Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone knows of someone or a company that do gti conversions for the Sierra in Melbourne. Example: installing the engine, loom etc and getting it to perfect working order? I'm not very mechanically minded unfortunately and don't really know anyone who is. Cheers. |

Mostly, the GTI conversion is now superseded by G16B 1600 efi 16valve engines out of a Vitara. Biggest issues with a GTI are all the motors are old & many copped a flogging, the torque / rev range is not that well suited to a 4WD, dealing with the distributor is a PITA - there are various ways round it, but none are 'great'. A G16B is a better thing for drivability in a Sierra, with an adaptor kit, it's pretty much a bolt in job & wiring kits are also available. Biggest issue with the G16B is that they have been known to crack the block between welsh plugs on the P/S, towards the rear (hidden under the exhaust manifold). This doesn't affect the way the engine runs, but can weep coolant. Good luck with it. Rgs, Michael |

Cheers buddy. So you are saying that the vit motor is more worth while? Just wanted it to be a bit quicker than it is now lol. |

G16b from a baleno is plentiful and imo look the neatest. I have a vit g16b in one and a baleno in the other. The baleno is a much neater finished product (pic borrowed from DiscoS' build thread) and clears the bonnet better. ![]() Check out this thread viewtopic.php?f=4&t=52441 The intake hose from megazip fits the stock airbox in the factory position. It was just over $100 for the intake pipe, and plastic adapter to remove the warm air intake valve. The above includes a jimny intake manifold and extractors. I need to finish off tidying up the wiring on mine now it's finished, but ill post a pic if I remember. I used the baleno intake manifold, exhaust manifold and ran the radiator hose under the intake (I made my own passenger side engine mount). An 8v g16a from a vit can be done in a day. A g16b from a baleno and vit takes a while, but is very very worth it. |
