Just finished 1.6 TBI conversion, very towey.replaced the pump cause it was noisy,but the new one isnt much better. runs from tank to LP filter then to LP pump then HP pump then HP filter then check valve then TBI unit. some of the rubber hose does some fairly tight turns, but not pinched. Even ...

check to see if your catalitic converter or exhaust system is blocked, this would cause power loss at high revs

Thanks for the info, can now go and buy the hp hoses,might even get it running this weekend,,,if I can sneak into the workshop without the wife and kids noticing [/img]

HI all, just doing the finishing touches to the swift 1600 conversion to my Sierra. Been 8 months Need to know which way around I should put the fuel pump. not too sure if the thin tube or the thicker tube is the pump output, my pump is also got a yellow band around it . Dont know how to put a ...

The problem is that when I rebuilt the motor, I got 3 different dipsticks and tubes all different lengths . Any help appreciated ...

OOPS did I say REX ,I meant to say lancer EVO

I put a 4g63 in a 81 sierra back in the late eightys. I used the 2litre siruis motor out of a mitsubishi van and the 5speed box to suit. the motor and box fitted well with no cutting of the body. The bueaty of this conversion is that the gearbox is very short so that a decent length jackshaft is ...

Im doing the same conversion, and have got approval in princible, but they say I need an engineer because 1 structural integrity 2 g16b must comply with LA2 3 exhaust must comply with LT4 4 SUitability of transmission LB1 5 Suitability of fuel system LM 6 Any other tests the consultant my deem ...

Almost finished the motor rebuild, welded oil pick up, New problem , there are bracing rails bolted to the crankshaft bearing caps, they touch the sump, do I cut out the sump baffles or take off the bracing, too clear ,anyone know about engine rebuilding??? Has anyone came accross this before ...

I had a sj413 a while back with a 4g63b mitsibishi conversion .It had 10x15 tyres, lift kit , barwork, different seats and interior wood work,2x 40ltr longrange tanks built into the sills ,and on the weighbridge was 1100kg. your extra body work say 100kg. 1200kg all up. As for diff strength I never ...

Trying to keep your RPM at 3500 for 100kmh, is that why you want to change both diff ratios, is it possible to fit a sj410 transfer case to lower the ratios instead. Or consider putting in a larger motor that works at a lower RPM ,Here in the west it is theoretically possible to put an alumnium 3500 ...

excellent info, the 86 barina /swift one will suit my appliaation best . just waiting on a modified disty to arrive and the block to come back next week and then the fun starts, Be interesting to see how my TBI goes against nicbeers MPI . Everone says to use a vitara VSS ,but $100 for a speedo is ...

Still early days in the conversion, motor is in pieces,block and crank are off being machined. Need to know what therostat housing you need to clear the firewall, magna,? tried a 2.6 one at repco, is only 45 degree angle ,is that the right one.

as regards to boxing in the distributor is the heater ,demister unit behind there,which needs to be functioning to be legal secondly If it is mostly sand dunes you want to conquer then you need torque . I have had a rotary in a LJ 50 and while great on the road it would die on a steep sand hill. my ...

Thanks for the quick reply I might go the standard head for now, as this car has to go over the pits easy.As I find out more info on the matter then I can decide if the gti head idea is feasible.
