I might have the reasons wrong, but I ...

Now I remember!!! Thanks heaps joeblow

Should push the boat instead of towing, prolly save you a few kms per litre

I'm just about done with the wiring on the Zook, it's a 1.6l 16v MPFI into a Sierra. The only thing I'm struggling with at the moment is, I cant find the wire for O2 sensor... Does anyone know which wire this is out of the harness???

When i was working out at Eucla about this time last year, ULP was $1.76 a litre. I wouldn't be surprised if it was up to around $1.80-$1.90 now. One thing to note is, if you need to fuel up at Border Village, wait untill Eucla. It's only an extra 12kms and the fuel is generally 10c a litre cheaper ...

i was thinking of exploring the side tracks off the powerlines - some more rutted hills etc... i just dont remember where they are anymore! haha I think you'll find that the sidetracks are actually classified as catchment area and therefore a no go zone now... Apparently you cant even play in the ...

If I get off my lazy ass and finish the remaining 4 wires in the Zook and it starts, I'll come up for test run. I've done the lines a few times so can show you the few spots along the track. Basically once you get on there, it's just one long road with different obstacles along the way, no need for ...

I play in everything I've got a K&N Apollo "AirBox" http://www.knfilters.com/search/product ... =RC-5052AS that is basically a pod filter in a sealed box. I'll just mount it to the firewall with the supplied bracket up near the carbon cannister...

I've just dropped a 1.6 MPFI motor into my Sierra and am looking at making a snorkel up. I'm basically looking at running the pipe from the throttle body into an inline fliter, out the body and up the A Pillars. Now my question is where to put the Airflow Meter. Is it best behind the filter, next to ...

Beauty, Thanks Steve. I was hoping that was the case In that case there is a good chance I might actually get it running for Easter, wonders will never cease

Ok, the motor is in, the wiring is done. I changed the timing belt while I had the engine out as it looked a bit crappy, also the fan belt. Rear mains looked fine, no leaks. Needs a new spigot bearing by the look of things, but the gearbox will be coming out again soon as I need to do the synchro in ...

Sweet, thanks very much for all the info. The guy I've bought the motor/wiring off has given me a Feroza fuel pump, as they are external, easy to install, and manage to feed the Feroza's 1.6 fine. And it was FREE! :D I had a feeling that the fuel lines were high pressure but wasn't sure. I'll go ...

How hard is it to put the vitara pickup/pump in my tank? Does the tank need to be dropped out or can it be done in situ?

I'm in the process of swapping my 1.3 carb for a 1.6 MFI motor. I've got almost everything sorted, just a couple of quick questions... 1: While I have the 1.6 on the floor is there anything I should check maintenance wise before I put it in the Zook? 2: It's going in a '97 Coil Sierra. Will the fuel ...

Are you doing the wiring yourself?? I'm about to start putting a 1.6 16v mpfi in my coilly this week and was wondering about wiring. I've got an auto sparky mate that reckons he can do it (just wired a blown 1UZ-FE in a Hilux) but does anyone sell a complete harness??

I can vouch for just cruizin's body lift on the SJ80, did one earlier this year, very nice. The price for the suspension setup is about right too. I got Rancho RS5000 and King Springs from my local, including modifying the shocks for around $750... You wont know the big girl once it's done.

I haven't found much different from my '97, and I cant imagine it'd be different from a '98. It should give you a basic idea of how it all went together. What exactly are you trying to sort out?

This is what I have in my manual, it might be the same as what you already have, but I'm pretty sure most things will be the same.... http://www.globaldial.com/~gannaj/keels/zook/zook-wiring.pdf Hope this helps :) <EDIT> PS: If you cant read some things just let me know and I'll try and work it out ...

I have a Haynes manual from Pomgolia that I use for my Coilly. I'll see if I can find it and scan it for you. I'm not sure if it'll all be the same, but I haven't found anything too different between the models...

Mine was having this problem earlier this week/month. Turned out after I did the body lift, one of the vacuum lines running from the airbox to the manifold split. Replaced it and it was still running a bit rough, but it was idling. Pulled the dizzy cap off and #3 was corroded to crap, replaced that ...

I had this problem on a VL Commodore I once owned. I pulled the car apart, replacing wheel bearings and all sorts of stuff. After about $1k worth of stuff, turned out it was the hubcap loose in the wheel rim :roll: I doubt this is your problem, but it should prompt you to have a look around ...

I have King Springs in my Coily, stuffed if I know what the rate is though. You could try contacting them I guess?

Thanks for all the tech guys. I've done an electric fuel pump conversion on my Mini many many moons ago, so I'm aware of cut offs etc for safety. For that conversion I just used a Rover EFI tank, pump, switches etc. I was kind of hoping to do the same with the Zook :P Looks like that VK Relay would ...

Well, it'll probably only need to be around 10-15psi. I'm not sure how much the standard pump can push, so I thought it better to be safe than sorry and hook up an electric pump with a regulator on it.

Hey Guys Just wondering if anyone new offhand what type of fuel pump a 97 Coil Sierra runs. I'm presuming it's a mechanical pump. Has anyone done a conversion to an electric fuel pump off a vitara or something along those lines? I'm getting to the final stages of my supercharger setup and am now ...

[quote="rustyvit"]I was all for doing the full camo job on it but have been informed by the family that non of them will be seen dead in it if I do./quote] All the more reason to I say... :twisted: Just get a body shop to rub it all back, bog the doors or buy some off a wreck, and cover it in etch ...

As far as I'm aware, a certain amount of back pressure is used to help the cylinders back down once they reach TDC. Back pressure is not really needed, as proved by starting an engine without any exhaust manifold at all. But with the correct amount of pressure it should run better. I know you are ...
