Bgale04 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 im thinking about droping a 4cly motor im my 93 justy. Right now im looking for a donor car with a 5spd to possibly drop the motor in because i have a en ecvt in my 93 that is burt up. I was just looking for any ideas of what to do on dropping a motor in. What i should use, and what i should do for all the wireing and all the goods. When i had the justy running even with the 75hp ecvt tranny it was fun as hell. So im just looking for some ideas on what to do. Thanks alot bgale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenaissanceMan Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 hmm.. I might recommend going for a 4 cylinder from a daihatsu, or a suzuki. Suzuki makes a really cool 16 valve 1.3 litre 4cyl, (with lots of aftermarket stuff available too) that with a little bit of tweaking might be able to fit into a justy using the donor car transaxle of course. if all you burnt up was the transaxle in your justy, whats the story on the motor? interested in selling it if its in good shape? -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgale04 Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 I would most definetly sell it but its got 210,000 on the motor But i baught it from a subaru dealership, and the guy who sold it kept it in good shape most likely had the ecvt redone and all that. cuz ecvt just dont last 210 from what i hear. But the motor fires up with no hesitation at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 How shot is the ECVT? I was thinking of a go-cart project... Might be interested in playing with an ECVT (but not for a real car!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgale04 Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 im not exactly sure how shot it is... but i know i put it into gear and it doesnt move haha. ecvt is not that relible thought, it gets really hot really easy because there are no gears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbird Man Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I wasn't aware of the justy being the same as a swift, have to research that but i don't think it is. as for the swift motor the GTi motor should fit but you may or may not need an adaptor made.

TurboXT Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 You should drop an ER27 (6 cylinder 2.7L motor) into it! That would be sweet! Or I guess a EA82T would work too. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibs Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 You should drop an ER27 (6 cylinder 2.7L motor) into it! That would be sweet! Or I guess a EA82T would work too. Rick I don't think there's enough room for either of them. But it wouldbe cool though. You will have to deal with the fact that the Justy has inverted 3 cylinder as well, and will have to swap out transmissions as well, and I don't know if a regular 4 or 5 speed out of any other soob would work. I can't give any other info, sorry. Hope this steers you in the right direction, and if I am wrong anywhere here I apologize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 ...You will have to deal with the fact that the Justy has inverted 3 cylinder as well... Would you please explain your use of "inverted"? It is not inverted in the classic sense (i.e.- crankshaft above pistons). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeEyedBandit Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 I believe he was trying for transversely mounted aka sideways mounted engine.

NorthWet Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Hey, I hear that them there HONDAS use a transverse engine. Maybe you should get one of them there HONDA engines and drop it in. Duck! INCOMING!!!! yeah sorry TRANSVERSELY. word. Based on the quality of your previous posts that I have read, I hadn't expected you to use such a... um... different... term from what you had intended. Thanks for clearing it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Im with Rick!! you could make it fit, it would just take a $h!T load of cutting and welding. hehe think of it this way if you did it first you would be a great pioneer! If you dont I might! GO FOR IT!!! <-- He's crazy dont listen to him (voices in head) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbird Man Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I think if your cutting and weilding anyway why not squeeze in an EJ20 . It might need to be stretched in the front a bit and the rad moved to the back or the hood maybe. but it could be made to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudrat357 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 You wanna get crazy and put a Justy motor in it I might be interested in selling mine, I have a 1987 Justy but the motor and two wheel drive tranny are out of a 91 or 92, I havn't been able to find a carb that will work with my 87 system. The guy I bought the car from told me the motor and tranny were taken out of a wrecked car with 28,000 miles on them then he drove the car 1/2 block and parked it in a garage for 10 years, when I got it the tires were rotted out but with an oil change and a wrecking yard carb I put 1 or 2 thousand miles on it till the carb electronics took a crap. I'm in Eugene, Oregon and if you make the right offer we can make a deal, if not I'll keep searching for a carb. Oh, I have put the original type carb on it and it kinda runs ok but every so often it just flat dies, not a good thing in traffic but the electronics may very well work properly on a 93 car where they just won't on an 87. Good luck anyway it goes Mudrat357 im thinking about droping a 4cly motor im my 93 justy.

Bgale04 Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 i just found this a couple days ago www.turboman.ca check it out its friggin crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simple monkey Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Another option you might want to look into would be a toyota 4AGE, they came in both front wheel drive cars and rear wheel drive, and i think a 4 wheel drive wagon? anyway, they are very reliable strong engines, 1.6 ltr, 130 bhp, 8k redline. There is also a supercharged version which can be easily swapped to turbo, i've seen it done before. Too much power, 200 hp gets scary in a rear wheel drive car.

s'ko Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 i just found this a couple days ago www.turboman.ca check it out its friggin crazy WOW.... That's one intense Justy. Even a Ej22 would be a huge improvement over the stock mechanic.. I mean engine. So is this that thing AWD? I guess it would have to be since he showed the front and rear axle pic.

Myxalplyx Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Just looked at the video of the car accelerating from a dead stop. If the mph gauge is in Kilometers per hour, it took him 4 seconds to get to 60mph. Interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbird Man Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Plenty of justys in the states if that's what you mean, woulden't reccomend this mod to anyone that isn't comfortable with a welder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbird Man Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 WOW, cheak out the latest vids on his page, he smoked a WRX while carrying 4 passengers.....bad rump roast. so the moral of the story, if your're in canada, beware red justys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
