@@Zuksoffroad Hi Myron, I hoping my question finds you, I have an 86 jx and I'm getting fuel into the evap charcoal canister from the carburetor? I forget the name of the electronic plunger valve located on the front top part of the carb, but that's how the gas is flowing into the charcoal canister. It will run perfect for 20-30 sec. Then run horrible or dye. Hope this made sense, I've been researching online and haven't found a fix?? Thank You Doug.
Really appreciate you passing on your knowledge and experience to help keep wee Suzukis on the road man, I wish this video never ended but sure hope theres a part 2 as I could watch for hours!
My, this is one of the best vids I've ever seen on Sammy's. I've been in the game now only a few years, but I LOVE my Sammy. One of the first things I bought was a Petroworks Grs 2 t-case. I didn't know about you yet. Then I saw your t- case Cradle and bought that with the spine. Anyway I love your products and service and business ethics!! Thank you so much! I really don't want to see you sell Zuks but I wish you all the best. Havasu Dave.....
Second time ive seen this video Myron, thanks. Theres a lot of general information that is priceless. Im a licensed mechanic, and out of my shop in Creston BC, I bought and sold after fixing them up quit a few Suzuki's. Now, Administrator for the BCSuzuki 4WD group.. mine is a prototype, of three themes i had, charcoal/Black , Desert Tan, and a Jungle Green theme.. just one of my ideas.. As close to a willies jeep but better, I tell people. 86 convertible, 1.6 diesel, 6.5 gears, stage 2 clutch, 5.5 lift, etc.. fabricated hard top.. custom fabrication throughout, including a vertical gun rack from a scout for the 7mm.. I have two sets of Toyota axles saved, an 1.9 aaz , and will be doing the rransmission soon enough.. hybrids, diy, is the only way to keep the love of these machines going.. keep up the good work
I grew up riding trails every weekend in dad's 1972 Brute (LJ20) that he bought new, so I have been a life long fan of Suzuki. In 1987, at the age of 19, I bought a new Samurai and still have it. My dad also bought a new 87, and also still has it and the old LJ. We both watch your videos and have had much on the same experiences working on them over the years.
Everything you hit on was exactly how my first Sammy purchase went. I really lucked out and found one bone stock that hadn't been wheeled. Has Ac too. Well worth the 20 plus grand I've sunk into it.😂 But at least i knew what had been done to it and where it has been. Plus i've learning more about "turning a wrench" in 2 years than the previous 55😂😂😂.. Thanks once again My....
I own a zuk in India...its called Maruti Suzuki Gypsy King (With a longer wheel base).. it's a legendary car...has a cult following...I live in the Himalayas...no one can beat Gypsy King 👑....It also holds the record for longest production car in the history of Indian cars...1987 to 2019...Iam in love with my Beast 👑👑👑
hello, do you guys swap their engines or keep them stock? and if you like swapping, what are the most popular swaps, I'm looking to swap something into my sj410 but not sure if I should keep sto 1.3 cause 10hp and 20nm torque doesn't sound so great, I'm thinking of doing that or doing an engine overhaul
I'm the guy that has the 16v swap parts from different areas and people. I remember I called you to do my wire harness and you immediately said no. Loll. But you recommended that I go to Petroworks to do it for me. Especially to make it carb legal in California.
apparently old MY deletes comments, as i say @oczuk32 go online find a wiring diagram and learn to read it .the 16v swap requires basic electrical knowledge. im no auto electrician but i sure as hell figured it out within two weeks.
@@samaxeman123 what are you talking about? I don’t delete comments. Even the negative comments. Maybe you saw a scammer using my logo and thought it was me???
I remember buying the last one off of the show room floor in my area. I had told my wife that it was like buying an old style flat fender Jeep with out all the fancy stuff that Jeep was selling.
Awesome video, Sir. Total respect. My Dad is a Biblical scholar & teacher so I know an expert when I hear one. By the way I'm the inexperienced guy from Ohio. I called ya & you picked up while you were on the trail... & yes I ended up getting the wrong radiator but at least I have the right one on order now. Awesome video, Sir. God bless.
This was great I learned so much from this MY. Just got my third sami it’s a 87 tin top bone stock with a/c looking forward to getting a my side carb kit and talking t🥲with you in the future 🤙🏼
I have a 1989 SJ413 Samurai tin top (right hand steer) and it has 26 splines in the front, my old SJ410 had the same - you need to think and put down disclaimers as the USA is one country in the world, not the whole world - I am in New Zealand, but good break down of the years
My family and I went to watch some waterfalls. I have a Gen4 Jimny with diff-lockers. They went in a standard Hilux. I didn’t get stuck anywhere, the Hilux got stuck several times. The little Jimny that looks like a toy is far from it.
I have an AC unit from a salvage. Debating about putting it on. I am currently on my 5th Sammy I love the heck out of them and regret getting rid of them
Really informative Thanks Myron, Im a owner of early 88 stocker for 10 plus years just keeping her going and no major mods . maybe time for some improovements !
Surprised you advocate a 2.0 or 2.5 liter swap over the 1.6. I went 1.6 L 16V because I had read from others the opposite. Maybe if or when I blow this one up, I’ll look for something beefier. Oh, and your tip on buying a donor vehicle rather than parts is an excellent one. I bought a rusted out, low-ish mileage Tracker with a for a grand, pulled the engine, harness, ECU and a few other small parts out of it. I sold it to a pick and pull for $455. My swap was a breeze. Definitely the way to go! Thanks for the history lesson.
