The point is that there are many, many better ways of getting 127Kw in a sierra (if that's what one needs) and many better ways of getting a 4 speed auto in a sierra (if that's what one needs)
Steve.
correct me if im wrong but i once read that a standard 1.3 on 31s with 6.5s produces close to 500hp in Low 1st... just what i read
Gearing increases Torque, not power. You'd have over 1000Nm of torque at the axles with the 6.5's and a 1300 at the right rpm, and probably about 5kw of power
Wheeling on completely wicked angles, without even looking stable.

Sorry have to disagree - thrashed rotaries are all of the above but what's unique about that ?
Just because you can rev them to a zillion RPM doesn't mean that you should - kept within reasonable limits they work well.
IMO they are not overly heavy - especially considering their power output, but a significant factor is their compact shape which makes for a low COG - something that does make a big difference.
However the age of the earlier engines does mean that cheap parts are no longer easy to get - so i'd think twice now unless i was prepared to outlay a substantial amount for a newer engine.
Still like this whole thread - each to their own......
( usual disclaimers )
It seemed like a much better idea when I started it than it does now.
it was to show that the commodore v6 is not that bad a motor as this thing has a 4.3lt buick motor in it from memory
I am not a fan of big heavy motors in Zuks ... just because someone put a bigger motor in one doe not make the slightly smaller one right ..
I had a acquaintance who put a 454 in a 120y ... went nowhere in 1st 2nd or 3rd .. but when it hooked up .. it went like the proverbial poo off a shovel. (if you could keep it in a strait line) That didint make his next "project" of installing a 350 any better, after he wrote the 454 powered one off 3 days after building it.

Missed all the controversy that caused the thread to get cleaned...
I paid 1200 for a whole (very rough) car that had been 660 converted, and had everything I needed to do the conversion nicely except the vitara fuel tank.
Cappuccino 1/2 cuts are the dearest at about $2K, but have an unhelpful gearbox. Nice motor though.
The biggest problem with the 660 is only how hard they are to find.

And all the gearing you need to make em work properly ..
the "Sneeze" factor still makes em cool though ...
I just cant believe after all this time Steve .. you are copying Gregs hairdressers friends roomates freind ...

660 is a three cylinder turbocharged and intercooled motor (660cc funnily enough) that suzuki fitted to their Kei type cars like the capaccino. There are a few different versions. Google will bring up a sh*t load of pics and info.
Sneeze factor is just the turbo, either from a atmospheric vented blow off valve, or the flutter effect from the air filter. Get a few cap engined zooks together and it sounds like sunday arvo sitting at the foreshore in newy
