Title: 1.0 liter turbo swap into Kick
Post by: chaze1385 on May 22, 2006, 01:37:59 AM: 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.

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.

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....
