Re: Starters for sj 1.6 conversion

It doesn't fit.

Even after lots of cutting and put an old 9 tooth gear on.

1.6 Vit Engine in Sammie. What Radiator?

Hi Guys,

Ive got a Sammie, with a 1.6 Vitara Engine Conversion.
The radiator that was fitted was leaking badly, and also the engine seems to get pretty hot.

is there a common Radiator upgrade that goes with fitting a 1.6 into a Sammie?

Re: Engine Identification

Changed lambda tonight. Seemed to make a slight improvement.

Think the next step is to seal the exhaust leak from manifold. And to peform the TPS test and adjustment.

After that I am out of ideas.

Re: Engine Identification

If the condition of the motor is unknown then I'd do a compression test, it may not be an EFI problem. Will do. Also I have noticed today a soot build up on the exhaust manifold so looks like an exhaust leak. Could this be a cause of the problem? Also noticed the Check Engine light comes on when th...
