You have to change the lower timing wheel. It will mean that the head is carried higher, which will affect the CoG slightly.

There's not much in it, remember the G16 crank is considerably lighter, the head has only a single bank and one cam. Whoever came up with that one has obviously never picked them up and carried them around. My normal starting procedure at Hillclimbs involves revving the engine to 6000 rpm and simply dumping the clutch. Hence the 6500 rpm limit of the 1.6, stick to that and there shouldn't be any problems. (If you want to get technical, the 1.6 crank is a steel casting, the 1.3 is a steel forging). The main thing is that the crank has hollows at the journals, which makes it lighter and not as strong as the 1.3 item. So why are there loads of high mileage Swift 1.6's running around then ? It's true the engine has it's problems ( which won't be gone into here ), but it doesn't tend to eat cambelts and hence the valves, to the extent that the G13 goes. Adding a washer to the pressure relief valve, or a stiffer spring is all it takes ). (Really all you are increasing is the mid to high rev pressure, you won't do a damn thing to the pressure at idle. It's up to you whether you increase it or not. So why are the pressure spec's for the two engines the same then ? Sure, the running pressure for the 1.6 is listed as fractionally lower, but it's marginal. You must increase the oil pressure of the 1.6. If you want to lower the compression, you modify the head, which you really want to do anyway, to reduce the masking round the valves and, make best use of the increased bore. There is no difference between the Vitara/Swift 1.6 gaskets. If you used the 1.3 gasket, the fire rings, (the metal ring that seals the bore), would not seal on the top of the block and the gasket would blow soon after you started it up. Yes, you need to use a 1.6 gasket, not to lower the compression but because the bore of the 1.6 is larger. You need a Vitara gasket to lower the compression. Once you cut through the bull****, it's actually just a bolt on. This isn't anywhere as complicated as people make out. The safest and most effective method of controlling fuel and ignition is to use an aftermarket ECU suitably programmed. In addition, custom cam belt covers will need to be fabricated. The belt must be connected to the GTi's crank pulley (Part No 12631 53B00) while a smaller diameter tensioner (Part No 12810 53B01000) may give more flexibility when choosing the belt. Compression ratio with this head gasket will work out to just over 10:1.Ī cam belt sourced from a belt supplier (such as Gates), is also needed to compensate for the 1600's 30mm taller block. The block should be then equipped with a 1.8mm Vitara head gasket (Part No 1114171C00) to lower the CR to a more manageable level. Stud patterns, bolt sizes and galleries all match perfectly. For returns, all electronics and machines must be new, in a sealed box.Replaces the narrow angle 16 valve SOHC design fitted with throttle-body injection for a 16 valve DOHC equipped with multi-point EFI.įirstly (in case you're thinking of another way), the 1600 engine's crank is slightly too long to fit in the 1300 twin cam block, which is why this head conversion is the only viable option for a big cube Swift.Ī 16 valve 1600 bottom end is the best platform, as it already has valve recesses in each piston.With tag, numbers and tag accents, there are many projects to make with endless personalized possibilities.
