Hey guys. Quick intro. I'm Devster. I'm a senior in high school, and I have 2 cars. A 1986 Porsche 944 and a 1995 geo metro sedan w/ the 1.3l 5spd.
I love the geo but its a bit underpowered compared to my summer car. How diffiicult would it be to put in a 1.3 dohc "g13b?" from a swift gt(i) into my geo? Would it be fairly easy, and would I ave to replace the tranny to or could the current one handle it? How much would the motor and the swap cost? Could you guys also direct me to a source where I could pick up a motor? I'd even think about Canada.
What kind of turbo setups could I do? How reliable would they be, and what kind of power would they make? Also how much would the turbo setup cost and do you have any sources?
Sorry, if i'm a bit of a newbie. I'll try to learn as I go along, and hopefully that was understandable.