I brought a 2022 Jimny put in 4" lift for a laugh, was good fun, then I brought my 16yo nephew a Samurai soft-top which he blow the motor from running no coolant. that rig started turning me in to a fan. that was one year ago now I'm stripping and restoring that zook!!!
I have AC in mine, thanks to Myron's help keeping it with the 16 valve swap.The only time I ever use it is if it's hot and raining, or for crawling around in mosquito infested woods.
😊😊 plus about the automatic transmission problem that is easy we charge them to standard transmission and as well we take the fuel injector system and change the manifold and put a Weber on and in Puerto Rico we send the distributor to get together for a vacuum old school and yes they cut the distributor and put them together and they even built the trackers with d16 Honda distributor and tracker weld together skunk manifold fuel injector system with a manifold plate and turbo combo and believe me become a crowler and runner home made
The single cam 16v 1.6L was not the right engine for me because I had 4 of them and it crack either the head or the block and leaks a lot of motor oil. I now only kept the 8v 1.6L it never had any issues. Thanks for the great information about Suzuki.
Learned something, thank you! I have a completely stock 1996 Samurai with the fold down windshield purchased in Spain, it has all the power that chassis can take. It was a real hassle to get it registered in Portugal! (and expensive)
Thank you for the informative history lesson. I may disagree with the Dodge-Aisin relationship. The first 5.9 3-speed Autos were Mopar 727 Torqueflights, then they went to the Mopar 4-speed overdrive trans. None of these would put up with a Cummins' torque and didn't last. Aisin transmissions (far superior) did not appear in Dodge (Ram) trucks until the last 10 years.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I am working on a 16 valve obd1 engine swap into a tin top and your 3 engines for one good one is my experience so far. If I knew before I was so deep into the project I might have looked into more modern engines. I was looking to get 100 hp while keeping the engine relatively basic. Maybe the next guy will get the memo sooner.
1.6 16v is the most popular for samurai just not for me. Currently building a 1.6 8v propane turbo (147hp) for myself. At the rate it’s getting done I should be 75 when the buggy is finished.
I own a Zuk here in India...its called Maruti Suzuki Gypsy King 👑...with a longer wheel base version...it has a Cult following in India...an Absolute GOAT...it also hold the record of longest production car in the history of Indian cars....I live in the Himalayas...Gypsy's rule the mountains here 👑👑👑👑👑
Thank you as always for the great info, it's a shame you didn't get the SJ80 in the USA, I am located in a weird place in the EU where we have both Asia Market Cars and EU cars, Trying to find info on the SJ80 on the internet is like needles in a haystack. I owe a 1997 Suzuki Samurai SJ413 - SJ80, the coil sprung suspension is really nice but that engine is a killer. I was looking to get a G13B 16V swap from a Suzuki Swift GTi (Suzuki Cultus) (looking for more of a street samurai than an off-roading one) since it bolts directly to the gearbox I already have but they are rare here. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this swap. Great informative video as always
The GTI is a great swap. Matt stole mine. When it was in pieces I asked is this mine. I will pay you for it is what he said. I saved that engine for 10 years for my rat rod 2wd Sammy project.
a few things to change doing a g13b swap as its a fwd configuration motor meaning you will need to adapt things like coolant hoses and the distributor set up as it will not clear the firewall. g13b has no torque being a 1.3 and especially being a dohc. its all up top. g16 16v similar performance but a lovely torquey powerband
Absolutely right. I’ve owned my samurai for 7 years. Now it’s fully Toyota swapped (motor, trans, tcase, axles). It’s a slippery slope but I love it so dang much.
Thank you very much. I own a '97 2.0 16V Sidekick and love it. I need to do some bodywork on it but otherwise it's great. I'm from the Netherlands by the way, if i remember correctly, you didn't get the 2.0 Sidekick?
Loved this video! Thank you! Very helpful. I just picked up an '88 Suzuki Samurai that i plan to use as a daily driver. I have a ton of little projects. There is another video for how to help get rid if the play in the steering wheel. I'm going to try it out next weekend and i'll tell you how it goes. :) - L from Washington
That was a TON of information. Especially for a first time potential buyer. I'm not looking for a rock crawler or mudder. Just a get out in the woods and crawl around car. I'm looking to have a little bit of a lift and a bit of a bigger tire. 31" at most. If that. I found a 86 tin top for $5k, but he's an hour away so I've not looked at it yet. If it hasn't been "offroaded to death, What do you think of the price. Dry climate here so rust shouldn't be an issue. What should the compression be at when checking? Thanks for your time.
Myron, I have a stock samurai, it’s in great shape all stock soft top. I use it to run 15 miles to work when the weather is good here in the hill country in Texas. Do you have any recommendations for a shop to do an engine upgrade here in Texas.
Great video, thank you so much for sharing. I'm in NZ and have owned three Samurai, two tin tops and four years ago, I found a very standard soft top and love it. It's my every day drive car. So far, I've taken the rear seats out and fitted a lock box and the french made sports sloping soft top. All parts I have taken of are stored to go back to standard if required. The trans and gearbox got rebuilt two years ago. I've just had the engine fully rebuilt too. I have also bought the Toyota 3K carb kit from Certified Machine and Design, Inc and had that fitted too! Do you think or know if it will be more economical than the standard one? What are your thoughts on that carb please?
