Looking good. What made you go carbs over the throttle bodies? You must be like sixteen feet tall for the seat to be back that far and o be able to reach the pedals. |

A friend of mine has a modified Swift GTI in a Nota? Clubman sports car. He runs twin Webers, says it's good for up to 175HP. Better than std MPI. |

Hell yes, Swiftmini - everyone over here talks starlet motors - a swift based mini would be a breath of fresh air. I look forward to seeing more of your progress - I myself have chosen the g13B motor for packaging reasons - no rads in the boot, and must have a/c!!! |

I look forward to seeing more of your progress - I myself have chosen the g13B motor for packaging reasons - no rads in the boot, and must have a/c!!! There are actually twice the amount of g13b conversion here then 4efte, just that the suzuki guys dont get on here much to help other guys doing conversions, there abit secretive about there frames, where as us 4efte guys help each other out. Rads in the boot is not needed all the time, mine is front mounted, but for big power it is a good idea for more room for turbos, intercoolers etc. swiftmini love your mini build and would love to see more of it. There is a guy over here running quad throttle bodies from a hyubusa on his g13b, have been told its minimum mods to make work too. |

Thanks for the pics Swiftmini, you have shown me pretty well how an a/c compressor can bolt next the oil filter on the original mounts, and how the alternator mount works. I'll be using a flip front clubby, so will have extra room in the front for a/c condensor etc. Now to find room for that supercharger... Brad, wasn't trying to bag the starlet people, you especially have done a fantastic job with your car. I guess I am partial to the g13b as I also own a swift GTI, so have done a lot of research on what can and can't be done with this motor. You are right though, the swift motor conversions are a secretive lot... |
