Possible swap

[Damkid]

back in the summer time i notice a suzuki swift gt with a 1.3l DOHC sitting at a garage, well yesterday i was driving past and noticed it still there so i stopped in to ask about it, the guy said it was a customers car and the guy who owned was older and ran out of money so i asked if he could get a hold of the guys who owns it to see if he wants to sell it

my question is, is this part of the B series so it'll bolt to my tranny? if so would it be worth while doing this swap? i do drive about 35 mins. one way to work so mileage is somewhat imortant, but then again even a BP wouldn't be hard on gas compared to whats out there

No, it is a Suzuki motor called the G13B. It will not bolt on to your festiva transmission if that's what you're asking.

It would be a cool project though. www.ssgti.com

I done research on Geo Metros before I bought my festiva cause I like small cars.

There's metro tuner guy near my house that has a gti turbo... it looks cool... I'm gonna have to race him in the BP car someday

well, that kinda sucks. now do you have any idea if the wheel base is the same? and if the outer splines on the axles are the same?

what i'm thinking is if it won't bolt on to my tranny, but the axles will fit into the festiva spindles can i take the motor tranny combo and drop them in and be able to use the swift axles

It would probably be a complicated swap since they are from 2 different manufacturer's. So unless you can fabricate all custom mounting you might want to stick with a Mazda engine.

Thats one heck of a swap project just to lose about 2 seconds off the quarter when a B6T can put you into the 14's.

Given the two cars weigh about the same, 1700 lbs, you wouldn't gain much.

Two good choices would be to either buy it and tune it. Or keep looking for a Mazda engine for the festiva.

ya you guys are right it work be extensive amount of work. I just thought it would be cool to have a 1.3 DOHC well thanks for all the comments

You could always import a Festiva GTX front cut with a 1.3 DOHC!
