Engines
Boggert:
To be honest mate, as soon as you say "Non std engine to Mr Insurance rip off" they will rip you off! :twisted: I would keep it to a std 1.3 and look at other mods. Motor car insurance in the UK has gone mad!!

I think i heard somewhere that the suzuki super carry (van) is the same engine as the SJ it's just fitted tilted over a bit
rollazuki:
The swift 1.3 16v is pretty similar, but the distributor sticks out the end of the motor, you can buy a small geared adaptor to sort thet out from a zuki place in belgium.
The head(twin cam) will swap, but you need the pistons as well(pocketed for 4 valves per cyl), so grief there, and its fuel infected, so more wiring grief and ecu's etc.
You can buy a manifold to fit twin webers, but then Im guessing the abysmal fuel consumption may put you off.
As has been said, the insurance will still kick yer ass if you modify it anyway, so you may as well fit the 1.6.
Other options include vauxhall motors. get a manta gearbox(carlton/omega) and a 1.6,1.8,2.0,1.5d,1.7d,1.7tdi,2.5v6
the sky is the limit, as are halfhshafts and cv joints!!
MadMacs:
Vitara engine is by far the easiest, exactly the same block.
crazycol:
hello mate im only 19, i have a zuki vitara 1.6, and my insurance is just under a grand, and that is after an accident i had, so it sounds like the vitara engine is probably the best bet,, i say thjis but i dont no how much ur insurance is now, to compere with.
