I ran a 8 valve swap for years, until the block cracked. Wish I did a 16 valve when I made that swap, I think the small amount of extra work would be worth it. Now I’m running a vw idi 1.6th, love the little diesel. Not fast at all, not nearly as much power as the 16v… fuel economy is great and the power it has is perfect for where is use it.

Is this what you meant by following the petroworks instructions? Doesn't seem like much detail. I saw or read somewhere that someone recommended mounting one of the engine mounts to the frame first, but I can't find the source and don't remember which side they said. "Lower entire assembly down into the engine bay. As the frame side mounts get closer to their mounting locations have your help start to align the frame mounts to the frame and start to install the original mount bolts into the frame. The rear passenger side frame mount bolt is hard to get past the mount so it is advisable to start this one first while there is no weight on the mounts. "

Hi Dan, I am pretty sure the quoted text there, was what I was referring to as instructions. Where it says, "The rear passenger side frame mount bolt is hard to get past the mount so it is advisable to start this one first while there is no weight on the mounts." I am pretty sure I started with the driver side frame mount and that was the part I struggled with. Once I went back and started with passenger side, it was much easier. Lack of instructions has been a very common thing I noticed across the board with support and parts. Usually, a quick phone call or a search across Facebook forums can help resolve most issues/struggles

Do you have power steering? I did a 1.6 16 valve swap several years ago. Now I am in the process of adding power steering. Looks like the filter box sits too deep and is going to interfere with the pump. Did you do anything in particular to accommodate the rather large filter box?
@samuraiszn Жыл бұрын
Hi Rob! That's a great observation. Power steering is definitely next on the list for me, and as you mentioned, yes, the factory 1.6L intake is definitely going to be in the way. There is a chance you could potentially hide it underneath, but it will likely be super tight.

Let's see how long your build would last had terrible experienced with single cam 16v leaking motor oil and engine crack either the head or the block. Now I only kept the 1.6L 8v, great video explaining. Suzuki was not for speed. So far no one has done what I did on a Samurai garage build. Thanks for sharing experiences.

Hi friend! Sorry to hear you had some issues with your 16v, it sounds like the block cracking is a pretty common issue.. I did already have to replace my water pump about 8k miles in, but other than that it is running really good. I plan to put a lot of miles on it this summer so we will see how it goes!

@samuraiszn6 ай бұрын
Hey Elliot thanks for the comment. There is definitely a solid increase in power/speed/torque. Having fuel injection alone is a treat, not having to assist the car with cold starts etc. It definitely drives a lot more like a 'regular car', however, there are still a few times where I find myself looking for more... Like on long uphill freeway grades and what not. I did hit 90mph on a downhill with stock gearing tho, felt pretty good

Hey there sorry to hear that you didn't have the best experience with them. I got my transmission from a guy in LA who used to rebuild them but he unfortunately is not around anymore. I have been asking around to see who else rebuilds them and it sounds like our options are super limited.... For OBD1 scanner, I am not sure. Depending on your configuration you be able to make something work. On my setup I just jump two of the ports with a paperclip, then the CEL will flash a certain sequence, and the number of times it flashes will be the code that you'd then need to search on the internet
