all help would be greatly apprieciated

thanks dan

A standard sierra has a g13ba motor already.

Has yours been modified?

The g13a is out of a swift.

They are all very similar motors.

1298 or 1324cc

Your post was very hard to read. What type/year of sierra do you have?

If the g13a is in the car already, yes swap everything to the g13ba. (the 'ba' should be setup already anyway)

Nope, not all of them.

Depends on the year, the early 1.3s were a G13A...

Ah,k so they were:
Early G13a's are 1324cc's.
Later G13ba's are 1298cc

Swift G13a's are 1298cc?

[Ben_Sierra]

Early Swift and Sierra 1.3s are both G13A, 1324cc

The G13BA (1298cc) found its way into the engine line up during 1989 IIRC...

Piss easy.

Well way easier than a 4L v8 into a 40 series..

Get an adaptor kit and it just about does everything for you....

Though obviously if you go G16B its EFI, and the electrical stuff will be the hard bit...

[2-stroke]

mmm electrics lol we dont get along very well haha

not quite...

Sump and pickup is different in the vitara, you will need to run a modified sierra sump and pickup as the vitara sump will smack the diff housing.

standard sierra starter motor will also hit the block, upgrade it to a reduction drive or grind the side of the starter motor down until it clears the block.

also vitara conversions are very dirty as the throttle body points towards the passenger side, its a messy bit of pipe work to make your way back over to the drivers side. Use Jimny Injection gear and camshaft with coilpack setup and baleno 1.6 injectors. The throttle body points towards the front then and you can make up a pipe to go back down to your sierra air box.

not necessarily, i know of a few 1.6 with vit sump in sierra conversions that have had no clearance issues.
my spring under SWB is one of them.

did you raise the height of the motor via the mounts?

[taszook]

sorry to sorta hijack thread but has anyone put a 1.5l twin cam swift motor in a sierra? like 2007 sorta model? seem to have good power/torque and are a half decent price. how easy a fit is it? or not worth the hassle

[steak_knife]

By no mean's an easy fit, you will need a jimny g/box ( you just made a weak point) & all the plumbing & manifold's of a jim to, if you plan on using the swift Ecu you may want to figure out a way to either bypass the immob or run the swift bcm ( body control module).

Once in tho, it would be very responsive & FAST!
