Engine FUBAR - 1.6 (16v) TBI Conversion

[nicbeer]

On the FUBAR question. Looks like mine has the big end problems as well. How long will it run like that and what can happen when it dies?

Left and right mounts are different on the block, by a small amount, it may be you got wrong bits? Or wrong sides.
There is often a choice of holes in the chassis part where the mounts bolt on.
You may need the mounts off side of coily block?
A coily chassis would be different, but not the block, so maybe you need more coily bits, especially the brackets that bolt to chassis?

15 - 20 mm out is not a lot really, chassis' do twist and bend, so do motors, thats why rubber mounts.

You didn't put the motor in upside down did ya

If ya get totally bamboozled, I can come have a look see.

Also possible it came out of a 1.0 litre sierra, meaning mounts are very different?
Easy to fix that, tho, same as I did to fit a 1.3 to a 1.0

im yet to have the lot in the car but the engine and box is going in bolted together

[christover1]

all the coily mounts are the same as leafy ones

Cheers Fellas,
Not quite there yet....so close yet so far as they say!!! Ive tried a few different things....made sure its up the right way(!!!) but still a bit close to the tunnel for mine! you may get a call yet chris!
Im shattered the exhaust that came with it needs some adjusting too!!! Its beautiful, except the muffler sits about 5mm away from the coil! Doh, I dont see it being a big job to move this forawrd slightly though. The rest of the system sits nicely at or above the chassis line
Time is running out!!!! (read: missus is gettin annoyed at me dissapering with her car - zooks at the inlaws!!!)
Thanks again!

Back again......!!!
After much searching, i am still not in possesion of a wiring diagram for the Coily (if someone can tell me they're definately the same as a leafy ill be rapt) OR the donk(G16A 16V TBI)!!! Can anyone helpppp?? Basically i am going to (well, would like to!!) use the G16A engine loom and the coily dash/lights ect loom..a match made very far from heaven!!

Many thanks

Almost there!!!!
So you all know Im not making this all up.......!!!

Two more things to sort and we're off - 1. accelerator Cable and 2. Injector resistor......any clues on this one guys? Is there something that i can use thats not factory?
Cheers





oh yeah, and some tidy up as well!!!!

lol, if i had of known it was an 16v motor i wouldn't of sent you the geo tracker manual. i would of sent the x90/sidekick one instead

[jono_785]

yeah for the accelerator cable i used a bike gear cable ($10). came with one end crimped. then i also bought this little gadget called a Knarps cable end made by odysseybmx ($8.00 for 2) and used that to set the custom length. cheap easy and adjustable.

hope that helps./

Cheers Jono, was thinking something like that may be the go!!

Thanks Santo, yeah, live and learn on this little exercise Im afraid, but the loan of the manuals has been a great way to learn about the engine!! Your a good man, Many thanks!! I'll put them in the mail 1st thing monday!

Ok, down to business, Ive posted a query in the electical section...
