I also think that in time the 2ltr swap could become as popular as a 1.6 into a Sammy. It just needs a few people to do it first to show that it is practicable.

give me time, i'm still searching...

Me too, I'm working on it

I think to clear up my initial question i was talking about up hill power more then anything. On flat roads I can get it up to 120 KM/Hr without any probs.. but (for those who like in around the rockies) you know when your loaded down with gear and punch it up a 15 deg Hill.. that 120Km in 5th goes to 70-80Km in 3rd pretty quick.

Then when your waiting on the trails and again it's 15 deg-20 deg climb, I don't want to rev it up to 3000 rpm and dropping the clutch to get it "crawlling" up the hill

the numbers are a bit exagerated.. but you all understand my point...

So you're looking for more mid range torque, pulling power so to speak.

My lastest project was going to be a super charger from a mini cooper.
Im seeling it on ebay at the moment i have decided to put it on hold . http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7976626953&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1



Main reason for not doing it yet is cost,  
second reason I have found some better super chargers that already have the webber adapter as this BMW type would take a lot of work to adapt it to my kick/vitara.
third , the amount of mud and water may end up killing it anyway.

so i have just fitted the rest of my Jan SPeed exhaust and I will get a new Cam,
33s and stock gearing is fine but i like to tow my caravan to show so after some more BHP

hey markyb, do you have pics and a name of the supercharger with the weber adapter?

i've seen some on sammys in the states, and i know that i will never have the chance to get one let alone have it fitted on my vit.

i find this very interesting, as the s/c has the weber on one side, and the air fuel mixture goes through it then into the engine. a draw through system, like turbo on a carby motor.

Ya, I know about them, but what fun is it to
buy a bolt on kit

I couldn't find the kit for a zuk on there anyway,,,they might have dropped it all together,,,,,,,AGAIN

as much as i hate to admit it i think im going to try a VW motor . ive had a 1.8 GTI motor for a few years in the corner i was saveing for a sammy but i think im gona start collecting parts for the conversion. vw's make really good power and have a lot of aftermarket support . ive seen a 1.8 16v normally aspereated make almost 200hp.  
a 1.8 8v should pull a tracker around pretty well. if not a 16v or a 20v would defenetly do the job .

How about a bolt in Turbo Diesel
They are here now, interested
I can hook you up

Wild

shipping to the US would be as much as the charger,

I will do the conversation at some stage, Maybe next year after im married as the Mrs keeps taking all the money for that at present,

I saw an early mini super charger that used the smaller webber carb and like you say a draw through system.  

I suppose a bolt on system is nice but more fun blowing thing up if i had the spare money,

If i can pick up another tracker cheap i might make it up on there and test it. might keep dreaming for now,

i have a VW 1.8? TD at my shop but just don't want the extra weigh :-/  i am thinking about a cheap sammy mabey but it would be super cool to have a boosted diesel in anything.

stu

the VW TD is not that heavy have you checked the weight difference? They are either 1.6 or 1.9L depending on the year.
