i was under the impression that they were the same but with 4.1 gears.
mines a 96 widetrack. but 38" tyres would be nice, u will just have to wait and see whats in store. im going to make this one a little different

Whats with all the build threads in 'Suzuki tech'?
I thought they were supposed to go in the "Members" section.

Jas.

wt marutis have 1.3 sized diffs and axles, however as i found out last week the flanges are nt and the splines are a poofteenth different so you can't swap flanges. :bad-words:

x2, they are WT diffs with 4.11 gears. However I didnt know that about the flanges :? Does that mean they are NT driveshafts?

what engine mounts are you using? i used AE71 mounts for my 4A and one small bit of plate and it slid right in no fuss at all

Posted: Fri Nov 14, 2008 5:55 pm

reinforced suzuki mounts with a plate which will last about 2 minutes me thinks. had probs trying to locate 71 corolla mounts in w.a

the lean is standard. when i bolted my age up to my 3sp auto, i made the flange on the auto sump sit level, when i did this it sat the motor on a slight lean.

i used 70x35 rhs for the brackets, they were welded to a 4mm plate and bolted to the engine block. i used engine mounts from an f series holden.

all of it was custom done to get the engine to line up properly.

should be fun when your done.

i read a up a little on people using the 7afe block and bolting on a 4age head creatinga 7age.... 1.8l twin cam... more torque and usable power.


anyway good luck with your build.

would be a good idea to post this in members so everyone else who has not yet see the light of zooks can drool at it! keeps everyone happy too!

Really? I don't remember this from my 4age zook, or are you talking gze's & auto's only?

yeah except it doesn't work..
you end up with something around 7.0/1 compression and no power..

good for turbo or supercharging but still to low!

when i set up my motor and box bolted together, i set the front crank bolt and rear gearbox output at the same height from the ground making it level north south.

i used a level to make the auto sump flange sit level east west.

when i did this it sat my engine on a slight lean.

i wanted to have the auto sitting correctly.


but in saying all of this, when driving trails when is the zook ever going to be level :?

well if i go ahead with the rest of the conversion i will have to upgrade to hilux diffs ect.. so i have come up with another idea which will still use hilux and suzuki parts but will allow me to run a much larger capacity motor. But i need to get rid of the 4agze and rwd box first or the mrs will kill me

ahhh begins and ends.....get a hilux if you want hilux diffs.....and then you can go 4.0litre v8....then upgrade to sixty diffs....then gq diffs.............
