Look at aftermarket electric water pumps as a booster- This might make all the difference.

What Pete said ...

The only time I ever had cooling issues with mine, with a mildly worked 1.6, running bias ply 35's was one a 38degree day with a radiator full of mud (see avatar pic)

I see you have 31" tires, have you done anything in the gearing to compensate for this?
what would be the diff tween a GTI and a 1.6 injected in terms of power, the 1.6 would have more down low wouldnt it.
Basically on paper they have the same power and torque but the torque range is different. The GTi is a very high revving motor and doesn't have the low end torque the 1.6 produces but when geared up a GTi can be very potent. The 1.6 efi is probably a better daily driver motor.

Steve,
The big one for me is which is easiest, tho as I need torque, I recon as Im for the biggers donk.

A short block is only 1350 and an adaptor is 350, use all yr own running gear, sweet.

See if i can get a torque cam in it.

So which is the easiest swap...????

I'd say the GTi would be the easiest, but alot would say the carby 1.6 but if going injected the GTi is easier IMHO but you will need an angle drive or the mazda GTX mod for the dizzy to make it legal.

Im in the pibara, Port Hedland.

Thats ok, might hed to see me kids on me swing off, so I will go home, measure up, order, then off to see me kids, that way it will be there when I get back.

I was loking in suzisport international, they sell a 1750 for a lil toy, new, under warranty, 1750 buks, seems pretty god to me, they also sell an adaptor for 350, any reason why this would nt be the go.

I really dont know, so ????

Its the ninth item down.

Carb, bored out 1.6ltr. Thats 25.7% bigger than a 1.3ltr, combine that with a torque cam, larfin.

Sounds like the duks guts to me.

An 200 sound a heap better than 350, thanks.
