diesil motor and coil conversion

[Zachius]

ok was thinking about dropping a diesil engine in my suziki

has anyone else done this ???

and do u guys have any suggestion on a motor??
was thinking about 1.6-2L engine from a european passenger car.

also if anyone has a coil conversion i would love to see some pics of how it is done??

especially up the front end on the side near to the diff

thanx

the vw diesel works well apparently

A few people have coil conversiosn but it might be easier to get a stock coil one and upgrade it from there or coil difs and then change them unless u want to fabricate the whole lot yourself...



wats wrong with leaf? It seems to go well unless u really want coil for some competion/extreme beast.... A few people on here have both too...

coil sierra have mane weaknesses and there not designed real well

better off with a leafy and then conveting it to coil.

ive got an Isuzu 1.8 Diesel in a LWB, the motor is out of a TG Gemini, also running the Gemi 5spd. Very slow on road with 32s'(also 5.29 Diffs), but picked up a bit with 36's, will be heaps better if i ever get a turbo. I didnt fit it, was in the car when i got it. Theirs also a 3.1 Turbo Diesel in another LWB ive seen, i think its for sale?

yeah just trying to work out how to mount the front spring on hte side closest to the diff centre up front as the housing is still on a fair angle under the chassis rail where u would normally mount your spring...

and i want coils cause they should give a more comfy ride, they don't tend to break (already had a leave break in my zook for no apparent reason)....

and VW motor from which car??

D a search onhere there have been numerous discusions on diesels as well as coil conversions. Sam at Overkill Engineering offers a coil conversion kit. The VW are not available here but it is available as a kit from the US, used to be Keltec but I think Rocky Road does thhem now
