Isuzu G-series Twin Cam

He should be able to do it seeing as he works at Ford in broadmeadows. Got another mate whos a leading hand at Dunlop South Pacific so i can ask him too.

Was going to say you sure they dont have a hole - then i remembered they dont run rockers and the cam is direct on the bucket lol

Excuse the ignorance, but from what i know the shim would be just like a flat washer only larger in diameter and with a small center hole to clear the valve right? If thats the case, any machinist could do something like that up easy. I have a mate whos a fitter and turner, all i need is the right m...

Mmm, im using Antus's TX as my yardstick and if he can make 75rwkw with a 2" exhaust, ill be shattered if mine doesnt :oops: Peter, the late model GSXR's actually use quad throttle bodies not carbies. The ones im after are a 46mm butterfly with a 275cc injector from memory. Should be plenty for...

reground cams seem to work in the SOHC's fine...for that price, im assuming the WADE cams are regrinds as well. Any info on what other profiles they have availible? Also, no mention of them saying to change the buckets? Im abit dubious as to this shim - i can see it gaining more lift that way. Unles...

Been saying for a while i want to put an N/A DOHC in a Gemini, well, things are now falling into place. First puzzle piece to make its way into the garage was a one-owner 1980 TE Gemini Sedan, stock as a rock, 99000km, no rust and generally perfect condition. Except for the front end [see below]. ht...

Although the 18RG [im assuming thats what they came out of] might be similar in size its airflow characteristics are completely different. Jetting should help you big time, but why solex's?

I know they cost money, but id ATLEAST go Dellortos.

What sort of mods besides the Kalmaker? Fuel/Ign or fuel only, what dizzy etc. Standard exhaust manifold or extractors?

Would be fun with that sort of power

Pete if i end up getting it for the price i want, ill give you a yell.

Theres a relatively cheap "package" on Ebay atm that im sizing up for my Gemini - computer, box and all. Only dilema is its a 117 Coupe spec motor with the oil filter up-and-middle.

Anyone fitted one of these to a Gemini and if so howd u go about it?

disregard this post i wasnt paying attention.

If you can lob me a pm with what state each motor is in, how complete they are, what they need, what version they are [ie oil filter location] etc with a price then come tax time we might be talking turkey. Also, heres the quad throttle info for those interested. http://msefi.com/viewtopic.php?t=6627

Pete, im not to worried about torque - im used to driving peaky 4cyl's. Hell, my "torquey" SR20DET only gets going once theres 4000rpm on board, and fook me does it tear yourballs off when it gets there lol. Id rather go 4-1 if its of benifit to top end power. Also another thing Pete, have...

Been toying with the idea of building a DOHC for a while now, and seeing as i should have my S15 sold and my Turbo Gemini running within a couple of months, im planning on building something abit pokier for my TE sedan. You know what they say, once you have power its hard to go back... If or when i ...

Eli, Yamaha did toyota heads not Isuzu.

Its rumoured that Lotus did the heads on early Isuzu motors but thats a lot of bullshit. The head is designed by Isuzu and is based on the Escort DOHC design.

Elio, .48 rear housings belong on Kei cars. A .64 rear housing is perfect for a 2L.

Might have something to do with the 4X being a short stroke 1.6L elk

Does look like a 117 motor with what looks like a JR130 inlet manifold and dizzy...

Denny im putting a set on my Gemini, car wont be running for another 6months though so ill let you know then.

Give elky or bradlez a pm, they should have some lieing around

Just been thinking abit - all the DOHC extractors ive seen fitted to engines in AUS are similar in design to SOHC engines. I wonder how much better this would be for top end flow...

can you post up the details where you got the head gasket Bursons do the VRS kits however i think theres only like two sets left in AUS. Be quick for that. Agree with the XF throttle bit as the standard throttle bodys are fair shit, especially if its the twin butterfly type. XF MIGHT be a bit big f...

PM elky on Ozgemini. Hes got a complete DOHC motor with box and twins on it, if you tell him you want to swap for the efi + computer he MIGHT be interested...

Peter, how hard does the oil filter pick up foul the front of the Florian/Bellet/Whatevernastycontraptionyourputting it now? You could use an ebay-special Oil filter relocation kit...

110hp @ wheels is a fair effort considering it makes 135hp @ fly standard.
