    I want one of those motors, how much they run, how do I get one?
    Maybe even a 121 Front Clip with ecu and engine harness.

      I like the JDM mirrors....and the front bumper is nice....but i'd personally go with the euro bumpers.....

      I agree with the others about the rear seat with the headrests....really cool!

      What is diffrent with the GTX hood??.....I looked at it a million times and can't see the diffrence!

      Also if the DOCH 1.3l engine shares the same block as our cars.....why not just import the heads only to save on cost and shipping....are the internals of the block the same....


      I know that in the Swift GT....it shared the same common block as the SOCH 1.3 (swift,metro) but the internals (piston crankshaft ect) where different......

      ????
      for FYI: It's not same our B3 engine! BJ Engine have special design for higher RPM while our B3 block cant handle it! It have different pistol head, crankshaft, rings, water pump, and etc... much closer to same B6 - B6T same of exhaust/intake manifolds fitting.

      The GTX Hood have real steel one and it using stock latch and no need pins.

            Ya I kind of figured it would be like the swift GT engine........I bet it would be a nice engine for autocross.....not to mention....I bet it would be very reliable!

              Yeah it's close to Swift GTI (G13B) 1.3L DOHC 16v but it got 1298cc while (BJ) 1.3L DOHC 16v have 1300cc

              I figures might be slight over 100HP if it was BJ engine.

              while Swift GTI G13B have 100HP at 6500RPM correct anyone?

                  other than the rarity i don't see a reason to slobber over that engine. i think the hp is around 80-90 and who knows what problems you may encounter trying to get it talking to the ecu. ya i like the big dohc valve cover but i think you'd have better results with the capri na 1.6

                      todd00: but what is the cost to import one?
                      It would be depends like what you are getting...like front cut or itself the engine?

                      Sure the B6T is more common to find in here but having like BJ or BJT is something make you feel so different and just a rare special stock engine which mean for real stock Festiva performance from Japan. It can spin high as 7,200 - 7,500 RPM something before the redline if I am correct.

                      I would like to research it myself with BJ or add turbo as BJT

                          Yes, correct on the 100 hp stat for the suzuki 1.3 16 valve.
