Limequat's 4.2l I6 Swap

[IJ.]

Almost there

What are you going to do about the ride height?

Almost there

What are you going to do about the ride height?

Progress anyway. And the sound of an unmuffled 4.2 is certainly a motivator.

I had to apply 12V to the test line on my fuel pump to get it to run. I assume that's why it won't stay running, that line is 22 AWG connect by alligator clips to the battery.

Ride height? If you're going by the video...don't It's on jackstands. It has bilstein + eibachs.

Ahhh gotya I thought it was on the ground and that was a result of the engine mounts

What comp ratio is that thing?
(sounds nice and crisp)

Yah, that'd be pretty rediculous. Almost as bad as stock.

This is what it looks like on the ground:

10.3

Perfect for boost :naughty:

Cool figured it had to be around 10:1 to have that crackle

Nice work! Sounds nice and healthy indeed!

Are you going to have to modify the hood, or does it all fit under it?

Don't know yet. It's gonna be close!

Incredible work you are doing there even if its a "domestic" how you guys over there call them, I think its going to be a great engine for the supra

About the hood i dont think its going to fit at all, judging by the video angle.

You sure about that? I thought the US guys had the lead and Isuzu just tagged along.

 

[fixitman04]

been to shreeveport , talked with the top guys... it is an isuzu design , gm designed the body for a few isuzu trucks and got the atlas program in exchange. but at the time gm owned 85% of isuzu so i guess it is still gm.

i wonder if the 2.8 turbo diesel from lattin america is the same bellhousing pattern that would be a fun supra as well. the 3.0 v6 turbodiesel is not gonna fit but the 4 cyl might

Hmm, that would explain the odd bellhousing. I wonder if it's common to other Isuzu engines.

Awesome work, Limequat.
I'm looking forward to some more vids, and hearing it rev.
: )

 

[gonzy tunning]

WOW man thats alot of work,but u almost there,good luck man good luck

 

[limequat]

Fixed my fueling problem, there's an error on gm's pinout. Swapped a wire, cleaned up my fuel lines a bit and it now stays running.

 

[mk3design]

I havent checked this thread in a bit, but great job getting it running!

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

[Highnitro]

[limequat]
