The M16 swift sport motor is not the best option for a 4wd. It makes all its power and touque WAY up in the rev range. An M15 or M18 would be better.

x2. Plus they have electronic throttle control, not cable like the m13a/15/16 NON-vvt(early Liana from memory? )/18

I think a blown m15a non-vvt will keep me happy

Fly-by-wire Yep. No mechanical link between the accelerator and throttle body (ie, no cable).

Not sure if you could run another M-series manifold etc on the M16 sport motor, but I know there are internal differences ( strengthening) between the sport and other M-series motors.

Blown M15a FTW!

Fit one of these

What size blower is than Pete?

Wonder how much boost the motor could handle? 6-7psi safely?

Eaton M45. I'd factor in some engine work before boosting it. Suzuki motors aren't known for their strength under boost.

any news yet, I started a separate thread on this as im building an M18a with 87mm sleeves, slugs, good rods and boost.

definitely one of the best upgrades of all on these forums. The only thing that could beat it would be a J24B turbo

I was looking at the 4 speed auto also but its totally electronic with no chance to fully manualised it.

JrZook (our electronics god) and co were were looking at building some sort of stand alone control box for an AW4 a while ago, maybe get in contact with them?

[datso]

will do as the brittish have quite a few autos out there

The manuals having no removable bellhousing limits conversion like the RingR

I want to see clips of it running - or it didn't happen. ALthough I expect He must have finished it, no way anyone would give up after that amount of effort and so close to the finish line.

page 5 of his build thread has movies of it driving

Spoke to suzistore today, they said it doesn't look possible. They currently are doing a "m" series conersion into a swb and they have used a non-vvt box with a Sierra 5spd extension housings on the back of the jimmy box. This means the stick still comes through the stock gear stick hole. Strength wise...no improvmeants So it looks like non-vvt box is the best option

[JrZook]

So my guess was right about that suzistore gearbox combo!!

So you're just swapping inadequate parts for more of the same?
