8v vs. 16v Vitara Engine
Mart:
wish mine had a x-flow and some 40's on it lol i'm far more familiar with the simple ford engine with a set of carbs on than that carb if thats what they call it in the sammy, time for a nikki me thinks
Evilgoat:
--- Quote from: "Paul.K/LuckyTrucker" ---Hi there, there are many diesel engines more suitable than a transit engine. It is far too heavy for an Suzuki and only 70bhp if it is an old one.
Vauxhall Nova, Peugeot 1.7/1.9 and I am sure there are others.
My Samuria has a 1.6 x flow Ford petrol engine, all the power I want for off roading.
Best of luck

Theres more than a couple of nice light high power alloy engines around now too. I would imagine most weight less and are more compact than the power plant you have.
Mr T:
Hey Brummie Lee,
tell me more about these there leaks, my vitara is an 8 valve (i think), it has a constant drip of oil, can't tell where its comin from, cause its all over the side an underneath of the engine.
you know i'm a brumie, but i emigrated to devon. deres more lanes down ere!
P.R.Howler:
The Transit lump/box is free, or Sierra/5 speed for £50 the whole car, so will decide soon, mine will be an every day motor too, so need something with a bit of reliability to it

mine seems to loose it from the rocker cover and the dizzy mounting. Rocker cover was cured by re-torqueing then cover bolts. Not done the dizzy yet.
