Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Can someone please tell me where the bell / alarm / buzzer / chimer is that goes off when you go over 100kph or there abouts in a suzuki escudo, I want to disconnect it. Thanks

Can you please tell me how you got error codes from your 98 vitara? is it the last of the boxy shape? or the first of the rounded shape? Thanks I'm having problems with my 1996 vitara 2000cc V6: http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/ftopic173649.php

Mike_1324, I had a look in the hose that goes from the brake booster to the intake manifold and it was clean as a whistle, no evidence of any oil/fluid.

cmarico and Santos, Although a possibility I think it is too much for that to be the case, it smells of petrol and it hangs in the air and doesn't ...

What causes white smoke from the exhaust when the engine is cold? The smoke smells like petrol, the spark plugs were fouled and not firing very well so I replaced all the plugs, this doesn't seem to have fixed it though. The coolant level doesn't look like it's dropped and the oil and water do not ...

taking your 110A alternator to a mechanic and getting them to gun the pullet nut off. huh.

dont have the tools(Rattle Gun) gun remove the multi groove pully huh.

Is that how it is supposed to be done :? I must be a real bush mechanic because I normally use a pair of big slip jaw pliers (or vice ...

Thanks c0rrupt :P I was hoping no one would notice that.

That's catalytic converter temperature. It's only fitted to japanese market cars.

Can't answer whether it's a wiring problem or not, but the "big hole" in the extractors won't be helping.

Steve.

Thanks for that steve, I don't mean to ...

Can someone please help me out with the supposedly free suzuki owners manuals. I have escudos and sj413s and would like the manuals for both.

A person claims on this forum: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070506073813AAYNzuA

that you can get owners manuals for free from this site ...

Does this really have any effect (bar negative) with stock springs and shackles?


Bit of firewall clearnace and slighty improved ride due to the extended wheelbase.

Next question: I have a 1991 16valve escudo that I just fixed the alternator brushes on, There is now a dash light on, I'm sure the light wasn't on previously, the light looks like a little box with tubes coming off the sides and 4 wavy lines going upwards, I've included a picture.

What does this ...

I've cracked one I also have a thing for ridiculously beautiful fabrication shame i'm not capable of it

I want to know if the non-vented front disc brakes/calipers etc. from a SWB vitara will fit on the LWB vitara that originally came out with vented front disc brakes/calipers etc. ? I had a good search and couldn't find the info i was after, I know I've read something about this before. Could someone ...

I pulled the alternator from my 16valve escudo yesterday, what a prick of a job! Anyway I want to high-mount a high amperage alternator instead of the factory one (I want to run extra spotties etc.)

I searched the bible, search, google etc. And haven't been able to find anything, Can someone please ...

It's probably really obvious, but I don't want to buy something that won't fit my truck. Would a SJ410 convertible windscreen fit a SJ413 hardtop? (just the glass not the frame obviously) They look the same to me.

Thanks

All sorted, the code was 12 which means "all is fine". I found that someone had put a fuse in the diagnostic slot in the fuse box, once removed everything was back to normal, obviously someone accidentally put a fuse in there thinking one was missing.

Thanks everyone

yes the single point injected 8valve.

you should be able to either try the engine codes from a vitara 16v or the swift single point. I don't follow what you mean by that.

some manuals are on here www.suzukiinfo.com The site is down at the moment, bandwidth exceeded. I will keep an eye on it ...

Thanks nicbeer for answering my last question :D

Next question: I have an 8valve escudo that I recently bought, it runs alright. The problem is there is a warning light that flashes on the dash, it looks like a little picture of an engine, it flashes like so:

long pause
flash
short pause

I have 3 SJ413s in varying states. Two of the three I cannot move the transfercase out of high two, is this common? what is causing the problem? and how is it fixed?

Thanks

actualy keeping out of the ruts because of a narrower track width will actually work in your favour in more times than not. If you are worried about panel damage then fit some sort of bar work Yes I understand that, we drive alot on the beach and up shingle based rivers, deep hard sided ruts is ...

UPDATE: well I now have 6 suzukis :P I don't know when to say no obviously.

2 Escudos, 1 16valve and 1 8valve
3 SJ413s
1 LJ81

Can anyone tell me if the alternator from a 2.5 litre suzuki will fit a 1.6 litre engine? This is the reason I ask, I have a 1.6 escudo with dud alternator and saw this for sale:

Thank you in advance

Next silly question. I have searched and searched and I cannot find the link to the "sierra vs escudo" discussion thread on which vehicle is better and why. I'm sure I found it on this site. Could someone please post up the link? thanks.

I can't think of an advantage of a lighter flywheel in a car that goes offroad.

I was thinking for better fuel economy onroad, also I read a write up on a suzuki rockcrawler in the states that was running a 16valve and the guy said he had a lighter flywheel for better throttle response, which ...

If you use an escudo manual there's no need for any sort of adapter - the jackshaft fits straight in.

The autos need adapters.
Can you please be a little more specific? This "jackshaft" that you refer to, what is that? Is that the shaft that comes out the back of a normal RWD gearbox that ...

stick with a vit 5 speed...waaaay tougher and the same gearing.

Gear: SJ413 Escudo
5 0.79 0.795
4 1.0 1.0
3 1.42 1.379
2 1.95 1.947
1 3.65 3.652
R 3.47 3.670

Yes the escudo gearbox ratios are very close to the SJ413 ratios, the trouble is that if I stick with the escudo 5speed I have to do some ...

Yep, at that revs the engine is not efficently making power, so will require more right foot to maintain speed. 3000rpm for 100, maybe more, will make a much happier drive.
I was thinking that 2300-2500 RPM would be a good goal for the 100KPH mark. Looks like I have it wrong. I have a friend with ...

Ok I have a silly question. What is better for a suzuki offroad a lightweight or standard flywheel? who has tried a lightweight flywheel in their suzuki? What were your impressions?

The link below makes the lightweight option appealling to me.

http://hondaswap.com/engine-building/light-flywheel ...

Have you thought about a 4agze?
Yes I have, I want to stick with the alloy engine if I can for the sake of weight, also I can avoid having to pay for/make an engine-gearbox adapter. I was also keen for custom made alloy wheels for low weight until I saw soooo many buckled alloys at the offroad ...

Hi all,

I have had a bit of a search on here and else where and can't find the exact answers that I'm after. If I'm getting you to repeat yourselves I am sorry.

Here goes. I am trying to get together all the major components for a project that I want to make.

A ROUGH OUTLINE OF WHAT I WANT TO ...

Not trying to thread jack here, but along the same lines, comfort wise, noise level, rpm and economy for longer trips/ bigger daily commutes what would be the engine of choice for sierra owners, the 1300cc twin cam swift engine or the 1600cc vitara engine?

I'm considering one of those engines and ...
