| Post subject: | Engine Swaps for a vitara carby |
Hey guys, I am after some advice, I have a 91 1.6 Carby vitara soft top that I use to drive before I brought the hardtop I have currently. Its not registed and its not running at current. Im considering turning it into a little project and fixing it up. I know this may have been covered a million times but engine wise I would prefer to change it to an EFI than fix whatever needs to be fixed to fix up the carby. hasnt been driven or started for several years and stole a few bits off it for my hardtop. Is it relitively easy to do the change over to efi? and say I did change it would it be noticably different to the carby and be worthwhile doing? Also is there any other engines which swap over into a vitara that are reasonably easy to change over? |

The only thing that will be a "bolt up" will be the G16B.... Anything is possible, depending on how much time, effort and money that you are willing to throw at it... |

There will be almost as much work in fitting a EFI G16B into a carby vit as it is fitting one to a sierra. You will still need elec mods, exhaust mods, intake and airbox mods, fuel system mods etc.... Realiasticly, how much of the work can you do yourself?? |

ok thanks, yeah true Fatzook I dont have the experience myself to do alot of it, Im the first to admit I have a quite limited mechanical knowledge. But I do know some people who I could call on for help. Ideally if i did do it would be as a learning experience as well to try gain a bit more mechanical knowledge and hopefully pick up a few skills along the way. But its got to be worth doing, or else im better just to fix the carby up and be done with it. |