I do not sell communist made products if I can help it. I have not been impressed by it or the customer service. However, for so many it is highly recommended and works for many. I consider it a step above a Weber. Which I also despise. I am not the normal off-roader. I started ZOR because I broke a well known companies “tough products” and was denied a warranty because I was a rock crawler. Half my sales on Constant Velocity MY-Side kits that won’t stall at any angle are previous users of Chinese knock offs.
@@Zuksoffroad Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post on Suzuki Samurai trucks. I was not aware that the kit I purchased from the USA had a communist made products in it! I found the guys at Certified Machine and Design to be very helpfull and provided a good service. From research I knew to keep away from the Weber set up. Then due to my dislike of Harley Davidson motorcycles (I am a motorcyclist of 54 years), Which is why I also stay away from anything Harley. The Toyota 3K carb is a tried and tested unit and so far it is working well for me, but time will tell. But my truck is original except for this 3K upgrade. I have subscribed to your channel and will watch it with interest as it has very interesting and useful stuff in it thanks.
@@richardt.4224 you can buy same carb on eBay for $85 drill holes to fit 1.3 intake manifold. I am pleased you like it. Monitor spark plugs for over fueling condition.
Got my almost stock 88.5 square dash about where i need it. Like bigger tires but I'm fine with these mud 235/75/15. Shoot MY i wouldn't expect any channel i watch to answer back most are fillers do my part. Least i can do. I realize what it takes to make decent videos ,run a channel,time , effort,coin and still have a day job. To make it now a day's. Yes Sir great video. Thanks for shout out. Priceless. Stay safe.
I absolutely have to give you a call, I have so many questions about my JB31 1995 Jimny Sierra tin top right hand drive. Its a 1.3l 1298 but Nothing makes sense to me. I really want to do a rebuild and possibly a turbo kit but when I research the one I have it doesnt seem to really exist.
Suzuki has a lot of models we are not familiar with in the US. I am very familiar with G13B/1298cc that’s a 9.5 flat top piston used in efi here in US. Many were still carbed in other countries. We are too busy to introduce another turbo product for using with old closed loop efi. We will this year.
All you Samurai guys make the same mistake. BIG TIRES, BIG GEAR BOX CHANGES.. The little jeep is a 85 hp work horse... Suzukis are probably the most desired vehicle in all of Africa, due to their RELIABILITY.... "FOR WHAT IT IS".... Suzuki cam back to America in the 2000's with the Kachsi (car) something like that, and a Nissan truck with a 'badge change', Suzuki's mistake is... they were trying to compete with Honda - Accord, and Toyota - Camry..... SUZUKI,,, THAT IS NOT YOUR WHEEL HOUSE....... Making cute little jeeps is.... Toyota and Honda WILL NOT ENTER THAT MARKET.... Ive owned 2 Geo Trackers. one, my daughter loved so much she begged me for it. She drove it to high school... ALL THE KIDS LOVED IT.... and guess what old guy... that was ALL STOCK with STOCK WHEELS AND TIRES.... So.. in closing. Suzuki should build that Jimny in Mexico, and build the Jimny truck concept in Mexico. BRIBE US POLITICIANS.... because you can easily do that. Suzuki should CONCENTRATE ON SMALL LOW POWERED JEEPY things... You MONSTER TIRE guys will just have to work out your inadequacies in some other way.
I think you should have made it clearer for those that don't know, the Samurai is the Jimny, it was badged as the Samurai for the US market, I have a 98 Jimny licensed for the road in the US, in order to do this it must be 25 years or older unless you have money and connections, I know of 2 brand new ones licensed here.
Do you have Samurai high roofs there in US?? Haven't seen any on videos i have been watching. Almost all seems to be soft tops. I'm from Finland and many Samurai has a high roof, including one I own. You have very good knowledge on Suzukis. Thank for sharing all the information...
@@Zuksoffroad What is your opinion of tire size on Samurai? i have 26 spline chromoly axelshafts in front and rear and arb lockers on both axels. Have been thinking tires but seen on videos that Samurai axels could not handle 33" tires and up.. 31x10.50 -20 et is kinda sweet spot what i have seen, but does 33x12.50 make that huge difference? Thanks for sharing all the knowledge you have.... Samurais are sweet little rigs
@@poppamies5990 34” is easily handled with good driving skills and chromo axles but once over 33” I prefer to do taller t-case gears for strength and lower axle gears. 4:16 or 4:9 in t-case. 4:57 in axles. You can do deep 6 in t-case and leave the axles alone also. But sharing the load prevents breakage.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It is worthwhile upgrading to the 26 spline front axles if sticking to stock sized tyres and not a huge suspension lift? Do you recommend a parts supplier for this? The rebuilding the front diff changing up the side gears I'm thinking would be a cool challenge. I've got to rebuild the SJ41 rear diff anyway (loose flange with Pinion Movement, I assume it's that crush sleeve you talked about). I'm a Mechanic apprentice looking at getting more hands on experience doing the old school jobs we rarely get these days in the workshop. SJ70/SJ413 tin top and a SJ41/SJ410 tray back. In Australia and hoping to get the SJ70 going as an everyday driver and do the occasional bush/desert 4wd track.
An expert off-roader in a samurai that he purchased new. 8 years later he was State Suzuki club prez. He snapped one front and one rear in two feet with stock tires. Never turn front birfields full clock and back up. Weakest point and Never let your car be used as an anchor for winching. Axles stress is unbelievable when doing that.
