If you're importing from China then make sure you're getting an F8B with front wheel drive gearbox. I've looked into importing and there are a lot of inaccurate adverts floating around, and the language barrier makes it difficult to clear up any confusion.

Keep us posted on how you go. :thumbup1:

Looks good, and impressive that they've managed to cram 5 speed gearbox internals into a 4 speed casing.
It's hard to tell from the pics but you might run into clearance issues with the rear engine steady bracket. Looks like it could foul on the inlet manifold behind the thermostat. I could be wrong though.

I'm interested to know the final price with shipping.
Good luck with the ordering process, I hope everything goes smoothly! :)

Do you have more specifications about the engine? And did it work out? Looks interesting.

The OEM Suzuki F6A exhaust manifold is really poorly designed and prone to cracking. Can't imagine a Chinese knock-off would be any better.
Why not buy the standard EFI F8B they're offering and get a turbo manifold made locally? John Verban sells 10mm flange plates cheap.

That's an impressive looking bit of kit. I'm really surprised to see it has a COP setup and distributorless CAS. That would make sequential injection a breeze to set up.
The only issue I can see is that the manifold sits quite high and a long way from the head. Great for torque, but could cause some clearance issues against the firewall/bulkhead. Also the throttle body is not ideally placed for a turbo setup.

Nice, when do you think you will get it all up and running? This is exactly what I'm thinking of doing and would love to pick your brain

i think what i will do is bring in the the complete motor with gear box USD $950 , and then they have offered me either a k6a or a k10 turbo kit For $190.
i think as Brayden said it may be to high to fit in and if i get them to build it they dont know what is needed.
i will fit motor see how it runs then pick Braydens brains on how to set up the rest. so hopefully i will have motor here before new year.
would love to see Braydens photos of his set up (hint, hint)
