fellas this possible? i might be getting a 1995 vitara soon and i want to swap a diesel engine in it, thinking of the toyota 2c turbo diesel, its cheap, tough as nails, and lots of parts for it. Thing is i ts auto and rwd tranny, is it possible to some how mate this up with the vitara 4wd transfer case so i can still have the 4wd goodness?

it's not something i see too often..

this guy swapped a Mazda engine in his..

try contacting him for advice as well..

I heard the Toyota engine will be a good swap too....not sure about the 4x4 functionallity, you can call Harry in cunupia (he has a post with a couple vitaras in the car classified forums a while back)... he will be able to tell you the technical details.

do you have contact info for him?

678-9903 Harry... when you get some more details please update me as to the technical aspects of this swap.... might look into doing one too

why dont you get the original 4X4 diesel turbo?

^^yep just was i was goin and say. try and get hold of the original diesel engine, direct bolt up, no modifications.

the original vitara diesel engine is real scarce to come by, imagine if he would require parts in future.....

trac it shud not be much problems, biggest problem would be if the tranny comes back too much, then yu will have to move back the t-case, shorten the rear shaft and lenghten the front one, in addition to modifyiny the tranny to t-case shaft....

i know Harry personal, he has a wealth of knowledge and experience..... goodman to deal with..

^ daz real ting to do jus for a 2c diesel . J20A for it yes!

yup harry is d man for this conversion. the 2c can work in the 95 vitara. i see harry putting a vg30 in one of these vans

^wtf....
ask harry if he know bout any beat out 92-96 vitaras nah, dont even need to have n engine. need one, could be hit too, once is only the front.

some good info to keep...

Looking to do a diesel swap also on a 2004 vitara, any further details?
Thanks.

^^RF diesel ftw. direct bolt up.

You could just source a UK diesel vitara (maybe front cut) and do a swap. Since they're very abundant in the UK.

Will be looking into that.
