Rebuilding 1.6 16v what hp upgrades
« on: March 28, 2011, 08:20:20 PM »
I have a 96 Geo Tracker. I bought a 95 Suzuki Sidekick for the motor but iam going to rebuild it because it has 194000 miles on it. I was wondering what horsepower upgrades? I was thinking torque cam and bore .020 over. Maybe header.

When I rebuilt mine I went .030 over, shaved head, and decked block. I tried Hawks cam but we either got a bad grind, or it is too tall. It ended up breaking all the adjusting screws for the lifters twice. They were really good about it and wanted to try out a different cam, but I just wanted to get my car on the road.

I can feel the difference from a stock 16v. It's very snappy and loves to rev, but like any Suzuki 4 cyl it's all top end. I ended up spending about $1800.00 when all was said and done. You could save about $800.00 doing it yourself.

You might try port matching the hear and cleaning up the
ports so they flow better, also fix the lip under the valve seats
to prevent turbulence
