just brought a vitara needing work. motor half pulled to bits thought it might b easyer to put a new motor in it instead of tryin to work out what the last person has done and then finding out that there is bits missing.

might be keen on sellin it on as is if was offered the right money

there's one on trademe,

if this is any help

saw that one bit more than i wanted to pay by the time i got it to invercargill

Keep an eye out for a 2.5 motor too, they fit right in, a bit more pep than the 2L if that's what you have now.

Good luck!

sweet what other bits do i need to get it going though. i realy want something i can drop in and make it go. got my real project truck i would rather be spending time on but this was a offer to good to turn down

I might have a 2.5 block with a couple of bent rods in it if your interested. You can even hear it running. Supposedly the 2.0 use the same rods so it could be a case of swapping some parts. I probably will need the injectors for it. PM me if your keen.

yea that would work but i already half way through a project like that. just want to get this one going fast.


ok so i found a 2.5 motor complete and cheap but need to know if the loom is the same. and will the computer run it.

dont know about the loom but I highly doubt that the 2.0L ECU will work with the 2.5.

Still I have been wrong before (sometimes frequently)

Ask here, lots of smart people

Supposedly bolt in and use the 2.5 injectors. Google it, its been done a few times.

How much for the motor?

been offered the 2.5 for $300 it got droped and sump broke and few of the other bolt on bits. i think the motor should be ok though.

Sharp deal, hope it works out for you. Let me know if you need any parts.

ok so got the new h25 motor today and sat it on the ground by the truck that we got, was looking for diffrances in the to as got told i needed to change the IAC. I could not find any diffrances.

the id tag on fire wall says it is a h20 but having a better look at the motor in the truck it is a h25. now the problem i have is that all the motor looks factory as a h25 should but if it ever was a h20 in there the h25 should have some parts from the h20.
(hope this makes sence)

is it posable that they cocked up at factory and put the wrong id plate on.

is there any other difrances between the 2l and the 2.5l trucks that arnt to do do with the motor that i can compare.

What year is the car ? Is it the square or round shape ? Why are you panicking ? It sounds like the motors are identical by the sound of it. Why aren't you bolting in the new one and turning the key ? Did I miss something along the way ? Is the new motor the damaged one mentioned above ?

Cheers

that is what we r going to try. there is a dif between the two and the new bigger motor should not work without changing some bits. acourding to the ausi site that someone gave me the link for.
truck is a 1995

A factory 2.5 vitara should have the vacuum driven free wheel hubs. There should be a little pump situated on the drivers side of the strut brace and a tube going into the bottom of your front diff. They usually have ABS and airbags as well.
Chassis number should be T*61 for a 2.5. Mines a Mazda badged one so the Chassis number is TJ61W
I think the key things to use from the existing engine are the injectors and MAP sensor. I would basically just change the block, this is assuming the existing 2.5 ran correctly in the first place.

Whats your chassis number and what colour injectors do you have on each engine?

Let me know if you have any spare con rods from the old 2.5.
