We just got done doing a pretty extensive rebuild on my samurai. New motor, new axles, new fuel system, new exhaust, pretty much every mechnical part had to be gone through. It was in rough shape. A local Mustang shop was having a dyno day today. And who ever had the lowest and highest numbers for the day got their $40 back for the dyno fee. Owning a samurai I knew I had it in the bag. Plus my curiosity was piqued.
Stock Engine rebuild with standard sized pistons
4:56 Richmond gears
31" tires
2" exhaust with no muffler and cat
52hp/66tq corrected
42hp/54tq uncorrected
Lowest numbers I have ever seen in my life. But was totally worth not having to pay for it. What a blast. And this turd goes nearly anywhere with such little power. I love it.
