Please don't yell at me, but i have a serious craving for more power out of the Sierra...
I know alllllllll about the usual GTI conversions, but as hose engines are hard to come by in Perth I was wondering if any of these would work?

Any thing will 'work/fit' providing you have the time, money, skills, etc....to make it work

[also76]

iv'e seen heaps of GTI motors and cars around, nice and easy to do, same as the 1.6 jobs, id stick to that as anything else is just to much f*cking around in my opinion.

[ridzilla]

I shouuld rephrase that,

Is it worth doing?

Where abouts?
I cant fnd any anywheeere

I know the CA18de has been done on one(maybe 2/3) zooks on this site. To be honest the fit is like putting a condom on a elephant so i wouldnt want to imagine the CA20 . Unless of course they're the same size??? I dont know.

But if your just after the most worthwhile conversion its either the g16a/b or the GTI conversion as you've said. Yes they've both been done more times than you can poke a stick at, but thats just because there easy enough conversions to do.

Of course this is all my own opinion. And to tell you the truth i always like seeing people doing different things, as it shows massive amounts of time, skill and most importantly money.

I would really want to do the GTi/16B conversion but they are unbelievably hard to come by near me ;(
I don't mind trying an unusual conversion, once things settle down at work I'll have alot of time, incredible amount of knowledge and skill (ONLY DUE TO THE 8 HD MECHANICS AT WORK) and money can be subsidized for beer

[steak_knife]

G16b is perfect, not heavy & nice power...

[alien]

be the first to make an M series engine fit a sierra.... m18... you know you wanna.

I had to import my g16b from victoria. Just had to add $200 to the final bill for freight. Would be cheaper for you. Finding one up here is impossible.

[ridzilla]

Ohhh Alien, don't tempt me! But if you find an engine, I could be persuaded

And Sogone! where did you buy it from? Privately or from a shop?

Already been done with a m15a

[MrRocky]

i may have one i will be selling/installing in a few weeks but ring the zuk shops, there is no cheap option unless u can do 99% yourself

[ridzilla]

NO WAY! Suzistore is asking like $2,500 for a G16B plus Adapter kit :/

And I can do nearly all of it, if not everything

I think a 'm' series motor would be cheaper! Brain put a m18a into a jimny for just a tad over 3k.....

[alien]

who did the M15 into sierra??? i missed that... how'd they do the gearbox/transfer?

mate if u cant find a gti or a 1.6 donk then i think you underestimate the scope/commitment of the swaps, they are readily available u need to look harder.
installed the 2 shops in perth charge 5 - 7.5 k for a 1.6 drive in drive out.

[Lil_Rat]

Well if that's the case.

DO IT, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO. Probably wouldnt fit the engine bay though. So i say rear mount it.

[ridzilla]

I have unlimted time as I'm driving one of the 4.2TD Crusier work utes atm...
And the mechs at work want a project to work on

And to add, I may not have 5-7.5k laying around

[monley]

My vote goes to m18a Suzistore have one in stock to with 55,000 KM on the motor

[ridzilla]

http://www.suzistore.com.au/shopexd.asp?id=1838

What about this M15A?

Why bother with the 1.5 if your going to all that effort? Maze well do a m18a conversion...only difference between the 2 is the m18a has more power

[ridzilla]

Yeeees I saw that build thread!
do you have a link to the m18a monkey?

What from suzistore? Looks the same as a m15a

BTW that swift motor has been on there web site for over a year....
