Title: 2.0L IN FIRST GEN. TRACKER
Post by: FOXXIE33 on November 06, 2011, 02:35:35 PM

HI GUYS. I JUST AQUIRED A COMPLETE 2000 2 DOOR THAT HAS BEEN LIGHTLY TOSSED ON IT'S SIDE. IT HAS THE 2.0L AND AUTO SETUP. I'M GONNA PUT THE DRIVETRAIN IN A 93 2 DOOR. I WAS HOPING SOMEONE COULD TELL ME WHO MIGHT MAKE A PRE-FABBED SET OF MOTOR MOUNTS FOR THIS CONVERSION. ANY HELP OR INFO ABOUT THIS SWAP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

It would also be nice it you didn't post all in uppercase - it's hard on the eyes.

Blending the wiring is going to be the big problem, and now I see that one of out Venders will convert the wiring for you.  I did a similar swap 2005 v6 to 93 Tracker, and I sure wish that I had the donor car.  Instead of changing out all the wiring, I just integrated what was needed for 93 and to satisfy 2005 computers.  I did spend a lot of time checking pinouts, and making conversion tables.
Have fun.
And my automatic is just great off road.  (Of course the extra power helps.)

If it were me, I'd swap as much wiring and fuel delivery as humanly possible from the donor into the old kick. By that I mean, the only splices would be for lights at the corners (well, within reason).

P.S. I used to get crap about running a "slushbox" auto on trails, but the advantages of that "torque converter" and "auto gear shifting" do REALLY come into play. Got to keep it cooled properly, but it's designed to "slip" (and therefore transform hp to torque).
A manual either slips the clutch and/or has to be shifted.

Thanks for the help guys. I think I'll use the motor,auto,tc, wiring harness, fuel tank and pump, and try to fit the cluster in too. I'll need to fab engine mounts, and an electric fan. Shouldn't be too bad to do. I hope the power will be better. I mainly want to get rid of the timing belt for backcountry reliability.

First question - why would timing belt reliability be an issue?  Change it every 100,000 miles and you're good to go.
Second question - what makes you feel a chain be any more reliable than a belt?  I'm guessing you're unaware that the 2.0 has it's own history of timing chain related issues ...

But don't mind me - I have two Suzukis, one with a belt and one with chains  ;D
