Not a huge power difference between the 1300 an 1600 on paper put the seat of the pants is alot more and it feels like it has more torque to hold up hills etc definatley something a miss with yours my stock 1600 was a big improvement over the 1300 and weber.

You have something wrong with your motor. The 1.6 should pull 31's at the speed limit without a whimper and be able to accelerate.Try_Me wrote:going to get her checked out this week was on the free way in 5th could just hold 110 slight increase in road like i mean slight would drop to 90-100 easy and thats with me have the pedal to the floor the whole time i dont think thats rightNIK wrote:Not a huge power difference between the 1300 an 1600 on paper put the seat of the pants is alot more and it feels like it has more torque to hold up hills etc definatley something a miss with yours my stock 1600 was a big improvement over the 1300 and weber.

As for the power increase between a 1.3 and a 1.6 carb motor .. 47 to 55Kw is a pretty sizeable increase in real terms 8Kw is pretty good.
The allround driveability of the 1.6 is so much nicer.

I reckon even our cat would flow 55Kw of exhaust.Gwagensteve wrote:I reckon even a cheap cat will flow 55Kw of exhaust.

He's getting old and Whiskas gives him gas.
Fix the 1.6 that's already in it. It's a good, proven setup and is the cheapest option.

the 1.8 GTX motor is a J series motor not a G series, so it's the same as fitting a 2.0 Vitara 4 Cylinder. It can be done, but it's not a bolt in, that's for sure. In any case, you'd never fit the 1.8 instead of the 2.0.Try_Me wrote:baleno 1.8 gtx motor???
my mate thinks they hammer how much harder to fit instead of a 1.6 baleno?? if i was going to change
If you can't find and fix the problem with the engine you have now you will never have the patience finish an engine conversion.
