Folks,

Is there any difference with the 1.6L EFI Vitara Motors that come with Auto or Manual Gearboxes?

Is there any difference witht he Computers that come with either of these two gearboxes.

In other words - if the eventual aim is a 1.6L Vitara Engine with EFI and a Sierra 5 Speed gearbox behind it, will an engine and computer that came with an Auto gearbox be usable?

Thanks

Depending on the box behind the motor .. if it was a non poota 3 speed then yep .. even a poota'd 4 speed auto should still be workable .. I think ..

You don't think it will behave a little strangely without the input coming from the Auto gearbox to the engine?

I guess the other question is - can anyone confirm that the computers are different between an Auto or Manual vitara?

Fear not Yug, i called up and spoke to Mick at Suziworld... Auto EFI Computers will still work fine with a Sierra 5 Speed behind them

Yes I have done it and can confirm that you should not have any problems running an auto G16 in your sierra.

are you getting the actual autobox with the motor greg?

Thanks Bazooka.

Dunno Antt. I haven't found an engine yet, but i just wanted to know if both computer types would be compatible for what i want, or if i needed to increase my search criteria to Manual Computers only. It looks like that is not the case.

I gather you are after an Auto gearbox?

possibly, looking to reduce the stress on the drivetrain

Maybe you could just start buying your groceries in smaller weekly purchases rather than once a month.

to use the auto ecm...you need to bypass the auto shifter so you can start it...

But it will still work okay?

How do you bypass the auto shifter?

For the auto starter problem, isnt there just a switch for when the auto is N or P it is the only time it will start. So find this wire and connect the wires together. Or put a switch on it and use it as an eninge imopiliser.

yes it will work fine.....i cant remember the wire colours...but you use the starter wire ig..ive got it on paper somewhere ...ill find it and post it up...
