suzisport has a complete kit right now that has EVERYTHING to drop a 1.6EFI in for $3000 that includes shipping. the kit include complete engine wire harness, computer, addaptor kit for the trans, fuel pump, fuel lines and a few other things. All you need is a place to put it in. when you call there ask for ummmmm I can't think of his name...... Some one help me out what is the owners name???? is it Daniel????? |

Oh and a nother cheap way is to go to your local wrecked car auction and get a vitara that had been rolled or had a bad rear ender and transplant everything. |

I am guessing its a 1 litre? if so it makes fitting a 1.6 a little more work, youll need a body lift most likely as the tunnel and bonnet are different, youll need to get a 1.3 gearbox and make up a jackshaft and engine and gearbox mounts to suit, so a drive in 1.6 carby conversion will still be pretty dear. 1 litres are pretty tuff engines, get it rebuilt and turbo it

If it's a 1lt yo can go the toyota 5k & 5 speed, suzi sport used to do a kit of jack shaft, eng mount adaptors & g/box mount. toy moter is reliable but thay are getting rare. |

Have you thought about putting in a G13b? They are meant to be a fair bit faster, and more reliable. Im almost finished putting one in my zook atm- Im from adelaide too if you want to come and have a look! |

 You boy's complain about the fuel consumption now, a 13b rotor use's more fuel at idle than a zook valve bouncing!!!
