Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Can vouch for BenT's kit (NZ) had everything I needed and very helpfull VIA e-mail.

Excelent write up. Was there evidence of the short? chaffing of harness? In the vid of the silly scope were you reving the engine or was that just a high surging idle?

Cheers.

seems like you might be overcomplicating things mate, they run with only 4 wires connected from the loom

This is probably the case but simplifying it and just connecting brown with white trace (NW) and brown wires (N) [after all a condenser is just to take out the radio noise isn’t it?] doesn’t ...

Ok I am putting in the G16B MPFI from a 96 Vit into my 89 sierra. 3rd year I’ve been doing this now and just got enthusiasm to try and make the engine work again. I did a lot of things backwards (was a bit naive back then) including not check that the MAF sensor, O2 sensor or resistor condenser came ...

from the service manuall :
"the fault code will be stored in memory (except for code 41) untill the battery has been disconnected for more than 20 seconds"

PM me with e-mail address and I will E-mail back manual.

Be sure when you find out how much the water pump puts out ya let us know.

cheers ...

Quick question. Does the engine have a MAF sensor with a vane inside it that moves as air flow increases, or a MAP sensor that can be somewhat smaller and just measures pressure? Some might argue that the difference between the two are semantics but I thought the older G16B’s had a mechanical MAF ...

Just wiring up my sierra with G16B conversion and wondering why two of the 3 wires from the MAF sensor go to earth (on the wiring diagram, Black and Blue-w-Black trace) albeit one splices of to the computer (Bl/B) before it goes to the same earth point. Why is this? Can I just splice the two at the ...

Second hand info so take it with a grain of salt but was reading on redline gti.com a guy that was turbo'ing his G16B. when he disconected the airflow meter the engin stilll ran seemingly normally, his thoughts ran along the lines of the computer having a fail safe airflow map programed in based on ...

$1600 for second hand G16B out of a 96 vitara from a cairns wreckers that had 160 000 on the clock. $2500 for a full rebuild from a local JAP motors mob. Install myself. a full set of sockets up to about 17mm, breaker bar and ring spanners should get you through the factory stuff. Im thinking just ...

Cheers PCR, yea just going off of the diagram i have which says thers a 50A or 60A (its too blody small to make out) fusable link between the batt and gen. good idea though, saves on heavy guage wire. Thanx for taking the time for the diagram as well, took me like half an hour to get mine right ...

Howdy all.
doing a rewire now I’m installing the G16B into my sierra. pictured on the left hand side is a very simplified version of the original vitara wiring and on the right is what I want to do. I should add that iv installed the 110A falcon alternator. It’s a much simpler system I think, is ...

Mines from a G16B made in Jan 0f 06, it’s got the coil pack in the dizzy. I would highly recommend getting the whole vitara or a front cut, just easier to not miss stuff out of the engine purchase. some of the stuff I needed to source after I bought the engine. Starter motor, O2 sensor, airflow ...

Sorry mate shouldnt have put anything in brackets. Earth = chassis, negative terminal of the battery.

Yea as i said in PM dont have the O2 sensor but it makes sence now blue w black trace is the +12V, black is the earth and grey w black trace turns into red w blue trace for the O2 sensor output to ...

thought i might just edit this post to keep it all neat. so far this is what iv got.

blue w black trace = power (+12V from main relay, main relay switched by computer)
black w blue trace = earth
black w green trace = earth
black = earth

BIG PLUG
white w green trace = injector
white w black trace ...

yea Im thinking he thought it might have been an extension arm back to the mounting point now that iv looked at it again. doesnt help that i had the origional engine mount hanging off of it with a bolt to keep it out of the way :roll: Was more intrested in talking about my lux diffs that i had ...

Howdy all, just a quicky.
Would i be able to get a few pic's of the "box section engine mount adaptor" on the drivers side engine mount from BenT's kit, installed if there handy. had the engineer over just before i installed the engine and he was huming and harring about it. a few pics of installed ...

Righto. Well i should just clarify a few things. I have this G16B from a 96 Vitara out at the moment with the intention of puting it into my 89 SWB sierra, just so you know where im coming from when i say i dont know if it will hit on power steering. And without further ado.

http://i283 ...

Well your in luck, bought the alternator yesterday, trial fitted it today to my G16B (removed at the moment),sprey painted the brackets and will bolt it up all nice tomorrow. For the least f*@k around I used the alt bracket off the G13A (can still use G16B alt bracket but more grinding and pissing ...

Did it a couple of months ago with just cruizin's kit. I cant actually see how you can do the 2in lift without disconnecting it or at least loosening it as in its origional position the biscuit was bending/warping quite a bit (ie a lot of tension on the biscuit). Just take the bolts completely out ...

Just going to jump in here because I think it’s related. Obviously you can rotate the rear axle as far as you want with wedges / rewelding perches etc for a better uni angle. BUT what happens when you start rotating the front axle? Do you start to unevenly scrub tires? How much would it affect ...

Thanks bubs!
Got the hub and swivel housing off tonight. greese and blody bearings everywhere. It was a fair mission to pry/hammer the caps/shafts out of the king pin bearings, tryed to push the bearings on by hand once they were out and i cant really see how they were ever going to come off ...

finaly got the collet's off! now the next question. i can pull the knuckles/sterring arm out about 5mm before they meet some friction.

http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk315/tazmanier/100_1330.jpg

is the cylinder going into the swivel housing the piviot point for the swivel? should i be taking ...

Wow lightning quick response! ill pick up a brass drift after work today. so just for my own knowledge the nut would push down on the collet locating the stud so thers no latteral movment? also the knuckles are what i call the steering arm?

Thanx RAY!

Howdy guy's.
Iv got a set of hilux diffs/axels from the wreckers that im totaly rebuilding for my zook (comon dont hold it against me). im in the process of TRYing to pull off the steering arms from both hub assy. (i dont know the names for everything so if you can give me names that would be top's ...

I can lift a 1.3L long motor :finger:

Quote:
G16B 89kg You gotta stop letting your nanna's do all the lifting for you

Hardy ha ha, well ill havta get You Lil'loki and GRPABT1 to help me out come install time.... you 2 can just lift the zook up and place it down on top of the donk! show of them ...

Did you want an engineering cert for the engine swap? not only does the zook not handel well with a heavy front (what iv heard) but its very hard to engineer it after exceeding a percentage of weight over the original engine (what i know) was talking to an engineer today about it.
I started ...

ya know that benT selld them for $200 posted to your door!

Nah i didnt. Will PM ya for the details.

Hey mate, if your doing a 1.6l g16 engin into a sierra then im doing same thing at the mom. this is sorta half an answer but gives a litle info. quoted yesterday, JUST for G16B (fuel inj) engin recon $2300. no computer, loom, bell housing/ converter plate or altenator. This quote was b4 they knew i ...

Thanx guy's for the info so far! yea that link will come in handy whem its time to put wheel's on and gear the whole thing.
Went to the local 4wd wreckers and they quoted me $1100 PER DIFF! Now im not that experianced with buying car parts (prob why he's quoting $1100) but im thinking thats preety ...

Howdy to all those lux drivers.
Iv got a zook that im looking to put lux diffs under, had a look through the first 10 pages or so of the search results i got and the bible, so if thers a link or this has been discused b4 just let me know. The questions i have are.

What are the differences between ...
