ay fellers I have a question - this might sound stupid but - do the old model jimny's/sierra's/samurai's have a/c?

when i say old model - i mean the old shape, JA11/JA12 chassis, not the new shape that around for a couple years now (JB23)

if not, how easy is it to install?
I'm thinking of buying one but I would like a/c!

[VK-Sportsman]

SmokeyGTi,Yes some of them came with A/C from neal & massey(i think).Mine has an aftermarket one built around OEM parts.

The foreign used sierras come with original factory A/C.Or you could just buy the foriegn used OEM A/C and hook it up.

[VK-Sportsman]

Power Freak,if u do a web search,you'll get more info.But I do know that some of them use the GM 105amp alternator.Ask the electrician which one he recommends.

if anyone needs the fsm for the baleno 1.3 1.6 or 1.8 or the swift gti g13b......I have it.......$300.00 or trade.....DIllon 717 0407

[~Street Sleeper~]

Can anyone tell me of a suitable engine swap for the Swift

[VK-Sportsman]

dillon, wats an FSM?

~Street Sleeper~, for the swift a common swap would be the GTi 1300,thats all i know of ,cause the original 8 valve 1.3 is a very good engine...

[~Street Sleeper~]

hmm that GTi engine.. is the Swift turbo engine? .. are parts readily available for that?

What abt a starlet turbo swap? any info there?

[dillon]

FSM is short for Factory Service Manual

[Funk_Master]

some day i end up using the range on a road in mayaro.. normal paved road... the jeep had a serious launch and just start flying jed! if ah put in an air suspension in she and drop in the v6 engine ah cud cut ass on the strip in 4x4 mode! ent??

[VK-Sportsman]

Funk_Master, but if you read your manual .....4X4 low range is for a low speed. 4X4 high range is for normal driving.But then you would put wear on the drivetrain.

Remember it's a part -time 4WD. Not AWD like an evo or wrx.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Street Sleeper~, the GTi is N/A......it can be turbocharged.......check
http://www.teamswift.net/viewforum.php?f=6 or page 6 of this thread.

Some guys have gone the starlet way......but i don't know anything about them.

[Funk_Master]

well the transfer case info label says that the 4H could be used for normal drivin but it would burn more gas .... anyhows it was a one time ting hopefully until ah go on a trail sumwhere wit allyuh! btw sportsman ah join yuh on zorce also... same name..

[Power Freak]

any idea whether or not i will be able to get a turbo imney bonnet scoop? can i bu the scoop itself some where or do i have to buy the entire bonnet?

[VK-Sportsman]

yea you could get the jimny turbo bonnet foreign used.One thing.....the jimny turbo hoods are lower while the samurai bonnets have a raised bonnet but no scoop.

[Power Freak]

thanks man ........butsee thing is i kinda wanted the scoop alone as i want to use it in an escudo application ......so maby buying a whole bonnet might not be that feasible.. probably making one with similar specs is the best option yes..thanks again

aye fellas, now joining d club, got a pbg grand vitara, and run into some pressure lately.
I recently hit a hole, more like a black hole with the left side and damaged some suspension parts. Went to the company, bought the stabalizer bar rubbers, stabalizer linkage, but when i heard the price of the shocks, I stopped. The front shocks were 1583 for each of the front, and 500 for the back. The back were reasonable, but the front is to expensive in my book. Any one know of where i can get new suzuki parts besides in the company.

I really thought that alot more was damaged, but nothing happend to the shocks. Just the stab alier bar rubbers and the linkage got damaged and the back wheel got bent. Not the rim, just the tyre. Pretty good considering how hard i hit the hole.
