Subruise Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 hey man, that thing looks a lot like a geo metro...........sorry, had to do it. awesome car RV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacyork Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 ahh so its all show no go. sadly there isnt a lot of options for swapping. people have done ej swaps but your looking at quite a bit of fab. thats the 3 cylinder right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacyork Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 correction, that should be the 1.3. maybe you could swap the suzuki 1.6 16valve from the sidekick or geo tracker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subruise Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 mazda 13b rotary swap:headbang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howells14 Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 i was thinking the suzuki or mazda but which one is better to go for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacyork Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 the suzuki swap would probably be a lot easier. but the mazda swap sounds cooler. have people stuck rotary motors in these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howells14 Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 im not sure but there are a lot of swifts in my area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacyork Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 the suzuki swift will have i think the same motor as you. you gotta find the suzuki sidekick or geo tracker. the little suv things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brysawn Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I would not do a 13b, or any rotary for that matter. But if you do, at least do a 20b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brumby420 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 why not just an ej22? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacyork Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 ej swaps are hard on these because it a transversley mounted engine. the ej takes up the whole engine bay. the biggest problem with these swaps is mounting the transmission. you gotta be decent with welder and fab work.

zacyork Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 the suzuki 1.3 is transversely mounted. my last post felt a little confusing.another words its mounted in the engine bay like a honda with the tranny beside it enstead of behind it like the EJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howells14 Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 ive found a Suzuki vitara (Sidekick) would the engine just fit in nicely or would there be a bit of hacking and bashing to be done? the engines available are all 4x4 and come in 1.6, 1.8 or 2.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacyork Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 i have no hands on experience with this swap but should be feasable. have fun searching threads:grin: you might have to venture beyond usmb. hopefuly not there are some experienced people on here.

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 hey man, that thing looks a lot like a geo metro... That's Because it is a Rebagged Suzuki Swift as Subaru Justy (a.k.a: Geo Metro) Nice Little Car, I Like it. Why do you Want to do an Engine Swap? Kind Regards.

ThreeEyedBandit Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Thats a really nice AWD Swift!! I would vote for a mildly boosted G13B for an engine swap. Why are you from? Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
