I don't understand why people go ahead and modify the stock 1.6 flywheel when they can easily fit a 1.8, 2.0 or 2.3 flywheel in the stock 1.6 bell housing and that is way less expensive and you have the added benefit of having a stronger and heavier flywheel (which means more torque). With the under taker this will change my gearing from 7.32:1 to 7.83:1 which will put it closer to the power band on the freeway. I am changing the gearing, again, to 5.29. I still need to look at a 2nd gen tracker to see if the stock locations of the cats will work with my 1st gen will all the suspension mods. The engine bay is modified though but the slated engine for the sport would not pass CARB so they stuck the 1.8 in instead. The 1.8l in the sidekick sport is the same engine family as the 2.0-2.7. My transmission and transfer case will work with the engine but needs a new belhousing. I have done some research and have come up with this. I saw the balducci brother tracker which I really like but it is not smog legal and with all my links and such keeping the cats in the right place may be difficult. So I will keep you guys informed about my progress. This means that either no body has done it and Brent is working on something like this or there may be a hitch to do it. Linda did say that only he would know the answer to my question. I did call Trail Tough and Brent is out of town so I will pick his brain when he gets back. That had to be the most worthless link/thread I have ever been reffered to.
