Great info on these F6A variants. Also this is the one time where I didn't skip a sponsor segment. Harry is the best. 🤣

My Alto has the 12v DOHC turbo and has alternator by the firewall and ac is up front on the other side of the engine. Crank pulley looks like the AZ1 in the video.

@GarageKei 4 года назад

Well there goes my theory. Lol I was sure the alternator was on the exhaust side. Guess not. I need to look harder.

In regards to the crank pulleys, some may be better for fitting a Trigger Wheel -- do most of yours mentioned have the same crank diameter / keying ?

@GarageKei 4 года назад

To my knowledge they all have the same crank diameter. The crank seal is the same.... I could measure it I suppose. Skuzzle Motorsports makes a trigger wheel.

Yo so my f6A from my ja11v Jimny blew. I was wondering if I could buy forged Pistons for a f6A cappuccino and swap them ? I'm thinking not coz cappuccino f6A is 4 valve per cylinder :/. I'm trying to source an oversized piston as the walls are scored

@GarageKei Год назад

Am I right in assuming your ja11v is a single cam turbo? If so then you're correct that Twincam pistons will not work. There are oversized pistons listed on Yahoo auction.

Have an alto works rsr with a tired SOHC turbo setup, considering an f6a DOHC or a k6a swap. trying to retain the 5 speed and AWD system... Will either bolt in? Will obviously have to relocate some things and run different engine management... any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated.

@GarageKei 2 года назад

Will bolt right in without any trouble. If you can get your hands on a twin cam from an alto then just get the wiring harness and the ECU for that. Then it should just all fit. I'm guessing your car is a cr22s?

I I have a question you may be able to answer for me . Do you know if a k6a will bolt to a f6a transmission. I am in the us and looking at a carry that has a blowup f6a engine in it I also located a wrecked articat snow machine that has a k6a turbo engine in it . That gets me double the power and efi .

Yes the transmission bolt pattern is the same. F6a and k6a are interchangeable.

Any thoughts on the difference in power with SOHC turbo and DOHC turbo motors? It looks like they're factory rated for the same HP. I'm looking at importing an Alto Works and just wondering if it's worth the premium for the DOHC in the RS/X vs SOHC in the IE/S.

@GarageKei 2 года назад

The Twincam will outperform the single cam. Parts for the Twincam are more readily available. Rs/x or rs/r all the way.

@sean7193 2 года назад

thanks for the great video! I just got a truck with a single cam non turbo f6a. pretty sure I need a complete new motor. will any of the other motors work without too much trouble? or am I stuck with the earlier single cam non turbo hemi motor?

@GarageKei 2 года назад

I love the n/a f6a they are soooo solid!!! Slow, but solid... I do not like the single cam turbo. That would bolt in but you'll need the correct matching engine harness (there's more than one)... The Twincam won't bolt in because it's too tall... I made it fit in my truck but it required an intake manifold, exhaust manifold and 1inch spacers to lower the whole assembly. If you Google Yokohama motors you should be able to order a new motor. If you just want parts then I have a whole single cam n/a motor here that I can part out. If you have any other questions, shoot.

@sean7193 2 года назад

@GarageKei 4 года назад

I've never heard of these engines getting rid knock. They normally blow from lack of fuel or no oil. Other than that they're bullet proof imo. Best to talk to the people who have rod knock and try and figure out what they are not telling you about what caused it.

Impossible to know that. This video is about three different engines. All EFI f6a and they all have different AC solenoids and vacuum hose configuration...

@fredericrike5974 4 года назад

As a suggestion, write up all your shoots and presentations as outlines first. Include info on set up and important order. In the margins, add any notes on important shots. Start there and the rest should follow along directly! Getting better each time, never achieving perfect is the norm- even million dollar movies have "production flaws". The outline and it's flow, will help you get the edit you were looking for- and much quicker.

@GarageKei 4 года назад

Yea what you have described is filming going out to film and getting something done. This is what I need to do for videos like this. My approach is always get something done and film it. As there is no plan to getting that thing done the filming is a mess. I'll learn eventually.

@jacknaye8143 Год назад

Is the k6a better than the f6a?

@GarageKei Год назад

Get asked this a lot.... The answer is yes and no. First, which f6a??? K6a vs Twincam? K6a has more torque, has a timing chain instead of belt, is lighter, and iirc has better head cooling.. F6a is cast iron block and if built correctly is virtually indestructible but it can have cooling issues in the head. It's belt driven cams make it easier to work on imo but that's just me... I don't think one is better than the other. Just different. I prefer f6a because I'm familiar with them and find them a lot easier to work on.

@jacknaye8143 Год назад

My brother just ordered a 1992 cappuccino, we live in Colorado at about 6000 feet of elevation. Do you think he needs to get it tuned before running it at that elevation?

@wilberforcelukanga2452 3 года назад

How about the F6a crankshaft, does it differ or it the same through all the different models

@GarageKei 3 года назад

I'm not sure, I haven't checked the part numbers. if you'd like to do that and let me know, it's very easy to do. Just Google search megazip. Find the crank for the cappuccino and then compare the part number to other vehicles that have the f6a. shouldn't take very long. I'm on a road trip and I probably will have forgotten by the time I get back.
