Hey i am new to this forum,  but i am not new to turbo cars,  I just picked up an 89 sidekick to beat around in this summer,  great shape for $500. 
ANyway one of my other cars is an 87 chevy sprint turbo,  anyone familiar with these?  kind of rare.  It is a 1.0 liter 3 cylinder suzuki G10t fuel injected, turboed and intercooled rocket of an engine.  Base hp is about 80 and 105ftlb of torque,  more power is just a boost controller away.  My sprint is making close to 150hp i am guessing, and the great thing is the complete engine weighs under 100lbs.

ANyone ever considered swapping one of these into a sidekick?  Pretty sure it would bolt up to the tranny no problem.  Would also need the wiring harnees but that isnt that complicated.

Hello,

I had one of those in high school,they are little rockets,but think the 1.6L would out run the 1.0L turbo.....but the turbo on the 1.6L with intercooler???Might have something there.Wild has a subaru turbo on his....I'm sure he will chime in...

Later Tom K.

1.0 won't fit the trans, fits a Sammy trans tho

1.0 won't fit the trans, fits a Sammy trans tho

Unless, you find the "magical" bell housing that was used 1 year in the '89 kicks with the 1.3 engine. That bellhousing will adapt a 1.0/1.3 to the Sidekick transmission.

Good luck....

I looked all over for a Turbo Spring/Swift/Firefly when I had my Metro Convertible...
