I'm actually looking to get a swift... looking at a 98 and wanting to spend around $3000 or so. From what I researched, 98+ have a 1.3L 4cyl SOHC 16v instead of 8v, and push about 80hp stock.

Didn't the 16v SOHC head flow as good as the DOHC head?

the new swifts are CRAP...the ones you want are 89-91.5 GTi...or 91.5-94 GT
the GTi weighted a bit less, the GT is more practical..

the GTi got tossed due to copyright infringements, since VW's Rabbit was a GTi at least 5 years prior....

the Swift GT/GTi was on some list for most liter/hp pocket rocket...within the top 15 i think..

GTi was 89 only.
GT was from 90-94 (north america)

others were available overseas (ie. aus)...

1.3 DOHC to 1.6 DOHC Conversion

i recently just bought a firefly, its got a 1.0L 3 cyl engine in it, turbo tranny to, its pretty quick 4 wat it is, iv always wanted to get a 1.3L dohc 16v crate motor and drop that in, only thing is that those motor can get as high as $15,000, im still looking for a stock gti doner car and imma just swap everything over to the fly, or maybe ill just sell and swap a 3400 into my cavalier insted.

haha, cool post.

i have my girlfriends 1994 glx, my 1989 turbo firefly, my 1994 gt (parts car and it is also being parted out, everything almost gone tho) , and my 1991 sedan.

i parted out my mint 94 gt cause i had it for sale in many places and no one wanted it, i sold the tranny, 4 wheel disc setup, seats, and someother stuff. i am keeping the motor and swapping it into my 91 sedan, gonna keep it auto to for know.


i have parts galore tho if you need any.
