Oh more pictures added to the engine conversion write up

Hi Cider

The lower supports of the shock absorbers are extremely weak (front and rear)

Time ago I had to weld the rear left and reinforcing both front

May seem a silly question but why do you swap the injectors for these green baleno ones?

I had planned to use the GV inlet manifold but before fitting I found the cold idle is different plus the height
maybe an issue, So I had to use the jimny manifold. What I found on this site it was proven that the engine would run fine on baleno 1.6 injectors in the jimny manifold.
When the conversion was finished and the engine running well with the baleno injectors I tried the GV injectors as There was no info that they would fit on/in the jimny manifold. Plus as the baleno injectors are harder to find now
it might help someone if they knew their conversion would run on gv injectors

Hope this is a sensible question are the 1.3 singel cam coil packs the same a s the gv 1.6 singel cam as my engine iv got didn't come with coil packs attached just wondered if my original ones would run properly I gess they would fit but do the run right personally I can't see why not as I'm running the original wireing loom
