engine enhancements
« on: August 18, 2004, 08:03:33 AM »
I found this web site, and this guy mention that you can put a carburator, or a super charger, in a sidekick/tracker, but there are not very many details about that, ??? can anybody explain this? this is the link : www.rlb.50megs.com/trkenginepower.html

And there are not many superchargers
and side draft manifolds either, lots of
options for improved power with cam and
exhaust, or a Turbo  ::)

 Looks to me like he just robbed a little out of an old Calmini catalog. They don't sell the Camden supercharger anymore, Camden is no more. Someone bought the tooling and stuff, but I have no idea who, and they don't make the zuki one at all.
And Calmini doesn't make the intakes anymore either.

I saw a post somewhere, a few months ago, where the company that bought Camden was wanting people with the Zuk supercharger to contact them. Maybe going to release it again :-/ I'll try to find it.

Hawk Strictly Suzuki can also help you out in your plight, I have one of their dual sidedraft manifolds and carbs works eeexxxcellent with a stroked out motor.







Wish I could figure out how to post a mini film of my truck running down the road, it pulls the front wheels off the ground with the new gearing.







When I figure it out you will be seeing alot of stupid she-yit of me driving. -CZ  ;D

So here's an interesting debate issue. Since the Sidekick has a bigger engine compartment than the Samurai AND Suzuki is making larger engines that bolt to existing Suzuki Sidekick drivetrain, why would one want to hop up the smaller engine when it would be cheaper to install the newer large engines?

I guess what would help if there was a vendor that could 'kit' this process of putting a V6 into a Sidekick. That could add a degree of confidence.

Thoughts?

I think that it would be a great boost to the suzuki community but it might be hard to keep the price resonable enough for the normal consumer. They cant leave out the die hard hold outs for the last samurai's either. My thoughts are that anything the few venders that do support us put into production is a good thing.

Thats the way I'm thinking at the moment. Over here they used to turbo 410s, then they turbod 413s they stopped that when the 1.6 become available. The V6 has to a complex swop but the 2ltr? thats around 110bhp, my 1.6 8V is 80, thats nearly a 30% power increase, loads more torque and the driveability and reliability of a stock motor. And I then have a spare 1.6 and an underpowered 410......
