Not in Australia I believe.

Apparently coily engines have a bad reputation for failure, anyway.
But I don't know if this is deserved.

Do you know what engine number is? eg G13BA?

I dont know whether that is true or not. Not many differences between the G13B and BA. My cars done 150,000kms so far with 2 p plater drivers, and me giving it a hard time and still pulls strongly, no smoke whatsoever.

when starts showing signs of death, im planning to buy a jimny engine (if i can find one, and mate a SC12 supercharger to it, run it off a afc (if it needs it) and drop it in (with a little adaption).

All fun, all needs money.

AAHHHHH who starts all these crazy coily failure stories apparently everything is weaker and everything is unrealiable, what a load!!

anyways injection was a factory option on the coilies that nobody opted for, crazy monkeys...

coily engines arnt any different when it comes to smoking pulling etc, the problem with them is a dodgy batch of pistons. some may last for ever but from what I have seen the majority of coilers will have piston failure (the skirt breaks away) before 200,000kms

yes the sj80s did have a bad batch of pistons.

they did as sam said come with single point injection as a factory option, but not too many purchased it as it was very expensive.

s.h.i.t. so im destined to have a engine failure before 200,000kms. Damn, better start looking for that jimny engine.

i rebult mine at about 95000 kays

number 4 piston the skirt broke and the oil ring ended up in the sump


and at that stage it hadnt really had a hard time

But your Hard Cored!

I was under the impression that the 97 coily's did have the injection.. but RB told me the other day that his didn't.

get a jimny engine....i did

yer im going to keep my eye out soon as ive got a bit more dosh in the bank, jimny engines are rare and expensive, but will be worth it in the long run. piss this carby s.h.i.t.

My local Zook wrecker (suziworld in Melbourne) seems to wreck more Jimnys than Sierras lately, so I'm guessing Jimny parts will get more common and cheaper in the future.

200,ooo!!!!! Dont tell mine, just pushed over 240!!! Sure a little smoky, but only if i put oil innit!!!!!

Thats good to know, i hope the same is happening here in the west. Does anyone know which side the jimny's air intake sits on. I.e. is it the same side as the carby sierras (drivers side) or does in intake from the passenger side. im thinking its the drivers side.

perhaps the pistons had already been replaced when you bought it.

EFI was an option in 97/98 models. i wasent aware about the piston issue, but as jayden said. the motors still go hard (in relation :p)
i know nothing about the EFI motor... i have a feeling it was the same motor as the jimny, but hey! just a guess :p

FYI (Australian production models):
-G13A (1324cc SOHC 8V carb) used in Sierra (and Swift) 11/84-6/89
-G13B (1298cc DOHC 16V EFi) used in Swift GTi 86-98
-G13BA (1298cc SOHC 8V carb) used in Sierra (and Swift) 7/89-98
-G13BB (1298cc SOHC 16V EFi) used in Jimny (and Carry) 10/98-6/00

no no the efi motor available in australia was just single point injection and was still classed as the g13ba.

the jimny ones are multipoint injected and are g13bb's and the newer one is the m13a
