Everyone else...

     Swaps and blowers (turbo and super) seem to be the hot topics....any other suggestions?
Maybe if the budget can take it combining the two...say a 2.0L long block build with a turbo into an 1600/8valve Side kick.....because of the expense that would be a long term project not a quick build ( Thin budget guys).

I vote for the 16v. Start of simple, with a little pre-planning you can add on to it later and show thechange in performance with the different components, turbo, etc.

I may have to read up on the subject at what compression is ideal, but I'm guesssing it's between 15:1 and 18:1 without having to worry about preignition on diesel.

Uhh try 24:1 for good diesel performance, these aluminum
heads can't take that much compression, as well as the shape
is wrong. Diesel heads need almost no CCs and are built as
flat as they can, the pistons are made of cast iron in heavy
diesel engines, I don't know what is being used in the smaller
engines, and the piston shape has a doughnut shape hollow
with a tit in the center, the fuel ignites in the hollow.

If you go lower compression, like 15:1 or even 18:1 you will
need glow plugs to get it started. In short, you need a custom
head  and then the block would probably not hold up.



no no, not a full diesel, still run spark plugs,  just a very high compression engine.  I know if you have diesel fuel in the cylinder (port intake) it'll ignite before tdc and wont work, hence the lower compression and plugs.  maybe mix gas and diesel 25-75%

Well everybody got out voted by fate

     The next engine is going to be a 1600/16valve, the reason is simple.

My wifes Sidekick has decided to start smoking, I know it's valve seals and I was planning on living with it till the 2.0L was built. But over the weekend it has decided to make some lifter noise up top.

Needless to say, Happy wife-Happy life. It's gonna get pulled and replaced.

The 2.0L is no where near ready to be swapped so I am on the hunt for a decent 1600/16valve core to overhaul while the current one is good enough for in City use.

The plan is....
- Top line overhaul, including rebore.
- Redo the head, 3 angle grind, back cutting seats and valves, light polishing'
- Progressive grind camshaft
- Windage tray mods and crank scraper
- Header, probly Calmini
- 20% speed reduction crank pulley
- Open up the air intake system, add a cold air induction

While I collect parts I'm going to be looking into creating a chip for it and some other goodies.

I will keep you guys posted as I get close to doing the work.

Sounds good Zag. When you do the cam may I suggest that you have material added before grinding the profile so that the base circle isn't reduced. I know it will cost a little more but broken rockers are a pain in the %|removethispart|@# and this is what will happen with a smaller base circle.

sweet, something to look forward to. i was hoping you'd decide on the 16v. if you need a place to grind you cam, you can contact a place in bc called colt cams.

go zag  :)

Hi

     The 1300/16v make power up way to high for me. The other part of the deal is that the 1.6/16v actually flows almost as well as the 1.3/DOHC 16v. So by doing a little massaging I can end up with the 1.3/DOHC 16v hp, more torque and all at a lower rpm. Cheaper.
