Isuzu G-series Twin Cam

Ooops, that was me. Heres pics, looks like every other microtech! haha

Computer set up run an Isuzu Piazza Twincam engine ( G200W ). This means plug and play, with a startup map already programmed into the computer. This is a complete Microtech LTX-8 fuel and ignition computer with all accessories. Brand new in box, never been used. It is the highspec model from Microt...

:shock: Are you interested in supplying some g200w (just the e stand for efi?) wiring diagrams? (Or everything) I didn't know any were in existance. A couple of years back we searched every place I could think of for some. One guy just sold his motor because he gave up. I have sinse sold mine also, ...

Hahah yeh thats pretty crazy aye. Lucky the media isn't involved, would probably turn it round to say terrorists are involved heh

Haha good effort. An educated guess? Do these askas run a twincam rwd g series layout also or are they fwd 4z series? i don't think we get them here anyway but just out of interest...

Cool, thanks for that you guys. I had just narrowed it down to being a 4ZC1 manifold but now that you point that out Poida it does make abit more sence. Abit strange tho aye! Apparntly you can just mount the 4ZC1-T manifolds upside down in a gem to clear the mount. And, I'm still not quite sure abou...

Ok, i think this guys got it all wrong because the exhaust port spacing is wrong. All G200W's that I've seen have the exhaust ports evenly spaced, but this manifold isn't. Even so the guy seems pretty set positive that hes right. Do you guys think its a 4ZC1-T manifold? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Brow...

Thanks for rubing it in :cry: . thats what i should have done brought something some one else put in the time and money to build. 3yrs and how-ever many thousands of dollars and I'll still probably get blown away by a standard bomadore. (but at least i'll look good doing it) How dose it drive with ...

Apparantly the sump gasket is the only part no one can get hold of. I'm sure there will be a way tho. That gasket goo stuff is rated at wickedly high temperature and is oil resistant so it may work ay?

That doesn't seem too bad to me. I saw heaps of zeros and shit and I was thinking whoa.. but as far as paying for things goes, its pretty reasonable.
Wives just don't understand

nah i have pretty much ruled out the afm as i have tried 3 diff g200w air flow meters :lol: isnt it good to have spares lol and tried 3 diff computers and yes i am running the original system injectors have been overhauled not long ago as well so i might be thing probs with the butterfly or tps Who...

Two of toyota most renown gearboxs will bolt up to this. I'm sure you will have a w40 at the moment? If not you can still change to a w50/w51 steel case or an alloy w55. They all came on r and t series and will certainly fit a 12r. Or even better just get an entire 18r-g engine. 2.0L Twincam, twin s...

C series diesel and G???W series engines are interchangable with the starter on the passenger side of the box. Thats perfect. Thats the bit of info I'm after right there. Thanks for that. I was always under the impression that there were no other options. So I can get a gearbox from a 2.2L (?) Dies...

Yeh that badge is cool as, id guess gemini. Deffinately not into those wheels tho.
I'd be keen as for some pics of that yellow one mate. Good res would be cool. I'm into those flares ay.

Oh I see now. So its a matter of changing the front casing of the gb rather than un-bolting the bellhousing. Sorry I'm kinda new to Isuzu gb's, I'm not sure if your familier with toyotas w and t series, they all unbolt straight from the bellhousing so almost all the gearboxs are interchangable to an...

One sollution is to get a C series rodeo bellhousing and bolt a G series SOHC Gearbox to it. Ie. remove the front half/bellhousing off the SOHC box and bolt it to the C series bellhousing. Problem solved. Nick- Really!? That is VERY interesting news. I'm not quite sure if I understand/believe you. ...

YES! I wanted that exact picture, thankyou very much!
That beautiful pictures alot better than a lesson about zz's

Have you checked the plug into the air flow meter? I had a little trouble with my G2 when cruising and idling but when giving it shit it was fine. Tuned out a wire from the afm was broken. They are very different afms but might be the cause..

Well done. Nah i had a twincam and sold it, i actually had to but one was auto, which aren't worth mucking around with as you can't get gearboxes for them (pretty much). Heaps are actually auto. And they seemed to have dried up now that I have sold my one and am looking for another!

I'm very envious...

Yeap. It was a chevette but they use the same xmember, so the mounting points are the same. Pulled the piazza mounts off from the block and bolted the sohc g161 mounts on - motor bolts straight in. Gearbox xmember needs to be fabricated (as far as i know, i needed to make one for the chevette but ge...

would you be interested in getting them from over here (NZ)? You know pf and jr mounts are different ay? The engine sits surther back in the Piazza, hence the mounts are different in the gem. When I get my new g200w I will be taking off the existing mounts (Piazza) and putting on gemini ones so I'll...

Its probably unnecessary, this forum is about twincam motors, do we need individual forums for every vehicle that came out with them? we know what cars they were and there are PLENTY of gemini forums around the place.

what about just cross referencing the sizes of the pistons or is it abit tricky to get that info?

Hehe, tell me more.
Did you get any close ups of that yellow zz/z? It looks fukn cool as.
