I run vmx80 in g/b + t/c and 80w90 in diffs in my leafy

so it doesnt matter which way the heater hoses go around then?

cheers mate, where abouts are you? ---------- Id love to check yours out, how did you go with the wiring?

Just finishing of my g13b conversion, just wondering if anyone could help me out in connecting a couple of fuel lines and heater hoses up.. http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/3181/enginebayo.jpg First the fuel lines, 1 and 2 are from the car, do these go to 3 and 4 respectively? Dont know what 5 is yet ...

Thanks for all the info guys! Has anyone put one of these in without a body lift? If I have to do a body lift I dont think I'll do it because cops here in SA love to defect anything not standard!

Nice.. Thanks for that. I dont have a body lift though, and just wondering.. did you have to modify the exhaust too? How much cutting is there?

Has anyone put a vitata tank in their sierra? Does it fit ok? Did anything have to be modified?

Im putting a g13b into my sierra and I need the electric fuel pump!

Or links of anyone who has done it?
Cheers

well, not straight in but not insanely hard either. You will need -sierra sump and oil pickup (had to modify my oil pickup bracket) -sierra clutch and flywheel (bolts straight to gearbox with these) -sierra waterpump rear metal coolant pipe -custom radiator hoses (ae82+ford laser/mazda 323 95model ...

HElp! Almost finished my g13b to sierra conversion, should I do an in-tank fuel pump (tank has no baffles and i will be 4x4ing it), external or other? I dont want too much cluttering up the engine bay if I can help it...

Suggestions guys?

I just found out the gearbox mount was completely broken which means the gearbox dropped at the back which brought the top of the engine close to the firewall. I pulled the engine out and banged the firewall a little bit but it still looks stock. Now I have a fair bit of room. Cheers

might have to give it a bit of a hit- I'll check how much room I have with the heater core..

Unless someone wants to make me a right angle adaptor with the g13a cam/right angle and g13b dizzy?!@

Its the 1.3L chassis.
I have used the sierra mounts that connect to the body and the engine but used the commodore rubber bit in between which wouldn't change the position of the engine backwards and forward.

Im just putting a g13b into a sierra, Ive made up the mazda dizzy cap with the leads coming out sideways but its hitting the firewall and its still a cm until the gearbox is touching the motor.. What is going on? http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/6247/img1008d.jpg http://img121.imageshack.us/img121 ...

I used one from a swift cino. Fitted perfectly. Im not using a right angle dizzy though...

Pretty sure the search is not working.... Anyways, Im just doing the g13b into a sierra conversion and Im just wondering about the engine mounts. People have said that you can use the VL commodore ones so I bought a pair and they are basically exactly the same in measurements, but 5mm thicker. Just ...

no worries

that would be great

No you have to use the 323 rotor, i was saying the one i got the brass bit out of was off a hitachi distributor. The 323 rotor looks the same as the one i used. Where are you located, i have the one i modified, didnt end up using it. Made up a right angle drive instead. You can have it, and the cap ...

I had a right angle drive set up by a local engineer, took a couple of hours to manufacture and works perfect. You will need a g13a cam, g13b & g13a dizzys. I can take some pics of it if you want? for sure!!!If you could take some pics? I'd be very interested in this as it would be the best way to ...

Ok cheers. The rotor is from an MK2 motor, are you saying I should use the hitachi suzuki gti rotor instead of the mazda 323 one?

Ive just gone back to the store and they checked it and said the part number was correct..

Anyone done this conversion?

all I can think is that they have given me the wrong rotor button.. I found this post here which basically says the brass insert from the gti one is a press fit to the mazda. Ill go back to the store tomorrow and see. Does anyone have a pic of what the mazda rotor button looks like? QUOTE: (cant ...

Just in the process of changing the rotor button from the original to the mazda 1.6 turbo, not quite sure what to do. Apparently you can take the brass insert from the gti one and put it into the mazda one? Have I got the wrong one because the hole is way to big on the mazda rotor button? Heres a ...
