1.6 vitara conversion...what engine

Post by kingo228 » Sun Oct 20, 2013 12:04 pm

I know the easiest engine is the carbed engine but im struggling to find one. Can the sibgle point injection engine be fitted? What else is required?
Thanks

Electric fuel pump for one... apart from that the 1.6 8v injection engine is basically the same as the carb'd one

Like already said. As long as its an 8v you can just run the electric pump.
