Thats a really bad fit.

The better ones are when the pipes are offset to each other.

So even if you hammer them, looks like the left pipe might be half crushed for clearance, then how close is they other to the chassis??

What make and number are they?

[Ratty562]

There's ones are Jimny Hurricane extractors



This is the other side

[BlueSuzy]

Are you able to take them back? Say they don't fit right on your jimny, ask for a different brand.

[sogone]

I just used a grinder to take the corner of the chassis mount off. Not running a body lift. Mine are extractors of unknown origin, maybe PJ.zook will see this and comment on what they are. Pete ran a 1 inch body lift I think and they cleared well.

[tanshi]

we had a similar issue, just setup in a press and flattened them slightly.

[Ratty562]

Yeh mite give them a call see if they have another brand first. Not that keen to hite it with a hammer just ATM

So going by the posts at the start of this thread, to run the Baleno dizzy motor I need a Vitara cam and right angle drive? I assume the Baleno harness and ecu are fine with this combination.
Is this the only option other than cutting the firewall up?

Dont cut the firewall mate. it will never pass for a mod plate. also the baleno dizzy sticks out heaps so it would be well and truly in the firewall. i bought a running 95 baleno to do a swap a while ago.
but it is to good on fuel and couldnt be bothered to do the cam and dizzy crap so i looked around some more and i found one =)
so look around if you havnt already found a motor. there could be a nice coil pack g16b just around the corner. i just found one for $350 including ECU and harness.
so im just about to get my conversion build up and running. =)

Here's my "lengthened" Baleno fuel pump.
The return line is still a little short. I can't see it being a problem though, as the fuel will be returned to the swirl pot anyway.

Where abouts did you get your pump from and how much did it set you back and also with fuel lines where did you get the EFI lines from ??

[CairnsZook]

Fuel pump and flange came out of a 2000 Baleno at a wreckers in Hobart. No idea how much it cost, it was a while ago now.
Tip: snip off the pink and black wires and take the plug too.

Fuel lines were purchased at Supercheap. You don't need many, as you can use your existing steel lines.

Just wondering if the vl engine mounts would be suitable for a g16a 8v in a sierra. Have you got the part numbers for them.

[BlueSuzy]

YEp they will fit. They will make the motor sit abit taller. make sure you have clearance to the bonnet.

Vl mounts with the 6cyl rb30 motor.

Here is the ben t install instructions
Im doing this atm and this looks like the best place to add this.

Jimbo that link looks like it will be super helpful!

can I use the vitara engine fan on the baleno water pump?

Thanks Steaks, I ordered one from there this arvo.
Also got new clutch cable, gearbox bushes, and gearbox plugs (cos I had to chisel one out )

Those mounts look good Phil, I'll get some of them too


Here's my very flash machined flywheel:



And my pink HD clutch:



All bolted together

What gear box is that ?

[Gwagensteve]

Sierra 1.3

[Wazz]

Looks chunkier than my 1.3 box :S

Good info in here, CairnsZook, is your zook body lifted?
Does the lift affect the fitment of those Hurricane extractors?
I ask because mine isn't lifted and I will be fitting the same engine.

[CairnsZook]

Yep, 25mm body lift.
Lift does not affect extractor clearance. My extractors do just touch the gearbox though. (Like Ratty's pic on the previous page).

[Virt]

Cheers mate!

EDIT - should have read the thread again... found my answer!

Just adding to Cairnszook's great baleno conversion thread. This is what I have done with the coolant hoses intead of making a hard line which runs over the headers which some people do. As Cairnszook has done I used the early model swift thermostat housing -> baleno top hose -> 28mm temp sensor adaptor -> ford laser top hose -> factory sierra radiator. It seems to all fit really well and clears everything. I'm running the factory sierra temp sensor in the adaptor so I don't have to mess with the factory temp guage. The other hoses are factory sierra bottom hoses to the factory sierra coolant pipe on the back of the water pump.

part numbers: MACKAY radiator hoses from supercheap auto.

baleno hose - CH2068
laser hose - CH2261
28mm adaptor - $15 from ebay

That works really well, one of the neater ways around the problem.
Don't forget to mod and put the intake manifold brace back on.

I nearly forgot about that manifold brace, I removed it when putting the sierra engine mounts on because it wouldn't fit. I guess I'll have to modify it to make it fit?

[frysie]

so the E-W configuration on the baleno can go N-S ?


i got a 2000 model baleno 100k on the clock with a 5 spd (full car) ill be ripping stuff out of. This is the configuration (not the same car obviously) .

what should i scavenge from it, before i roll it down the hill

[frysie]

edit - yes its a coiley tank lol

[azzas15]

Hi Mate

Engine, loom, cluster

[frysie]

Ate the two heater hoses that go into the baleno heater box usable on the sierra or should I just cut them off?
