newb stuff here... so a stock Samurai has like 84-86 hp????maybe 100 with lots of mods? how many ft.lbs stock? can a 16v head be used on an 8v block? cuz a 16v engine swap will prolly cost as much as the whole vehicle. newb newb newb...

Hey to all you tracker guys sorry about calling Trackers gay i was just trying to cause trouble. you guys should defend your vehicles though! dont just call me a noob anyways thanks for your help

65 hp for the samurai

But hey, ya dont go 50mph over rocks hahha

i think that in order to use the 16v head on the 8v block, you need the pistons out of the 16v engine. you would also need to use the 16v fuel injection, at the least. in my opinion, just do the full 16v swap.

If your 1.3 is in good condition then a header and carb will give a big power increase. Otherwise I would go for the full 16V engine, the bottom end is much stronger than the 1.3.

Throw the zuk motor away and go toy if you want more hp but it is truly amazing how hard you can run the zuk motor just like a timex it takes a licken and keeps on ticken

Yep if the 1.3 is in decent condition, Ive had a 1.3 SPOA samurai with 31x10.5 pull 70-75 MPH no problems all stock motor.  Now there are some cheap things u can do like KN airfilter, lighter underdrive pulley, all this does make a difference Ive done it on 2 sammys.  But the best mods you can do for it is tracker/kick ring a pinion grears in the sammy diffs, and a weber.

I have done this on my most recent samurai and its nice to be holding 7-75 in 5th gear.

you guys should defend your vehicles though!

From you?  Ha ha ha ha!

there's a 16v for sale in the garage sale. check it out.

I have not seen underdrive pulleys for sale for a long time - is anyone still making them?

Ah! Thank you!

cheapest way to up the power is just to change the engine id put a vitara/tracker 1.6 16v in there just need a conversion plate simple 97 horses
