New guy here, not honda tough
 

I´ve been looking at this site/forum for a while now, like a bible, but only now decided to join...

I know this site is more honda orientated... but i ask you to broad your mind and welcome a suzuki swift gt-i with a "HMT" build-up going on...

I´ve allways loved cars... and decided to make them my life, i´m a SAAB mechanic and a true "motorhead"...

When i recived my license, all i wanted was a honda, but fortunatly at that time a nice swift gt-i came into my hands... car that i truly love... been trough 4 already...

Currently i´m turbocharging mine with a complete home made setup, the turbo is from a saab, intercooler from a vw, custom hand made log style manifold, saab bov, etc...

Hope you like the car and help me out on doing this properly...
Here´s my URL with full details on the car: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/557019 turbo details on page 5...

Re: New guy here, not honda tough
 

those little bad boys are hard to find. props to you for something different.

Cool, so I'm assuming that those engines are 75mm bore too, what's the stroke? Looks just like a Honda motor only it spins the right way. :)

those babies have soo much potential under that little engine. i have seen those running 13's at 2600 meters above sea level.

Those are cool little cars. A local guy that owns a garage (and has tons of sweet cars. SWEET CARS) has one of those for his daily driver.

linkmustang - i´m a SAAB mechanic...

alpalwal - i think it stands for gran turismo injection

2tonehatch - yeap, i´m really happy with the suzi, great litlle fun car...very fast and reliable...

nonvtec - Bore: 74.0 mm, Stroke 75.5 mm, yes, the engine is very similar to honda b16/18 dohc engines...

SinisterCRX - great little reliable and economic car, here´s a very comprehensive forum on all swifts, everything you wanted to know, and more, about this cars at www.teamswift.net... but for me the GT-i is the only one worth having...
But if you want a car for commuting, the GA´s the one...

I have some questions regarding my setup here: https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...4668#msg594668 any help would be welcome...

Pretty much the same as a Geo Metro if I'm right and done my researching in the right places. Just a better engine and susp but same platform I think.
