my vitara started to give an intermitant misfire and it would only be at a specific throttle position so i have traced it back to the TPS .
Therefore i am in need of a new one does anyone now where i can get a new one ?,they are available on ebay but are around $200 + $50ish for freight (ex USA)

It's most likely your diff , mine did the same and it was the spider gear pins slogged out in the housing. There are other things that will cause this bearings ect

But ecu , loom all that will need changed ? Or will I just need a j20 ecu ? It sounds like a good idea because those j20s feel like they have good power (driven a grand vitara at work with a j20)

Yes I'm darn shure it's got 5:12 ratio diffs , the idea of supercharger only kicking in at high rpm sounds like a good idea thanks

We'll it needs to be reliable and I know suzuki a are I have had the truck 2 years now and it's Never let me down once and it's taken a fair hiding , what benefit will an upgraded camshaft give me ? Thanks for all the advice

The engine uses a air flow meter set up . Basically I just need 10-15 hp or so more to help it drag itself up hills without complaining haha. Yes I am aware of the cracking issues heads only crack on std manifold and blocks crack when you strike it unlucky only ever seen 2

Driveline is standard at the moment. Currently I run buckshot 235/75r15 tyres but am going up to 31/9.5 (or 10.5) r15s . I don't really want to have to mess around with ecu"s and tunes ect so what Are the mods I can do to the engine to get the power up a bit ? I thought I could get away with low ...

my g16b is starting to struggle a bit (up steep climbs ect ) its fine in 4 low 1st gear but sometimes thats just to slow so i go to 2nd and the engine just dies out. I was thinking of bolting on a toyota levin (4AGE) supercharger and running a low boost (5-5lb ) just to keep the torque up a bit ...

Oh bother due to where I go it does a lot of raid driving to get to the off-road spots so would need to be a reasonable tyre on the road any similar tyres that perform well off-road yet still not to bad on road ?

Looking at splashing out and putting a set of .either 31/9.5 or 31/10.5 simex extreme Trekkers on my lwb vitara ( 3" spring and 1" bodylift ) how are they for mileage ? I have got 235/75r15 Nanking mudstars on it at the moment and they are upto 45thou kms and still only half worn , and advice would ...

Are calmini arms verry pricey. ? Modifying spring seats shouldend be to hard though come to think of it , thanks

Ok yea that makes sense, I fitted the fts 3" lift springs with 15mm spacers it's got some good front ground clearance but the springs sit out on quite a bow and touch calipers at full lock, how have you people resolved this issue in the past. Cheers

thanks for all the advice the reason im staying away from 31'' tyres is the power issue but could get the camshaft ground for a bit more get up and go ?? the 235/75r15s are due for replacement anyhow, and yes you are right i suppose 4.5'' would stress the cv joints a bit much and due to where i take ...

No no body lift been considering a 1" body lift to give the sills a bit more clearance but I see no point in big body lifts because it doesent increase ground clearance and it makes for a lot more hassle (brake lines , gear levers, even more body roll around corners ect ect ) and no I have not ...

my trucks curently got buckshot 235/75r15s but am looking to go for a real meaty offroad 30.9.5r15 rather than 31's because due to it being a stock 1.6 i still want a bit of get up and go for road driving, i was planning to put diff drop brackets in but leave the struts only at 1.5' longer than ...

Hi all i have a 1.6l 1993 lwb vitara and have been running a 1.5 spring lift for the past year and the time has come to go a bit higher (larger tires ECT ) i have purchased 4x New FTS 3'' lift springs and longer pro comp rear shocks. I have fitted the rear 3'' lift springs with my 1.5'' bits4vits ...
