No posts?
So there's no posts for Sidekicks? Let mine be the first then! Has anyone found any turbo kits, or decent engine swaps for these vehicles? I've found exhausts, filters, and low-end cams. Nothing that'll let me take on those damn Civics down on the drag strip tho! I'm sick of those guys! Any help that any of you can provide would be great! Thanks!

Has a supercharger for the 89-93 1.6L 8v it's $2000.00 It's not on there website but it is in the catalog I have. Give them a call if you need more info though. Sorry thats all I know. Or if your really into dragracing and don't want to lose to the Civic's. Give them a tast of there own medicine. Do what I was thinking of doing oneday. Get a Honda S2000 motor(245hp/153tq) and smoke just about everything. Just be carefull in the turns you know.

I think they are going to start making new or better parts to replace the older ones. I called them to ask about ordering a brushguard and they said they are in the process of restyling them.
Do you need anything? I got the catalog if you need part #'s

There's not much made for the Sidekick that I own. I have the 1.6L 16v engine. They make plenty of stuff for the older Samurais and the older 8v engines, but only a header and exhaust for mine. Through some research though, I found out that in Japan, these vehicles came with the optional v6 engine. I've been everywhere looking for one of these j-spec engines- nobody has one. I suppose I can use something like a 231 Buick v6, but would it really be worth it? I get my new Flowmaster exhaust tomorrow, we'll see what kinda power increases I get. Thanks for all your replies- it's greatly appreciated. I'll see if I can post a picture of my truck for you guys, so incase you're curious.
