Isuzu G-series Twin Cam

he did make a few of them, but i never heard back from them

this is my little throw together for the jamboree, spent the last 2 weeks on it after work! http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/8840/15082011001.jpg http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/8050/22082011.jpg i have had this motor for 6 years, it had a brand new 4 puck clutch on it, new head with porting an...

Ok I'll look into these F2 tubes :) I'm thinking I'll stick with the extractors I have for the time being and run the 45s. until I have everything sorted. I'm thinking I will be putting a turbo on it further down the track (ie. next year) I'll keep the extractors and cut them down and use the flang...

yep surely are! small world eh?
LOL

yea the damage was bad, but i could of fixed it

but by the time i got onto it, guys in japan had already cut the rear quarters off, taken the wheels and tank!

cest le ve!

nah mine are a little deeper and they angle up a few degrees off the head

pics soon, the guys doing the casting are actually bellet/wasp guys from up here

cheers

dunno, could be i have had these for ages, i thought they were aftermarket ones, as they are 2 piece, and have a tapered bore

cheers

hey guys, i have a local bloke who has started to make copies of my sidedraft manifolds to suit the DOHC motor, he made a mould of mine and has started to do make replica's, if you want a set they will be $280 pr plus post, pics soon this is a lot cheaper than buying from japan, they come with studs...

hey blokes, check this out! this is the last of the ZZ/R's, a ridgey didge black top front cut! it also came with the diff, front seats, bootlid, rear lights, mirrors etc i got lucky with this one, fresh from japan, i tried to get the whole car last year but as the roof was damaged they already had ...

no good measuring my intake manifold as it has been fairly ported

on a DOHC bigger is better, 45mm sideys were the preferred choice for most in the know

cheers

harry, here is a pic of the jap ones, if your net savvy u can get them yourself thru yahoo auctions.... http://img263.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/3/8/9/5/shakekun-img512x384-1184301528yahoo_dohc_117-1.jpg 22,750 yen w/o linkages or 40,000 yen with then u gotta factor in deputy auction charges and shi...

get rid of the intake, unless u wanna belt the shock tower, change the oil filter mount then go for it!

i would love to drive a 1600 dohc, i am very familar with how the 180 and 200's go, but i reckon the 1600 would b a little screamer!

ps i got lots of dohc spares if u need help

cheers

hahaha, i dont hoon these days, the car is worth too much to risk!

got the zz/t registered on thursday!!! am very happy

got a few issues raisin their head with the ignition, but i will sort it

good show todd...but u coulda used a diesel mount

u gonna come to the skid pan? looks like there are gonna be 2 dohcs there!

no vehicle i have ever heard of has a locker, sure u can get some 4wds from factory that have lockers, but these are a part time switchable item

no passenger car maker would do it, even more so with the beetle as the transaxles were fragile at best in the early days

opps i forgot to look for one in my spares

will do 2morrow

these motors were never sold new in OZ so parts are harder to get

best thing to do is just find a s/hand one, use it then reco it when needed, as most of the parts are the same as sohc

cheers

sounds like u got a sohc starter

i will look and see if i got a spare dohc starter 2day

cheers

or maybe u need a diesel sway bar

i would explain it but believe it or not i have not done a timing chain / tensioner refit yet!

might do soon on the zz/t as the welsh plugs on the head are gettin corroded

cheers

the other option is to use a diesel diff and buy a new Quaife 24 spline lsd but that would cost big $$$$

cheers

the good news is the clutch packs are high tensile steel and simply do not wear, the sun gears do wear but mine were serviceable the main prob is broken teeth on the gears, but u can substitute diesel parts too the bearings are easily gotten locally my centre i got from japan was ok, the diff shop m...

didnt you read my zz/t build up dude? i got a centre from japan and had iit fitted locally, they machined up some new thicker shims so it would lock earlier basically there is nothin to rebuild inside, just new shims / bearings and maybe a good lapping mine is toight to the point of chattering the w...

you most probably will need a rear brake upgrade to the same specs as the car the dohc came out of

the motor will bolt in no worries without mods

so basically it should be pretty easy
