Extractor compatibility

[Sneezing7]

Hi there,

Newbie here - so my apologies if this questions has been covered before.

I have just bought a 1995 Feroza here in Cyprus, and the factory exhaust manifold is rusted to buggery. I am looking at putting some extractors on it, but all the extractors I have found are for 1600EFi models.

For some reason the Feroza's over here are all Carbie fed, so I guess my question is will EFi extractors fit on the carbie engine. I am assuming that they will, but I need to make sure before I go ahead and order them from Australia.

Also, I have found a set of Genie extractors for an 1988-1992 Feroza online. Would these fit? As far as I knew all the Feroza's had the same engine?

Thanks in advance!!

Is your Feroza left hand drive - or right hand drive? That will affect which ones will fit.

Apart from that you will just have to find somethiung to plug up the Oxygen Sensor hole in the extractors and then they should bolt straight on.

Thanks for the reply! Good to see a Adelaidian helping out an ex adelaidian!!

I kind of guessed that all I would need to do is plug up the o2 sensor hole. I just needed to triple check that the extractors would physically fit the engine.

Are ther any websites on the carbie fed engine? I have looked but cannot find anything....

FYI: We drive on the same side of the road as in Aus.

No worries. So you're an ex Adelaide resident- there are two other Adelaide residents with Ferozas on here too!

Some of the 4-2-1 design extractors will foul the steering shaft on LHD vehicles (eg. Hurricane extractors); hence the question. The only difference between the HD-E and HD-C engines is bolt on external parts. The head and block are all the same (so you should have no worries bolting EFI extractors on.)

Have you downloaded the Service Manual in the FAQ post yet? That covers both engine types and has pics of them. It would help you out with maintenance.

I haven't found any sites with carby engine info- at least none I could understand?! There are a few foreign language sites on Ferozas eg. German and Russian. Australia and the USA only got the EFI versions and ~95% of the members on here are from those countries.

Great! Thanks again!

And just tro confirm, even though Genie seems to say that these extractors are for a 1988-1992 Feroza, will they still bolt onto a 1995 model?

[murcod]

All the Feroza engines are the same (apart from EFI/carby bolt ons) and the Feroza body / chassis never changed- so there shouldn't be a problem.

Great! thanks for the advice!!

Well, I have ordered a set of Genie extractors. Lets see if they fit!

Last question though, I am not replacing the rest of the exhaust - just yet. Will these extractors bolt up to the factory system?

Also, with the exhaust, I am thinking 2" will be optimal. Correct?

You'll probably need to get an exhaust shop to fit them. They will most likely need to be joined (welded) into the exhaust system. Probably will need to fabricate a couple of brackets too- one for the coolant pipe to bolt onto, and another to support the extractors onto the gearbox.
