Need Mud Boggin Motor
« on: June 27, 2007, 04:37:16 PM »
I was just wondering which would be better the 1.6, 2.0, or the 1.9 turbo diesel for mud boggin. I was also wanting to know if anybody had any experience with the AAPA Sumo 2 1.3 and if its any good.

Have you given the Mazda Rotory a thought? A turbo rotory would be fun slinging some mud, you wouldn't have to worry about a red line either. >:D

Between the 1.6 and the 2.0, the 2.0 takes it I'd have to say. More power and torque.

The 1.9 turbodiesel would be interesting though. Gobs of torque so you can run big tires without having to regear.

Im trying to keep it a 4 cylinder mainly just to brag to my uncle that i can beat his v8 ford, im also trying to keep it as simple as possible. I'm lookin into a built 1.6 16 valve right now. Thanks for yalls imput, I was just hoping somebody else bogged their sammy with a 4 cylinder. By the way how much you want for that v6 samurai and what kinda axles are under it?

One thing to remember is that 3/4 small block is way heavy over the front end. Not to mention the tranny weight.

If you want to stay with an inline 4, go with the 1.6l 16v, or maybe a DOHC 1.3l from a Swift.

And as the saying goes...... How much $$$$$$$$$$$ do you have to play with??


And don't bust my  :-X :-X's, I just lumped the sayings together.

I entered a mud-bogg competition years ago in my red samurai that at the time had 32" TSL/SX, 5 inch lift, GRS2, lockers, and a 1.6 8-valve hopped up a bit. Because of the light weight which made for a great power to weight ratio, I was able to win against several v8 powered jeeps, early broncos, and tlcs sporting 33-37" tires. Don't underestimate the advantage of a light weight vehicle. Also make the bottom as smooth as possible and remember you'll have more diff clearance with a 30" tall tire than a AMC20 equipped jeep with 33" of tire plus off-set diff which can be a huge advantage if the course has a ridge in the middle of ruts....

Hope that helps...

Stay away from the diesel.The diesel doesn't rev enough and doesn't develope power fast enough.A diesel would be good for trails and rock but not mud or snow.

Hi Samurai47 it's just a thought and I have not done the swap but did do some reasurch on the rover motor.

1) I do not know how much the zuki 1.3/1.6 weighs, I do know  that the rover motor 3.5 and buick 215 acording to Wikipedia, and Kennedy enginiring they wiegh 318,lbs

2) The buick came in gm "A" Body cars 1961-1964 at some point gm sold the rights to land rover they then were avalible in the range rover models from 1985-1996 in the forms of 3.5L, 3.9L, and the 4.2L

3) The Range Rover automatic is 4spd 1st gear =2.48:1 od= 0.728:1 and low range = 3.244:1

4)both out puts on tcase on right side

5) range rover electonics incuding ecu are prone to fail and other or after market ECU's are advisable

6) IT HAS BEEN DONE!! GOOGLE "rover v8 swap samurai" I found picks of this swap in the UK

That is all of my resuch on the subject as I am still playing with a turbo tracker motor! Cheers!
