Thanks if you answer these annoying questions.

More info please...
Is this for a Sierra or a Vitara?

Hey mate, if your doing a 1.6l g16 engin into a sierra then im doing same thing at the mom. this is sorta half an answer but gives a litle info. quoted yesterday, JUST for G16B (fuel inj) engin recon $2300. no computer, loom, bell housing/ converter plate or altenator. This quote was b4 they knew i wanted to do a siera engin conv. so was on the assumption they were removing out of vitara then installing there reconed engine back in. there now looking for a computer, loom and all the other stuff for me b4 they do another quote.
not to hijack but does any one know where i can get a loom n computer for the G16B? PM me.

hope it helped mate.

I paid $500 for my 1.6 with a 1.3 gearbox bolted to it!
just needed leads and a new throwout bearing and sparkplugs.
took me 4 hours to swap the motors.
$4000.
EFI with a turbo and stainless exhaust, with chip work, and possibly port the head.
Then i might think of $4000
not a carby swap over.
should be $1500 to $1800 for basic short rebuilt 1.6 motor.
$75 for mod plate.
$250 new clutch.
$200 new oil and other necessities
My 2c
or if you lived in brisbane you could have it all done by someone else for $2500 to $3000

Nah i didnt. Will PM ya for the details.

can you do any of the work? if so save some $$. its easy

i am guessin this is from suzukishop or suziwest?

I just put a g16a in a sierra. I paid $700 for a second hand carbi motor. The wreckers want about $1400 for the same, or $2000 for a g16b injected. New Daikin clutch kit was $148 from cheapa auto spares, oil n filter for $15, few different bolts and half a days work. Should b easy under $1000 if u do it urself. Hope this helps

yeah, their is no way i would pay that price. i got the quote from ELGEE road in MIDLAND.. i think suzi store. The shop look well oraganised and had alot of parts. But the price is too much.

Thanks fellas

If they think you are serious about getting them to do the job and show some kind of commitment, they should give you a better price, as they would get 10 customers a day asking how much this or that may cost, so they would just quote off the top of theyre heads without thinking too much about it, as 99% of ppl asking arent serious.

thats about the going rate over here for the conversion sadly.

but if you are only going a carb 1.6 not a mpfi one. then it'l only take a day to do yourself in your driveway with minimal tools.

hire a hoist and stand and go for it. i may be able to give a hand if needed.

btw buy bents apadter kits also. easy to use.
