Probably a little late for this bit of info but if you have sierra extractors from the old engine you can grind off the flange and make a new one to suit. I took a g16 16v ex manifold gasket to a place with a laser cutter and they made me a flange from 10mm plate in the shape of the gasket. Cost me $20. Then I got a mate to weld the extractors to the new flange and weld a nut into the pipes for the exhaust sensor and presto. Works a treat. As a side note, for the fist couple of test drives before the exhaust was fitted I found it sounded better with just the original manifold than with just the extractors. That might have more to do with the extractors being longer but boy did it sound tough!

I've fixed the temp gauge. It was upside down

This morning I drove up the road the the exhaust shop, got some strange looks going up the hill past the school
Not far into the drive, the temp gauge went up pretty high. Not quite in the red, but almost. I pulled over and the engine didn't feel that hot to touch. The gauge stayed where it was for the rest of the drive, only another 10 mins or so. When I got there, I felt the engine again and it seemed pretty normal.

As soon as the ignition is on, the gauge goes up about a quarter. I don't think the engine is running too hot, maybe I put the needle on the gauge a bit high?

edit: I ended up using the stock Baleno temp sender and Baleno gauge.

Jimny Hurricane extractors
They clear the chassis rail by about 10mm. They don't "growl" as much as my old Lukeys, but it's still a nice note.


Finished


Thanks for all your help fellas!

The eng Suzuki should of fitted..

[atari4x4]

[CairnsZook]

Here's the part number etc for the EXTRACTORS


I haven't been offroad for a proper test drive yet, but she absolutely hammers on the street
Sideways out of roundabouts, burnouts, you name it.
She even did 120km/h going UPHILL!

[jonno_racing]

Very nice mate! welcome to the world of overpowerd sierras!

[BlueSuzy]

Thanks for the exhaust number! Will be hunting for them for my lwb.

I just got some efi vitara lukey extractors from eBay and a quick fit looks to clear might just have to take out a little of the engine mount bracket.

[birko]

Did you put the air temp sensor in? cant see it in the pics.

They look a very nice fit. Are they the vl mounts? did you have to grind off the locating tab? Ive got them as as spare for when mine break just need to no if i need to grind the tab off so i can change them on track if i have to.

[xedent]

Yeah mate I just used a hac saw easy.

[mrsanto]

hey mate i am in tassie and about to attempt this conversion i was curious of what starter motor, flywheel and clutch set up you used

[CairnsZook]

I used my original 1.3L starter, ground down so it will fit. (You can also use Vit 1.6. The Baleno starter has a different bolt pattern)
Original flywheel, machined and a new spigot bearing installed.
Excedy HD 1.3L clutch.

[mrsanto]

cheers mate i am a fair way off. got the body sitting under the house chassis is off getting blasted been sitting at dodges for a while so she was a bit rusty. just wanna try to get all the info before i start looks like i will also have to buy the g13 starter and flywheel cause the car cam complete with no engine

[CairnsZook]

If you have to buy a starter, get a Vitara starter. It won't require any grinding.

Reduction starter, mine sound's like a hot rod on start up..

[tanshi]

[jonno_racing]

[tanshi]

suzi auto spares.

its pretty fast actually

[BlueSuzy]

Mine doesnt need to spin over fast. Its normlly 1st or 2nd kick then she starts. With the machined down sierra starter.

Here's my "lengthened" Baleno fuel pump.
The return line is still a little short. I can't see it being a problem though, as the fuel will be returned to the swirl pot anyway.

hey mate that part with the gold tubes that bolts into the tank, whats it from?

[CairnsZook]

If you use a Vitara EFI pump, it will bolt straight in.

[dp87]

right. ive only got the actual pump part off a vitara. i wasnt sure what car u got the rest of the tubing stuff. when u said baleno pump i gathered u just meant the pumping mechanism
cheers

[BlueSuzy]

Yeah people on here just say vitara pump, but what they mean is the whole assembly.

If you go to a parts shop for a vit pump, all you get is the pump! No mountings!

[dp87]

Did ur balano mounting plate thing fit ok into your coily tank? I just bought a vitara one today and some of the screws at the top of the tank don't line up

[CairnsZook]

My pump from a 2000 Baleno bolted straight into the Coily tank.
It all lined up perfectly. You did try rotating it didn't you? To get the holes to line up?

Edit: And notice the plug with the pink and black wires? That's from the Baleno too, made it nice and easy to wire up

[dp87]

Hey man I ended up using the vitara plate. I just opened up some of the with a round file. The baleno one looks like a better choice. Those plugs are so much better. Mine is wired using crimp connectors.

[Ratty562]

Can you take a photo for me of your exhaust. I got the same ones and it's hitting the gear box

[BlueSuzy]

How much is it hitting the gbox/ block by?

My ones here, wildcat, jim extractors, used a ballpein hammer to make them clear nice.

They are totally different now though

[Ratty562]

Yeh was thinking about getting the hammer out lol


Thats it touching without doing any of the bolts up
