hi all after some answers on the gti conversion did a serch but could not find clear answers is there a mazda dizzy that will fit in without work is there any other issues with the conversion any thorts on dizzy

thanks

when i put the gti in my zook i just cut a hole in the firewall
and made a alloy cover that bolted in the firewall and that
worked fine, plus i tiged up the standard thermostat cover
so it had a right angle insted of the standard gti one which
comes staight out the back of the block

When u cut a hole did u take out the heater. if so i think it is a rwc thing in that u have to have one.

so dose the motor bolt up or do you have to change things

Gday,

I am part-way through my gti conversion still trying to get all the parts. I decided to go for the mazda cap and rotor... the hardest part it trying to locate it!. However, in the end I put a post on the ford laser forums, and within half a day a guy was offereing me a choice of brand new or second hand caps from the 323 gtx. You need to shave the inside of the cap to fit it to the suzuki (hitachi) dizzy, and also get the dizzy shaft modified so the rotor button will fit. Details of this are on www.xfactor.net

good luck

I was told that if you start cutting into the firewall of any vehicle it raises engineering issues... is the correct?

dont know, but i have heard the same thing.

i had to mod the heater box abit but it still works fine,and down
here in tassie i just got the engine number changed to the gti one
because it's still a 1300, engine mouts bolt up gearbox bolts up
and use the stanard zook alternator plug to plug into the gti
alternator

early honda dizzy cap and rotor.leads point strait up.move engine 15mm forward,dont use thermos.

Which honda cap are you talking about? does it bolt on?

details on which honda cap would be helpful has anyone used thermo and which one or what have they done with it also is there any people in canberra area who have done the conversion thanks

i'll try track down the part no for you soon.

Honda cap

Any news on this Joe?

i also boxed the fire wall and reduced the diameter of the heater fan to suit. worked fine. the easier option to the thermostat housing is to get one off an early 1.3 swift also badged of the mb barina. this is at right angles and fits fine. all you have to do is block the old fan switch. and considering all the wiring is there i used the thermo, just bought a cheapy from supercheap- no probs! -less load on engine and you can pull a fuse for the deep water.

First i heard that a mk1 Swift had a right angle themostat..
But what's got me is that even if it was is no one ever mentioned that the g13a and g13ba heads where different. I know my themostat will not fit a dohc head.

Still Sierra heads and swift heads are different so maybe there is hope.

Be great to get a photo of a themostat from a gti next to a right angle part number 'x' from model 'y' year humber 'z' identical no modding required

dizzy cap part no.honda gh 630 rotor gh631.
you will need to shorten dizzy shaft also.

Is that just a grinder cut off the top or more to it.
