i have a russian friend and he is trying to hook up his metro.. he wants to kno what kind of motor would fit into a lil ass car like his...if anyone knows anything about this .please share your thoughts

 

Something out of a motorcycle..

 

it all depends on how much money he wants to spend.

 

hayabusa motor!! omg, so pimp.

 

you can really put a motorcycle engine in a geo..aint never heard of that but would be a good idea i guess if it works!!!!!

 

put a 454 in that bitch

 

Adapting the output drive is the biggest logistical problem. You could make it chain drive though and drive a chainring on the diff housing.. You could also make a spline drive adapter to couple where the output sprocket goes. Not too big of a deal, just takes some inginuity. Metros with motorcycle engines have been done before though..

 

A common swap for the metro is the DOHC 1.3 from a Suzuki Swift GTi. A better build would be the 1.6 block with the 1.3 dual cam head. You can also source a turbo 3 cylinder from a firefly, IIRC.

Check out teamswift.net or redlinegt for info on these cars.

 

2jz or ls1!!!!

 

I have seen a couple with b16s in them, this was years ago..... there was actually one driving around newport news area.
