G16a g16B swap

HI
Without ever seeing a G16B in a vitara and having no idea the setup I ask this?

I don't want to swap to an EFI setup just replace the 8 valve with the 16 valve. For more grunt.

Hi

There is also a Diesel motor from hi-ace vans that looks like a K series if you want to convert to diesel.
Capacity about 1.5 or 1.7. Motor is leaned over like the K series and looks externally similar in size.
I think they had a model designation of Y. eg 2Y-C
