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.

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.

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!

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

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

noshine

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:

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

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.

bigt

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!
