Ok, as some fellas here know i have a swift with a g10 engine and i recently did alot of work body wise and well it wasn't done to my standard so i'm planning on carrying the car back into the garage for a facelift..
other than repainting i'm planning on rebuilding my gas saver of an engine just for fun, many people say do a conversion put in a starlet, or a b-14...I'm considering that but first car syndrome nah and my lil lightweight engine gives me 58mpg and I got accustom working on it.
So with that aside i did a lil research, found out the same block used on the naturally aspirated version is the same block used on the turbo g10-T. So it had me wondering on if i should try forced induction.
I need a little advice from someone who did a n/a conversion to turbo or someone who worked on a g13b engine because i was thinking of using oversized g13b pistons since the bore size of that and the g10 is the same 74mm but what i was studying is if the connecting rod would line up.
other than the "to turbo or not to turbo" issue the rest of stuff is not a problem.. i have access to everything else needed for the rebuild except the low compression g10 pistons, right now i'm saving towards this lil plan..
so anyone who has advice on the n/a to turbo and what i might need feel free to give me a shout..
i aint looking for much boost and also i might need a gearbox even if it not 100% i'll rebuild that too..