Great video! Was hoping you would mention samurai 1.9TD (LWB) as i just picket up one. ive had many sj410 /413 /jb43 jimnys as they are all over the place here. But the sammy 1.9TD (registered here as a 2003) is very rare and im told it is 1/7 left on the road in my country. Is there any specific changes to this model compared to older 1.3 gasoline sammys? Cheers from Norway
Unfortunately LWB not imported into USA. All LWB here come from Canada. Very rare indeed. Not being a diesel fan I covered the most popular current engine swaps. Cheers Norway! Originally from Minnesota Norwegian ancestors. We might be related.
@@Zuksoffroad I want to make this my new daily driver /crawler as i got an extra 6,5:1 tcase on the shelf and thought the 1.9TD (this one has the xud9 TDI engine 100 ish HP not the 63HP) might have some extra torque down low. only planning on running 33's so i hope that will be alr. Thx for your reply!
@@internetttroll1908 off road you couldn’t ask for a better setup! Diesels are wonderful offroad. Maybe a tad heavy up front for waterfall crawling but horrible on hiway. To high of tons due to low gearing in Suzuki
@@Zuksoffroad No highways where i live. Do you by any chance know the diff ratios on this thing? i havent gotten it in the shop yet to look at it. As they are so rare here, getting replacement axels for it gonna be a pain so i will only do mild ish crawling. strict rules here, so i cant do too much of modifications.
Have you had any experience, or can you offer any insight into the imported Japanese Kei variants? I’ve been really interested in eary 90s models with the 660cc 3cyl turbo engine. I’m mainly curious if the suspension, axles, trans and T-case are similar to the US market Samurai’s. Thanks for any advice, and thank you for the videos. They’re very informative.
No doubt similar to Suzuki Jimny bin the 25 year range can be imported. A few things are available here but not much in the way of engine or transmission support. Many import then convert to 1.3 and five speed trans axles and frame similar
What's up with the kswap you mentioned? I've been looking into it for my samurai since I'm a honda technician and makes sence but I only see them done on 2wd setups.
86 was first year and was a success lots of 86 models. For model production year by year that’s all listed in the Suzuki VS Consumer Union FAKE ROLLOVER REPORT video. Check it out
Hi. My father in law had an old Suzuki Sidekick that I loved. I am looking to buy a used one in Greece. I almost bought a 1 owner 1998 but the owners wife said no. Can you recommend what years I should focus my search on that had the fewest problems, and which years to avoid? Thank you very much Nick
I may be wrong but the USA sidekick is the world’s Vitara. The Suzuki Sidekicks/Trackers/Vitara are cars that are 4X4. They can be made very successfully into good street cars to SAS buggies. The future doesn’t bode well for the highest quality parts. It is a good idea to get the parts that make sense to have while you can obtain.
I was but I fired everyone except the book keeper. I am married to her. Looking to build a crew back up so I can get out of the fabricating, machining, welding, shipping and get back to the drawing board on this and my mini atlas t-case.
ive got an sj410 from 1985.. would it make sense to swap out the engine, the transmission and the axles for 413s stuff? or should i just buy a 413? cause finding a 413 or an sj in general is kinda hard in my country. and the reason why i wanna change the axles is because appearently the axles on the 413s are a bit wider, atleast thats what the seller of my suzuki told me back then. oh and i need to change the hood for the 1.3l i just read on wikipedia.
I have seen 410 bodies on 413 frames and drivetrains. 410 are popular but not much support. A few things are similar and many companies claim their parts fit both 410/413 but that’s like three parts outside of the t-case
@@Zuksoffroad oh damn, bet my lock out´s wont fit. xD well, guess im going to search for a cheap rusted 413. because my 410s is rust wise in pretty good shape. thanks for the information. glad there are still ppl like you out there who know so much about old suzukis. 👍
Anyone want a tin top with a rebuilt engine, T-case and my-fi installed? I love it very much but I am not qualified to repair the body which sadly has the rusty fenders.
@@Zuksoffroad I appreciate the encouragement. I have no welding skills though. I kinda want to sell it and buy one with less rust. I've had this little truck for close to 20 years. I just dont know what to do. The rust isn't limited to the fenders sadly.
Can I be stupid here and ask exactly what the ramifications are if one tries to modify a soft top to become a tin top? I seem to hear that the rear quarters are different? Are the doors also different? I'm a buyer if I can make it work!
@@jeffferguson4632 tintops have different behind dash and A-B pillar sheet metal. Fixed windshields also. An experienced sheet metal worker took 18 months of 30-40 hr weeks to make the extended cab dump truck tintop called “Dumpy” if you are determined to make a soft top into a tin top document it so the next guy won’t
It’s a closed loop system unless you turbo it and that’s iffy at the moment because the rods are weak. The ecu is not programmable. No aftermarket cans because it’s not programable. It’s all about compression and gearing. What car is it in? What size tires? What transmission? What axle gearing? What is your purpose for this vehicle?
😂😂 samurai are jumping beens for me slow and are a matches box for me.I appreciate 96 4x4 and 97 they are a lot better in the highway and more stable and a lot faster and believe I know I my self have a 96 Geo tracker 16 valves 4 x4 old school style and with header and a 272 Delta cam regrind sound good and pull nice with a aluminum crank pulley and I'm being all over with my Geo tracker I'm from Pa and I'm being Florida Texas California nj etc never any problems and my is auto 4x4 I maintenance my every year from tune up to transmission filter and fluid.And I have 15 x 10 wheels with 31 x 10.5 tires no mud tires and 4 in flares all around no lift look like a toy bulk up and I made him my own bikini renegade style took everything I don't nd including air conditioning crap back seat rug etc etc and every bolt that don't nd including speakers radio all run in Bluetooth speakers I can tell you people love the look and the cam sound old school style nothing fancy is a jp a Spaniard mustang 🐎 born in the byouooooo CCR amigo
You said Aisin made parts for Toyota, but in reality Aisin is a drivetrain company that Toyota owns. The same as how Jatco trans are owned by Nissan or how GM owned Allison Transmission for the better part of a century.
