Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi, I have a 97 zook. Someones probably asked this before in the past but I need some suggestions as to whether I should get extractors put onto my standard 1.3L engine.

How much more power should I be expecting if I get the extractors put in with the standard engine?

How much would it cost to get a GTI or 1.6L engine put in?

Also, sometimes when I go around round-abouts or corner hard my zook just suddenly looses all power! Is this a known issue? I was told apparently by an experienced mechanic that it's the carby & that when the zook gets on an angle the fuel level goes to one side & so that would be the reason why I lose total power. It happens probably 1-2x a week depending if I don't accelerate on curves.

Thanks in advance! I've been meaning to get onto the boards to ask.

Corners = carby or fuel pump.

extractors = yes. power gain sfa but with an exhaust can unleash at least a couple hp and more is better in a sierra (bout 2-300 for extractors and extra 200ish for exhaust)

gti/1.6 16v - 500-5000 depending on how much u can do urself and how much u get the engine for.

1.6 carb, dont bother i say unless 1.3 is farked or can get the 1.6 cheap.

easy conversion as it only needs a conversion kit (200) to fit it in. wiring same.

losing power on a fast corner with right foot can also be the zuk lifting the inside rear wheel on the corner - they do that =)

expect zero power but more noise with just extractors fitted.
U need a 2inch system + extractors for best results dont go bigger than 2"

ive priced exaust systems at a few places 2'' extractors and cant get much change out of 700. cheapest was 580 and they were gonna use the same cat. i personally think this is a bit much, just wanted to know what everyone else recons.

I grabbed extractors, highflow cat and a flexy/sectioned 2in system from Liverpool Exhausts... money well spent

keep hunting round. my 2" zorst was 150 and the guy even transferred to my next zook for 50 bucks (inlc new rubber mounts all round..)

Your little white Jimny has quite a sweet note. I heard it a few times at TTC.

Layto....

i had a 97 coil sierra, had it pushed 90ks against the wind going up the coast on the free way, extractors fitted - 110ks in the same spot.

coil sierra extractors are worth every penny.

So Squik, extractors are the go on the M13A as well?!? Since I have gone to 34's I am laboring the engine a little more at higher speeds. I already have a 2inch ish exhaust.

Best thing you can do to any Jimny is extractors... the standard system is very tight. Make sure it's mandrel bent though...

Layton... yeah, a little too 'cranky' at times, sounds like I'm backing off in 1st Low at 110km/h

My mate and i fitted one of the weber kits off of ebay and a set of extractors + a 2 inch straight through exhaust and boy did it gain some power, id estimate it at about 15-20 horsepower. whole lot cost around 750 dollars.
but for an extra 1k on top of that ( roughly ) you can get a g13b installed, and with a power increase from 47kw-74 kw its a better bang for your buck. Especially with that 8k red line

Is there any type of extractors to stay away from

Just got a set of extractors and 2 inch system (minus the cat) for 500 and i am very impressed. Gave me heaps more down low and also improved alot it at highway speed. Think it might need a cat though cause when i have the rear flap up, it gets very fumy inside, especially at low speeds through the bush. Think it needs a good tune though so i might try that 1st
