Isuzu G-series Twin Cam

So how far are the F & L marks from the bottom block line?

Or what is the "from black stopper" to sump/block surface distance. (Add 0-3mm for gasket etc.)

An FYI (saves a new thread...) Pinch A Part Melb (Campbellfield & Kilsyth) have ECUs ( Engine Man. Comp. )on special from Saturday 12th of March to Friday 18th of March, 2011 for $30.00. Though the sensors are needed for a proper install (ie, auto or manual ECU, then its sensors and loom - espec...

BTW - the things that can vary: - front shaft diameter (16mm or 17mm ID flywheel/crank bearing) - front shaft splines (10 x 1" or ~24 x 1") - output shaft splines AND diameter (I think coarse are all the same, but big & small diameter fine spline variations) The the front cover (small ...

Like I said, it's probably more a case of the oil level below the block. The G180W came out with 3 different sumps that I know of. That may effect the volume, as may the size of the oil filter (eg, I use a big Z9 filter on my G161U Florian/Bellett engine as opposed to the much smaller standard cartr...

Nah - GZs are different, though largely the same (I cut&shut a Gem sump with a steering-box DOHC sump). The difference between the lo & high is usually 1L (litre). What I/we should really do is figure out - for all engines - the level BELOW the block for the "FULL" oil - ie, 25mm b...

I have a ZZR or Piazza DOHC box but IMO the early Gemini boxes with .782 5th (instead of .855) are better. Hence I swap the DOHC (LHS starter) bell housings with the Gemini RHS starter bells. But there are two common types - the earlier bell with a smaller roundish alloy from bearing cover (that use...

Since this was just bumped by a short-lived spamster.... My comment above was directed at ancient technology - namely ammeters and DOHC dizzies. For those still in the dark.... Ammeters are useless. And non-shunt ammeters are potentially a hazard. They also add to unreliability. A voltmeter is not o...

Preliminary info only: Two dipsticks I have are ~218-220mm & 240-242mm. IE - from the top of the sump tube, ~220mm to the F mark & ~240mm to the L mark. There is 22mm between the 2 marks. Those dipsticks are from a G180S (G180 Jap SOHC - same block as G200W with vertical dipstick on RHS betw...

Only 'cos there's no reply as yet, and not that I know the Gemini.... And it may depend on the ECU - ie, whether Delco or PF60/117/Piazza etc original. But in the cabin (obviously). Wherever convenient - ie, with the loom - maybe under glovebox or dash (RHS) or under front seats (eg Delco). My consi...

A diesel crossmember?

IMO that's the ideal solution - then the standard GW exhaust manifold and (Bellett etc) extractors used.
Maybe to 4ZE1 etc reduction starters depending on sidewall clearance.

The guy sounds like a bit of a loser.... It's one thing to use a stock pump for an EFI, but to swap a G200W for an sr20det? You know of the G200W's approx 300Nm@2k & 400Nm@4kRPM with NO CHANGE except exhaust and maybe fuel (ie, I used twin Weber DCOE45s - but EFI was not an option for me back th...

So the Wolf is configured for the 4 & 360 dizzy?

The RH unit is the early Piazza version. It can be replaced by the Jackaroo 4ZE1 version (LHS) - they are exactly the same electrically.
They are locked dizzies - the ECU does the speed/RPM advance and the vacuum advance.

Swapping wires is the easiest... All I have so far is Green to ECU pin #1, White to ECU #12... Ah... White is REF; Green is POS. You must be running the ITEC ECU for this - else something with the ignition advance curve mapping and able to decode the 4/360 slots. Otherwise you could use any distribu...

It could be the Piazza G200W dizzy! Same guts optical as later 4ZE1 Jackaroos (but not Rodeo AFAIK). IE: Jackaroo left; Piazza Right.

Great! Another site www.mobiletvelite.com added for spam (info@, admin, :110 etc) and blacklists. I love these spamsters that make motoring safer by killing mobile devices. Don't fuckwits like that realise what these sites are about? As if we need EXTRA entertainment. Thank you Alexissss - a true co...

I'm pretty certain that's SOHC. It is not an "uncommon" shell.

Surely not the infamous Greg & Dave?

I can't find my "quality" photos.... But from my v8-killing G200W Florian prior to sale.... http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/969/weberdcoe45gtrreplicama.jpg And a pic from the old twincam site (viewtopic=163).... http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/596/id0084898208img600x4501.jpg ... whic...

Are they copies of the "GTR-Replica" copies? (AKA 117-Replicas).
With tapered bores?

Oh well, I guess the ignitor matches the ammeter....

At least you get to use the cheaper early Isuzu (Bellett etc) dizzy cap & rotors...

What sort of spec?
It it one of the 390+HP jobs?

The girls are back... I noted the latest version on phpBB 2002 is being used... I actually signed in... a mere 20 pages of "new posts" since my last.... I was disappointed to see a colleague having problems with his 18V alternator.... Let's see, it has an external regulator perhaps? And th...

Is that Aussie Feminist site down again?

Let me ponder...
... and laugh.

Anon.

I should have and old G200W piston... somewhere... (117 type).
I still haven't pulled down my eBay reco G200W (which has $1200 forgies).
I have a G180S block (Jap SOHC) with pistons...

Booster! What's that?

(Except for the Florians, none of my cars have had boosters. Don't need them with G200Ws anyhow - just change down gears.)