Your generalized statements are inaccurate and out dated. Currently AISIN being part of the Toyota Group means Toyota is a minority owner. I was referring to back when these cars Suzuki and Toyota were being manufactured that AISIN made the engines transmissions axles and t-cases. Should you find error in my statements don’t make comparisons give me details to change my erroneous summation.
I have a complete a/c system for a 1987 samurai it’s still in the vehicle so everything is there I want to sell it contact me if anyone is interested I would like around $400 for everything even the carburetor that’s meant of the a/c model

What an awesome video! I’ve been wanting a 4 door sidekick for some time to replace my Landcruiser and this video is full of valuable knowledge
Glad it was helpful!
This was great I learned so much from this MY. Just got my third sami it’s a 87 tin top bone stock with a/c looking forward to getting a my side carb kit and talking t🥲with you in the future 🤙🏼
Thank you for sharing this. I’m a new owner of a 96 X90
On my bucket list is x90 on big tires
I have a 1989 SJ413 Samurai tin top (right hand steer) and it has 26 splines in the front, my old SJ410 had the same - you need to think and put down disclaimers as the USA is one country in the world, not the whole world - I am in New Zealand, but good break down of the years
All great info Myron, thanks for posting this
My pleasure
My family and I went to watch some waterfalls. I have a Gen4 Jimny with diff-lockers. They went in a standard Hilux.
I didn’t get stuck anywhere, the Hilux got stuck several times.
The little Jimny that looks like a toy is far from it.
I have an AC unit from a salvage. Debating about putting it on. I am currently on my 5th Sammy I love the heck out of them and regret getting rid of them
I have AC on my 88. It’s OK. But not a game changer. Live in Georgia. Have a bikini top I don’t use AC hardly at all
Really informative Thanks Myron, Im a owner of early 88 stocker for 10 plus years just keeping her going and no major mods .
maybe time for some improovements !
That’s why I say we here in the USA are like the Cubans. Keeping those old forty and fifties Chevys running.
I'm under the impression you like the Samurai 👍
Thanks for the history and great information. Us older guys have forgotten a few things over the years, why I've collected mine, lol
Surprised you advocate a 2.0 or 2.5 liter swap over the 1.6. I went 1.6 L 16V because I had read from others the opposite. Maybe if or when I blow this one up, I’ll look for something beefier.
Oh, and your tip on buying a donor vehicle rather than parts is an excellent one. I bought a rusted out, low-ish mileage Tracker with a for a grand, pulled the engine, harness, ECU and a few other small parts out of it. I sold it to a pick and pull for $455. My swap was a breeze.
Definitely the way to go! Thanks for the history lesson.
Only because HQ parts are hard to find for 1.6 engines PLUS sidekicks are not being dumped cheap like the old Samurai used to be.
I brought a 2022 Jimny put in 4" lift for a laugh, was good fun, then I brought my 16yo nephew a Samurai soft-top which he blow the motor from running no coolant. that rig started turning me in to a fan. that was one year ago now I'm stripping and restoring that zook!!!
Thank you for the information.👍
My pleasure
@@Zuksoffroad Tomorrow I’m going to go look at an 87 Samurai. I’ve owned 2 before….should have never sold them.
Have a good evening 😎
I have AC in mine, thanks to Myron's help keeping it with the 16 valve swap.The only time I ever use it is if it's hot and raining, or for crawling around in mosquito infested woods.
Long time Russ. TY for watching!
😊😊 plus about the automatic transmission problem that is easy we charge them to standard transmission and as well we take the fuel injector system and change the manifold and put a Weber on and in Puerto Rico we send the distributor to get together for a vacuum old school and yes they cut the distributor and put them together and they even built the trackers with d16 Honda distributor and tracker weld together skunk manifold fuel injector system with a manifold plate and turbo combo and believe me become a crowler and runner home made
The single cam 16v 1.6L was not the right engine for me because I had 4 of them and it crack either the head or the block and leaks a lot of motor oil. I now only kept the 8v 1.6L it never had any issues. Thanks for the great information about Suzuki.
About the same here. Lost three 16v myself, building an 8v turbocharged pane engine now. Then will build a Suzuki car around it.
Learned something, thank you! I have a completely stock 1996 Samurai with the fold down windshield purchased in Spain, it has all the power that chassis can take. It was a real hassle to get it registered in Portugal! (and expensive)
Very cool!
Thank you for the informative history lesson. I may disagree with the Dodge-Aisin relationship. The first 5.9 3-speed Autos were Mopar 727 Torqueflights, then they went to the Mopar 4-speed overdrive trans. None of these would put up with a Cummins' torque and didn't last. Aisin transmissions (far superior) did not appear in Dodge (Ram) trucks until the last 10 years.
Thanks for clarifying that. Appreciate the knowledge!
Thanks for sharing your experience. I am working on a 16 valve obd1 engine swap into a tin top and your 3 engines for one good one is my experience so far. If I knew before I was so deep into the project I might have looked into more modern engines. I was looking to get 100 hp while keeping the engine relatively basic. Maybe the next guy will get the memo sooner.
