as to suzuki engine
this is what google gave me as it first page
just thought you should know
If searching for a specific vendor like "Hawk Suzuki" or "Trail Tough Suzuki", I wouldn't use "suzuki engine" as my search parameter.
thanks JZ
. i have been told my best option is to swap out the 1.6 8V for a 1.6 16Valve with harnes and ECM . doing the trany at the same time since i have so many miles .
1) "best" is hard to define, as there's a lot of variables: budget, availability, aftermarket support, power needs, MPG etc and so on.
2) I'm of the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" school of thought. If the transmission is good,I'd leave it alone. Do, however, inspect the clutch - now may be a good time to replace it.
now what i have been told is that i should go with that set up from a 1992-95 Geo /GM/chevy tracker 4 door or suzuki 4 door so as to get the trany with overdrive and such .
I'm pretty sure the only transmission that didn't have OD is the 3-speed auto. The 3-speed auto is a good option if you plan on going with 31-33" tires down the road.
now as i understand it this would only result in a need for a diffrent trany mount and a 3 inch shorter drive line for my 2 door 1989 sidekick .
I can't think of a reason you can't use the drive shaft you have already. While you're in there, check for u-joint slop.
are there ANY other vehicals that i should consider as a donor vehical to get this engine , trany , ecm and harness ?
Those are the ones to look for to source a 16V. But, IMHO, if you're going to go to the trouble to swap out wiring harness / ecu / header / turn key engine... seems like a lot of time & money for 15 more HP. If the head you have is still good - you may only need to replace the bottom end of your 8v, and be good to go. Have you had your head inspected? Have you looked for a JDM replacement? I'd either stick with fixing / replacing the 8v, or jump up to the 2.0L (60% more power). I don't agree that the 16v is the "best" way to go... but as I said, "best" is subjective.
