hi everyone! does it worth it to swap 1.3 to 1.6 8v, (carb set up)will it have noticable power? or not enough to really bother with it? can i have feedback of people who did the swap thanks

I have only ridden in Samis with the 1,6L and there is a night to day difference in the two. If I purchased a Sami, that would probably be one of my first mods.

depends on what your rig is going to end with. I ran two sammys with 31's over the years and 1.3 was just fine, I also daily drove it 100 miles round trip. I added 4.62 diff gears, and a weber, KN-airfilter system. I on 31x10.5's could pull 75-80 on hills, wind, highway no problem.
So it all depends on what your going to do to your rig, no gears? then a 1.6

it's the difference of black and white, night and day, hamburger and steak, California and oregon, Corona and Coors, Coke and Pepsi, Suzuki and Jeep.............. well, you get the point!! ;D

Two samis with 1.3l and thrashed the shit out of them and NEVER had single problem.
One sidekick with 1.6l and rebuilt engine when I bought it due to burnt exhaust valves, hydrolocked that one and broke no.4 rod. Bought a tracker and put that used engine in and drove till it lost oil pressure. Built it and it lasted like six months before losing oil pressure again. (junk head I think) Drove to breezewood pa. and bought an engine for $450 that also turned out to have burnt exhaust valves so put some in it and know it turns out that it burns about a quart of oil every 250 miles. I would never put a 1.6 in a sami, I would actually like to put a 1.3 in my sidekick with a carb and take the wingnuts off my motor mounts.
This may be just bad luck on my part but I have owned over twenty cars in my 32 years on this planet and have lost one engine in another vehicle and it was an 89 Isuzu p-up. I have no faith in the 1.6l suzuki engine....

I have had exceptional luck with the 1.6 in my 89 Sidekick. I have never owned a 1.3 but as I understand it they are essentially the same engine the 1.6 just has a longer stroke. Actually the bore is .04 larger.
I personally have not heard of oil pumps failing on these engines I would be interested in know if this is something which happens around a certain mileage or what. Dave