1.6 16v is the most popular for samurai just not for me. Currently building a 1.6 8v propane turbo (147hp) for myself. At the rate it’s getting done I should be 75 when the buggy is finished.
Would be cool to see a walk around some of the suzuki samurai in the shop.
I own a Zuk here in India...its called Maruti Suzuki Gypsy King 👑...with a longer wheel base version...it has a Cult following in India...an Absolute GOAT...it also hold the record of longest production car in the history of Indian cars....I live in the Himalayas...Gypsy's rule the mountains here 👑👑👑👑👑
Thank you as always for the great info, it's a shame you didn't get the SJ80 in the USA, I am located in a weird place in the EU where we have both Asia Market Cars and EU cars,
Trying to find info on the SJ80 on the internet is like needles in a haystack.
I owe a 1997 Suzuki Samurai SJ413 - SJ80, the coil sprung suspension is really nice but that engine is a killer.
I was looking to get a G13B 16V swap from a Suzuki Swift GTi (Suzuki Cultus) (looking for more of a street samurai than an off-roading one) since it bolts directly to the gearbox I already have but they are rare here.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this swap.
Great informative video as always
The GTI is a great swap. Matt stole mine. When it was in pieces I asked is this mine. I will pay you for it is what he said. I saved that engine for 10 years for my rat rod 2wd Sammy project.
a few things to change doing a g13b swap as its a fwd configuration motor meaning you will need to adapt things like coolant hoses and the distributor set up as it will not clear the firewall. g13b has no torque being a 1.3 and especially being a dohc. its all up top. g16 16v similar performance but a lovely torquey powerband
i had an 88 1/2 samurai in high school. it was such a great vehicle
Blank canvas vehicle. Make what you want out of them. Stock to wild.
Absolutely right. I’ve owned my samurai for 7 years. Now it’s fully Toyota swapped (motor, trans, tcase, axles). It’s a slippery slope but I love it so dang much.
Rollin in a 86, had it since I was 18!
Thank you very much. I own a '97 2.0 16V Sidekick and love it. I need to do some bodywork on it but otherwise it's great. I'm from the Netherlands by the way, if i remember correctly, you didn't get the 2.0 Sidekick?
Loved this video! Thank you! Very helpful. I just picked up an '88 Suzuki Samurai that i plan to use as a daily driver. I have a ton of little projects. There is another video for how to help get rid if the play in the steering wheel. I'm going to try it out next weekend and i'll tell you how it goes. :) - L from Washington

Great stuff MY; thank you!!
My pleasure!
what an awesome video! so freaking cool for you to make this :)
Thanks.
That was a TON of information. Especially for a first time potential buyer. I'm not looking for a rock crawler or mudder. Just a get out in the woods and crawl around car. I'm looking to have a little bit of a lift and a bit of a bigger tire. 31" at most. If that. I found a 86 tin top for $5k, but he's an hour away so I've not looked at it yet. If it hasn't been "offroaded to death, What do you think of the price. Dry climate here so rust shouldn't be an issue. What should the compression be at when checking? Thanks for your time.
$5k tintop is a value. 175 per cylinder or it won’t be peak performance.
Myron, I have a stock samurai, it’s in great shape all stock soft top. I use it to run 15 miles to work when the weather is good here in the hill country in Texas. Do you have any recommendations for a shop to do an engine upgrade here in Texas.
Thanks for another great video!
My pleasure!
Great video, thank you so much for sharing.
I'm in NZ and have owned three Samurai, two
tin tops and four years ago, I found a very standard
soft top and love it. It's my every day drive car.
So far, I've taken the rear seats out and fitted a
lock box and the french made sports sloping soft top.
All parts I have taken of are stored to go back
to standard if required.
The trans and gearbox got rebuilt two years ago.
I've just had the engine fully rebuilt too.
I have also bought the Toyota 3K carb kit from
Certified Machine and Design, Inc and had that fitted too!
Do you think or know if it will be more economical than the standard one?
What are your thoughts on that carb please?
I do not sell communist made products if I can help it. I have not been impressed by it or the customer service. However, for so many it is highly recommended and works for many. I consider it a step above a Weber. Which I also despise. I am not the normal off-roader. I started ZOR because I broke a well known companies “tough products” and was denied a warranty because I was a rock crawler. Half my sales on Constant Velocity MY-Side kits that won’t stall at any angle are previous users of Chinese knock offs.
@@Zuksoffroad Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post on Suzuki Samurai trucks.
I was not aware that the kit I purchased from the USA had a communist made products in it!
I found the guys at Certified Machine and Design to be very helpfull and provided a good service.
From research I knew to keep away from the Weber set up.
Then due to my dislike of Harley Davidson motorcycles (I am a motorcyclist of 54 years),
Which is why I also stay away from anything Harley.
The Toyota 3K carb is a tried and tested unit and so far it is working well for me, but time will tell.
But my truck is original except for this 3K upgrade.
I have subscribed to your channel and will watch it with interest as it has very interesting and useful stuff in it thanks.
@@richardt.4224 you can buy same carb on eBay for $85 drill holes to fit 1.3 intake manifold. I am pleased you like it. Monitor spark plugs for over fueling condition.

Peeps been asking
Got my almost stock 88.5 square dash about where i need it.
Like bigger tires but I'm fine with these mud 235/75/15. Shoot MY i wouldn't expect any channel i watch to answer back most are fillers do my part. Least i can do. I realize what it takes to make decent videos ,run a channel,time , effort,coin and still have a day job. To make it now a day's.

