project boost build! (non-honda)
if you guys don't know i drive a suzuki swift gt-t
it was making 180whp @ 10psi and 200whp @ 12psi without any managment.
here's what it looked like
i have decided to do some changes to the motor to build a better response car because the turbo was to laggy and there was some head problems.
this is how she sits
motor is being built at a local shop awaiting new parts
IE: JE forged low compression pistons and more.
3 INCH downpipe
old turbo (t3/t4) will be swapped by a small t3 out of a saab.
i know it's RUSTY! it's old and will be sanded down and painted flat black
decided to "tilt" my gauges
replacing the "CLASSIC"
with the new style
tuner lugs
and my new/old rims
and the website responsible
if you are wondering why do this to a swift?
it's because i choose to be different i have grown a liking to these cars and wanted to make something fast but sleeper and unexpected.
megasquirt V3 will be also installed and tunning.
projected to hit about 225-250 whp 17-20psi.
please post if you see. AND CHECK YOUR NEGATIVITY AT THE DOOR!

X2 how much dose that thing weigh?
i remember reading some were about on of these cars with a 3 cylinder engine in it i think it was sports compact car
Anyway if i remember correctly the thing had a supercharger with carburetor on it 850cfm i think it was the thing was a putting some kind of crazy hp down
so this is not to much of a suprise i guess

you are somewhat correct. but that is a different car. you are referring to the pontiac firefly turbo. which is a 1.0 liter boosted.
not this car suzuki swift gt was a 1.3 DOHC N/A motor that pushed out 100hp stock.
independent suspension and also 4 wheel disc brakes.
