This thread will be for all of those who have information to share in regards to 1.6L conversions and motors. If it is useless information I will delete the post and it can be started in a different thread. Pictures, advice, tips and information will all be very useful and left on.<br><br><br><br>-Kyle Jones<br> TeamSwift Adminstrator <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub83.ezboard.com/bteamswift.showUserPublicProfile?gid=whattheeee>Whattheeee</A> at: 1/9/03 6:04:04 pm<br></i>

My swap is almost finished if u wanna check it out go to
http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/425924/3

This weekend i'm gonna fill her up with oil and see if it wanna start and how it runs. Then i will make an apointment with the dynoguy to let him finetune my SAFC2 and my cam gears.


A fellow dutch suzuki nut nox6 had done his swap a while back and it's already up and running great and i hope he doesn't mind i use some off his pics in here to explain something to the future 1.6 DOHC enthousiasts

A few things that will need some attention when swapping

U will have to enlarge some off the holes in ur 1.6 head gasket to make sure cooling fluid can flow like it should.


U will have to make a plate thick enough to make ur back engine support fit also u will have to adjust the half shaft housing to make sure the axels will fit properly and u can bolt on the housing like it should we both enlarged the holes to 13mm and took 7.5mm off the back of the housing
(Jarda his made drawings for such a half shaft housing so if u wanna do it the better way u can contact him about his half shaft housing)


Also the hood of the car won't close so u will have to put some rings under the engine supports so the engine will lay a little lower in the engine bay.

very interesting set up, please post a dyno on that.

HEEEEY randy

those are my pics from my site

the engine runs great, it has now 5k on it

website nox6

This is the website of nox6 including the 1.6 conversion. It is in dutch though, but worldlingo.com makes a pretty good translation.

there's a new layout on my site about my gti and the 1.6 project.

new update's are on there way, whitin 3 weeks from now (i hope)

ok just a couple q's i have a 1.6 bottem end and the doch head running witha teo4h turbo running a custom ecu ( started life as a stock hond ecu)
and custom built manifold, honda dissy, and honda sensors. The tunning is the easy part of this build but i have come up witha few concerns
rods look weak and i need to find a solution?
as for piston has anybody used a honda piston? with what sucess? I have many extra pistons laying around but i do not want to bother if i can find a better solution. I am aming to push 250-300 hp @ 4500-6000 With the tunning and the new addition of a water injection system I have no fear but I don't believe the bottom end is up to it?
what is the redline of said combo?
can this head handle 6000+ what rpm does valve float occur @

I'm not certain what your question relates to - these conversions are essentially putting the 16v DOHC head on a G16B

So what is the BEST headgasket to use for this setup?

heheh... did a little searching

heres one from my own conversion...its underway and will be updated soon...

ok guys this is what i have to say about this build first off this nonsense about they 1.6 engines being week foolishness i have built this swap and its currently in my car im reving 7000on shifting everday i open my car cuz i cant help it , for about 3 month and nothing has happened to it performance wise there is no comparison the 1.6 at 7000 with the 3.5 dif out of a 1.3 swift is beating blacktop 20valves and sr20s in b13 sentras convincingly so far i have had no issues with my car and its very fun to drive it builds way more power than a gti engine and the best part is when im ready i can slap on a turbo and go im on stock internals with some head work and lighten pulleys fully rebuilt 1.6 standard computer everything if u want to know anything feel free to ask also my biggest draw back is the weight transfer is different and u will nheed to step up to 15 or put on some good tyres when i corner now im finding the car is burning rubber in corners and also u will need stiffer springs if u want the car to handle better have not got that far as yet but when i do i will update i have loads of photos when i get around to it i will post them

I have a G16KV installed in my Samurai and am wondering since I am pulling it to rebuild it, is there anything I can economically do to help in the horsepower area? I know it would be a stretch but, can a DOHC head be adapted to my block? Otherwise, is there anything I should or could to to get all I can out of my motor to turn my 33" tires. I have owned the motor for about 5 years and have to stick with it since that is the harness I have installed and cannot afford to start over from scratch. Wish I had found out about the swift engine sooner. Any suggestions are more than welcome and appreciated. At this point it only has a SS 4 into 1 header and 1/14 inche exhaust that I had when the 1.3 was in it. Unfortunately I had just put a hotter cam in before I did the engine swap. Dollars down the drain as I figure that cam cannot be used in the current motor. My motor is out of a 97 Suzuki X-90. Thanx for any help you can provide. Getting ready to order the rebuild parts so need to start accumulating the info soon.

Pick up a cam from 3tech.

When I upgraded the cam in my 1.3 it did not give me what I wanted which was more top end. How far should I go with the cam and what will it do for my offroad or on road performance. I wrote to them even tho they seem to specialize in 3 cylinder motors. I guess hence their name, 3tech.