Thanks for shout out.
Priceless. Stay safe.
I absolutely have to give you a call, I have so many questions about my JB31 1995 Jimny Sierra tin top right hand drive. Its a 1.3l 1298 but Nothing makes sense to me. I really want to do a rebuild and possibly a turbo kit but when I research the one I have it doesnt seem to really exist.
Suzuki has a lot of models we are not familiar with in the US. I am very familiar with G13B/1298cc that’s a 9.5 flat top piston used in efi here in US. Many were still carbed in other countries. We are too busy to introduce another turbo product for using with old closed loop efi. We will this year.
Thank you sir!! Grateful for you sharing all of this amazing knowledge :) Pure Rad :)
My pleasure!
Thanks for the history!
Any time!
All you Samurai guys make the same mistake. BIG TIRES, BIG GEAR BOX CHANGES.. The little jeep is a 85 hp work horse... Suzukis are probably the most desired vehicle in all of Africa, due to their RELIABILITY.... "FOR WHAT IT IS".... Suzuki cam back to America in the 2000's with the Kachsi (car) something like that, and a Nissan truck with a 'badge change', Suzuki's mistake is... they were trying to compete with Honda - Accord, and Toyota - Camry..... SUZUKI,,, THAT IS NOT YOUR WHEEL HOUSE....... Making cute little jeeps is.... Toyota and Honda WILL NOT ENTER THAT MARKET.... Ive owned 2 Geo Trackers. one, my daughter loved so much she begged me for it. She drove it to high school... ALL THE KIDS LOVED IT.... and guess what old guy... that was ALL STOCK with STOCK WHEELS AND TIRES.... So.. in closing. Suzuki should build that Jimny in Mexico, and build the Jimny truck concept in Mexico. BRIBE US POLITICIANS.... because you can easily do that. Suzuki should CONCENTRATE ON SMALL LOW POWERED JEEPY things... You MONSTER TIRE guys will just have to work out your inadequacies in some other way.
Agreed. Do small stuff unless you have a diesel swap. My stock one killed a ton of modified jeeps.
I think you should have made it clearer for those that don't know, the Samurai is the Jimny, it was badged as the Samurai for the US market, I have a 98 Jimny licensed for the road in the US, in order to do this it must be 25 years or older unless you have money and connections, I know of 2 brand new ones licensed here.
Thank you for sharing that information.
Do you have Samurai high roofs there in US?? Haven't seen any on videos i have been watching. Almost all seems to be soft tops. I'm from Finland and many Samurai has a high roof, including one I own. You have very good knowledge on Suzukis. Thank for sharing all the information...
No high roofs and very few LWB. Long wheel bases mostly were sold in Canada.
@@Zuksoffroad What is your opinion of tire size on Samurai? i have 26 spline chromoly axelshafts in front and rear and arb lockers on both axels. Have been thinking tires but seen on videos that Samurai axels could not handle 33" tires and up.. 31x10.50 -20 et is kinda sweet spot what i have seen, but does 33x12.50 make that huge difference? Thanks for sharing all the knowledge you have.... Samurais are sweet little rigs
@@poppamies5990 34” is easily handled with good driving skills and chromo axles but once over 33” I prefer to do taller t-case gears for strength and lower axle gears. 4:16 or 4:9 in t-case. 4:57 in axles. You can do deep 6 in t-case and leave the axles alone also. But sharing the load prevents breakage.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
It is worthwhile upgrading to the 26 spline front axles if sticking to stock sized tyres and not a huge suspension lift? Do you recommend a parts supplier for this?
The rebuilding the front diff changing up the side gears I'm thinking would be a cool challenge. I've got to rebuild the SJ41 rear diff anyway (loose flange with Pinion Movement, I assume it's that crush sleeve you talked about). I'm a Mechanic apprentice looking at getting more hands on experience doing the old school jobs we rarely get these days in the workshop.
SJ70/SJ413 tin top and a SJ41/SJ410 tray back. In Australia and hoping to get the SJ70 going as an everyday driver and do the occasional bush/desert 4wd track.
An expert off-roader in a samurai that he purchased new. 8 years later he was State Suzuki club prez. He snapped one front and one rear in two feet with stock tires.
Never turn front birfields full clock and back up. Weakest point and Never let your car be used as an anchor for winching. Axles stress is unbelievable when doing that.
But do you need chromo upgrades? Call me for a set after you break a stock axle is the answer.
All right 26 spline it is. Thank you
Thanks for the good info! Whats the paint code on that beautiful Sammy?!
It’s not factory Charcoal Grey
Great video! Was hoping you would mention samurai 1.9TD (LWB) as i just picket up one. ive had many sj410 /413 /jb43 jimnys as they are all over the place here. But the sammy 1.9TD (registered here as a 2003) is very rare and im told it is 1/7 left on the road in my country. Is there any specific changes to this model compared to older 1.3 gasoline sammys?
Cheers from Norway
Unfortunately LWB not imported into USA. All LWB here come from Canada. Very rare indeed. Not being a diesel fan I covered the most popular current engine swaps. Cheers Norway! Originally from Minnesota Norwegian ancestors. We might be related.
@@Zuksoffroad I want to make this my new daily driver /crawler as i got an extra 6,5:1 tcase on the shelf and thought the 1.9TD (this one has the xud9 TDI engine 100 ish HP not the 63HP) might have some extra torque down low. only planning on running 33's so i hope that will be alr.
