The FE and AW-4 would cost less than the dyno bill alone from trying to tune a turbo G13.

Steve.

I like that idea! They are really cheap!

thanks a lot for the comments guys it really did change my thoughts apon things
maybe a engine conversion would look good in the near future

[pezz]

what engine/gearbox combo are you thinking?

[jonfromhamilton]

all the info on Auszookers is so definate on anti-turbo and I am greatful for that.
I have a friend who wanted to turbo my car when it's all g16b'd up and I was all keen until looking on this site and seeing all the well respected gurus telling everyone not to do it.
I think it would be cheaper and easier to do the ca18 conversion so do that and then a write up on it.

I'm not anti-turbo in the slightest. I have a G16 that has been supercharged many years and is in the process of having a turbo being fitted.

The common advice is to not expect to add forced induction with minimal supporting mods and a low cost.
Most of the successfully turbocharged vehicles here have $10k+ in engine rebuilds, engine management and tuning. I'm close to 3 times that figure myself, and the gains for offroading in areas where a Suzuki really excels are not balanced for the expense.

Agreed. Generally speaking, throwing more cubes at the engine bay is a more reliable solution than forced induction, and its more often than not, cheaper too.
