Re: oct 19th run
 

I have to say sorry for that one, I had the Darn cam with me and never hooked it up on the last couple runs. I think I took a short one on this last one, but I have not even looked at it to see if it was worth posting.

Re: oct 19th run
 

Well Rob, Id say I have a perfect fix for your motor issues...

I got a 16valve waiting so see 7000rpm in the green beast. :)
All the Wiring and ECM included.


Anyone know where I can get a pair of toyota axles from ROB? lol

Yes, that my little sunrunner that fell on it`s side.
Broke a rear axle and front spiders from that incident. Still Drove it back to the road though.

Re: oct 19th run
 

yes 16 valve's are nice BUT they are not as reliable as an 8 valve. and the 16 valve has an interference head and the 8 valve is not just look at what most of us on ZOOKPOWER.ca are using 8 valve and most of them use the sammy t case with toy axle's and they drive them on the street as well.

why not drive a yota... 2.4 litre is ------- BOMB PROOF even big T proof which is insane!

Re: oct 19th run
 

I`m not going to knock any motor. I started with an 8 valve. I blew it up. I am very hard on parts. I enjoy beating on my truck. I have had a 16valve for a year now. It has considerably more power then my 8 valve. If you do proper maintenance and generally take car of your junk, almost any motor is reliable.
That said, even the 16 valve is low on power for myself.
I`m switching over to a 1.9TD from a 95 golf.
Much more power, Just gotta get used to the 5000rpm redline...lol

Re: oct 19th run
 

all you zuk guys do that VW swap they are such garbage motors lol i dont get the pupose especially for usei n mud when you cant spin them up to keep your tires moving to clean them out

Re: oct 19th run
 

not to sure but that 1.9td is 100 hp and loads of torque.the 16valve rev's high but when you blow a timing belt you bend valve and 8 valve's you don't. a friend of mine has an 8 valve with 180 hp and 220 ft. the only advantage to the vw swap is fuel millage like 30 to 40 mpg. I'm in the middle of building an 8 valve myself with an 89 wiring harness :twisted:

Re: oct 19th run
 

pretty much what i was thinking steve!

the TDI is an over rated swap forsure id build a 1.6 they are friggin GREAT motors


and i wanna go do the GAC as well lol maybe 09 ill have the new truck out and a bus to haul a few trucks up and camp out of

Re: oct 19th run
 

hahahaha man yota motors arent bomb proof. my 22r threw a rod straight out the block with me driving it. and i think thats the second or third time that motor had been rebuilt from spinning bearings.

Re: oct 19th run
 

do you not see that motor running with no oil and a window in the block???

all engines can be crap depending on lots of diff ----... ive had one 22re at 4000000kms with like no work done not even timing chain
and 2 more are 230 000kms and still pass a etest better than a civic lol

but in reality all cars are junk its true!
