Blow through suzuki 1.3
This is my samurai. Its still a huge work in progress but I did finally get it to make hot water last night.
I have been messing around with them for a while and have always been really happy with how they wheel but have never liked the output of the engines. So I have been trying some differnt things.
My first try at getting the motor to run better was just trying to do what evryone else pretty much did. I ran the 1000cc 3 cyl pistons wich are flat tops, (everyone says they are higher compression then they are, with the pistons down the hole 15 thou the actuall compression ended up being 9.2) I used a 1.6 8 valave tracker head and a calmini header, it uses a larger valve and port. I also used a hawk cam. My original dyno sheet made a whopping 40rwhp with the 30 inch tires. After this build I made 48hp. I swapped on a weber and while it made really good power it absolutely sucked off road.
It stalled ascending really bad, turning it around helped climbimg but made decending just as bad. So I tried a setup useing gsx600 suzuki carbs and a custom manifold I made to mate them to the head
The carbs worked great, no drivabilty problems, way better power above 5K and they never stalled, even on some hardcore climbs, even rolled it onto its door and it stayed running, so that part was a giant step in the right direction. I dyno'd the new setup too and it made 74hp at 7K. Wich is 1500 rpm more than with the crappy weber. The extra revs really helped get the rig onto the freeway. So anyway I decided that I wanted to try to turbo the damn thing I got a audi 1.8 turbo from a friend, built a manifold and a inlet plenum for the carbs and put it together
Anyway, I got it running but I still need to do the fuel system for it, I'm useing a aeromotive regulator, return line, and a walbro inline pump. I'm also going to use a msd 6btm to retard v. boost. I'm trying to get my act together as far as tuning goes before I dive all the way in. I have boost ref'd the carbs float vents, and have filled the floats with foam so I'm about ready to give it a reall try. Has anyone here meesed with these things at all? I would really appreciate any help or insight in terms of things to look for.

Re: Blow through suzuki 1.3
What suzuki carb's are they Kehin vacuums? And really nice job on that Intake P, but really where's the rest of the shots of the e-manifold with that K03 hangin on it and the down pipe leaving it? Did you fab that stuff up as well? And really, while you're at it, Don't you think you should fab up **** to go with this "mock-up".
