G161z are awesome engines bro, mine goes like the clappers Good work Nah Methodz, gems come with G161z motors which are 1600cc ohc things. They go well, mine struggles..needs a tune up but definately has potential. Alot better than the super dirty 1256 in the chevettes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burntrubber Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Pretty sweet dude, I didn't know they made TEs in 1982!! My TE is an 82. Those G161z Gem engines are tough I have'nt killed one yet and I have had three Gemini's and I've turboed one of them and it still has'nt died either. Your Gem looks tough mate well done.

Gaz Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 thank fucken god for that. Does the gearbox mount up to the old chevette ones? The gem box is weird isnt it. comes from further forward if i remember right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Nah the chevette motor is completely different. Its actually from a viva - imagine how slow those were. Plus its actually a third generation, the first was only 1057cc, the second 1159cc and the final 1256! Its hard to imagine any engines slower than the 1256 ay. The 1600 from the gemi is part of the g series family which is used in the bellets, 117s, gemis, piazzas and rodeos (maybe some others) varying from 1.6,1.8,2.0 and 2.6 from memory. I think the gearbox xmember and driveshaft are different, but as far as the engine isself goes, they will all bolt into a chevette if you use gemini mounts (and chop the front out of you engine bay ) And yea gemi gearboxes are whack the selector is long as and comes from right up near the firewall. Gangletron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
