What stage grind camtech did you get and how much was it if you don't mind me asking? I emailed them last week to get a price on a stage 2 grind but they never responded.

Well, it's prolly no big deal to many, but I've just installed a Vitara 1.6 into my '87 NT Sierra. Many say it's not worth the effort- but this thing hauls arse! I used a BenT adaptor from NZ, my 1.3 head, 32/32 Weber, Camtech cam and Genie headers. Suzisport supplied the oil line adaptor along with the Vitara short motor. Used an Exedy 1.3 HD clutch. Had to massage the Sierra sump a little to accommodate the 1.6 bearing caps. After dynoing the Zuki to get the most out of the carb., I am suitably impressed. Bucketloads more torque and enough mumbo to snap you back in the seat in the lower gears. Just for the record I run a Calmini 5.14 transfer and 3.9 diffs. with 31s.Will be interesting to see any increase in economy as I have nowhere near the amount of throttle being applied as before. And it's no big deal grinding the Sierra starter to fit the new motor- not when you've got a spare dead one to practice on anyway! |

did you already have gears with the 1.3? or did they go in at the same time as 1.6? |

The Calmini gears replaced a Series 1 gearset some years ago. Camtech cam is a Stage 1 grind, selected for torque and good for 2000 to 5500. Price is irrelevant now as I bought it as a regrind a few years ago. Skid pics??!! Would only be skid marks in undies first time out with new motor....wouldn't wanna see them!! LOL. |