Thx for your reply!
@@internetttroll1908 off road you couldn’t ask for a better setup! Diesels are wonderful offroad. Maybe a tad heavy up front for waterfall crawling but horrible on hiway. To high of tons due to low gearing in Suzuki
@@Zuksoffroad No highways where i live.
Do you by any chance know the diff ratios on this thing? i havent gotten it in the shop yet to look at it.
As they are so rare here, getting replacement axels for it gonna be a pain so i will only do mild ish crawling. strict rules here, so i cant do too much of modifications.
Hi Myron, I’m going to look at a 1988, what’s a good compression for 120k miles? Thank you in advance!
175 is minimum factory service limit before rebuilding. That’s the bottom of peak performance. I let go down to 150 before it’s a must rebuild
Thanks for the info mate

So it’s a bad transmission?
Thank
No is a great transmission. Non computer controlled. Built some bad to the bone samurai with the GMC. No parts is the issue.
Have you had any experience, or can you offer any insight into the imported Japanese Kei variants? I’ve been really interested in eary 90s models with the 660cc 3cyl turbo engine. I’m mainly curious if the suspension, axles, trans and T-case are similar to the US market Samurai’s. Thanks for any advice, and thank you for the videos. They’re very informative.
No doubt similar to Suzuki Jimny bin the 25 year range can be imported. A few things are available here but not much in the way of engine or transmission support. Many import then convert to 1.3 and five speed trans axles and frame similar
Awesome! Great video. Is it possible to schedule a call with you?
Just call the shop but confirm the correct number on the website please. Scammers galore!
What's up with the kswap you mentioned? I've been looking into it for my samurai since I'm a honda technician and makes sence but I only see them done on 2wd setups.
I hope to change that, if I can ever get caught up on orders. Been overwhelmed since 2007. Haven’t been able to get back to my RnD.
Was the 86 any worse of a vehicle or just not a big seller? Looking at a clean body rust free but modified ‘86
86 was first year and was a success lots of 86 models. For model production year by year that’s all listed in the Suzuki VS Consumer Union FAKE ROLLOVER REPORT video. Check it out
Great information 🤙🤙🤙

Hi. My father in law had an old Suzuki Sidekick that I loved. I am looking to buy a used one in Greece. I almost bought a 1 owner 1998 but the owners wife said no. Can you recommend what years I should focus my search on that had the fewest problems, and which years to avoid? Thank you very much Nick
I may be wrong but the USA sidekick is the world’s Vitara. The Suzuki Sidekicks/Trackers/Vitara are cars that are 4X4. They can be made very successfully into good street cars to SAS buggies.
The future doesn’t bode well for the highest quality parts. It is a good idea to get the parts that make sense to have while you can obtain.
Couldn’t find the answer in the video sorry if I missed it but is it freeway suitable !? I really want one but need it for a daily drive 🥲
I do not consider a samurai an every day long distance hiway car.
I'm in Japan with a 95 Jimny (JA11) that I plan on bringing back, any recommendations on what else to grab before I head back?
Spare turbo, engine,spare trans not much here for the 3cyl turbos.

ty Myron
ive got an sj410 from 1985.. would it make sense to swap out the engine, the transmission and the axles for 413s stuff? or should i just buy a 413? cause finding a 413 or an sj in general is kinda hard in my country. and the reason why i wanna change the axles is because appearently the axles on the 413s are a bit wider, atleast thats what the seller of my suzuki told me back then.
oh and i need to change the hood for the 1.3l i just read on wikipedia.
I have seen 410 bodies on 413 frames and drivetrains. 410 are popular but not much support. A few things are similar and many companies claim their parts fit both 410/413 but that’s like three parts outside of the t-case
@@Zuksoffroad oh damn, bet my lock out´s wont fit. xD
well, guess im going to search for a cheap rusted 413. because my 410s is rust wise in pretty good shape. thanks for the information. glad there are still ppl like you out there who know so much about old suzukis. 👍
Anyone want a tin top with a rebuilt engine, T-case and my-fi installed?
I love it very much but I am not qualified to repair the body which sadly has the rusty fenders.
Sounds to me like an exo cage and cut out fenders is in the tinny’s future!
@@Zuksoffroad I appreciate the encouragement. I have no welding skills though. I kinda want to sell it and buy one with less rust. I've had this little truck for close to 20 years. I just dont know what to do. The rust isn't limited to the fenders sadly.
Can I be stupid here and ask exactly what the ramifications are if one tries to modify a soft top to become a tin top? I seem to hear that the rear quarters are different? Are the doors also different? I'm a buyer if I can make it work!

How to get better power out of a 1.6 16v engine?
It’s a closed loop system unless you turbo it and that’s iffy at the moment because the rods are weak. The ecu is not programmable. No aftermarket cans because it’s not programable. It’s all about compression and gearing. What car is it in? What size tires? What transmission? What axle gearing? What is your purpose for this vehicle?

You said Aisin made parts for Toyota, but in reality Aisin is a drivetrain company that Toyota owns. The same as how Jatco trans are owned by Nissan or how GM owned Allison Transmission for the better part of a century.
Your generalized statements are inaccurate and out dated. Currently AISIN being part of the Toyota Group means Toyota is a minority owner. I was referring to back when these cars Suzuki and Toyota were being manufactured that AISIN made the engines transmissions axles and t-cases. Should you find error in my statements don’t make comparisons give me details to change my erroneous summation.
I'll sub if you make the rollover video.
