A g16b EFI motor is a 1.6 litre 16 valve engine from a Suzuki vitara. It makes a bit over 40% more power and 30% more torque than the 1.3 litre motor used in the sierra. It's an excellent swap and well worth the hassle of having engineered.

I got the impression that it was an already built car coming in from another state. I imagine that will add a bit to the cost. Engineering approval is quite expensive in Victoria. It pays to shop around. The car won't be able to be registered in Vic without approval though, so the car is pretty worthless without approval.
