Internal or external?
Thanks Dieseledoc. Not really. I wasn't looking for any vehicles with the 2.0L. This 1.6L 16V just happened to land in my lap pretty much.
Adam, this fuel pump is external.
Careful with over heating the external pump.
Where are you mounting it?
Right next to the exhaust! Just Kidding. On the opposite near the frame rail actually. I haven't heard of other guys having this problem in this location.
Cool, id assum it wont over heat being that it dont have to flow to much.
But still external pumps are known for over heating
Nice progress on the swap, it's looking good
Nice! :)
One of the things I love about being a parts of FR4x4 is now I take notice of all types of 4x4s' they are as unique as the people who own them!! Love where you are taking your rig!
Thanks Everyone!
Well.....I tried firing it up last night and no go.... I think I killed my ECM when I replaced the some capacitors on it.
I've got another ECM on the way.... Going to have to wait until Friday I suppose.
Though here's a trick I used to get the pump primed.
I placed duct tape over the gas tank cap opening. I poked a hole in it and used my compressor to pressurize it by sticking the end of my air gun in the hole! Worked great I think!
coooool!
sounds like you have fuel pressure now.
did you check for spark ?

Good idea!
Bummer.....
You are doing well. It will be a runner in no time flat.
Keep in mind JDM engines. The 1.6l is right around $850 shipped, low miles as well😃
I will keep the JDM engines in mind! I had planned on keeping my 1.3L for a while since it runs but by now The harness and the samurai is pretty solidly set up for the 1.6L. So if this engine ever kicks the bucket I'll just put another 1.6L in it.
Has fuel pressure I'm sure!
I got it running this morning!! Still not sure what I did though
I had the samurai running Tuesday afternoon. After a minute I saw some smoke coming from the dash.
I shut off the engine and disconnected the battery and discovered that a trace on the dash flexible pcb had burned up. I discovered that I hadn't connected the black/white wire properly. Anyway, I got it running today and drove it to work. I suspect I have an oil leak on the front of the engine near the drivers side. Not sure what to think about that....
I missed your post from yesterday - good work getting it running - Congrats!
Doubly that you found the cause to "letting the smoke out".
Oil leak - pfft - small stuff.
Did you replace the distributor orings (2) ?
Almost always a source of oil leaks.
I did not replace the distributor o-rings on this engine yet. I think it was just leftover oil that got caught between the engine and the power steering pump.
Here's a video of the first time running it.
