Can someone help me, do one of these engines(if they're the right one) have the correct carb for my 1.6 8v vitara engine i've bought.

One is a '98 and one is a '99 so i just wanted to check before buying the carb

Cheers

Neither are carbs are they? looks like single point injection to me and they look the same.

He's right... The vitara carb looks pretty similar to the standard SJ carb

I did think they might of been spi, but thought I'd post up and double check
Awk well :(
Can't believe how hard it is to find a standard 8v carb :(

Do you need a standard carb have you considered going straight to SU? Even if you fit it on an elbow adaptor it'll get you away.

how different is the intake on the 1.6 manifold from the 1.3, will a 1.3 carb fit on or are the mounting holes different?

Will the SU fit under the bonnet with an elbow adaptor?

I couldn't tell you how different the mounting holes are between the 1.3 and 1.6, hopefully someone will know

Some adaptors clear the bonnet, some don't. Mine didn't but that was the way I fitted it, I was missing a carb to adaptor spacer so had to use a adaptor to manifold spacer which raised the carb up.

The 1.3 carb wouldn't be set right for a 1.6 and would probably end up running badly / under powered.
