F6A or K6A

Guys, I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me out.

I'm not having much joy tracking down a F6A or K6A 660cc turbo 3 cyl and matching JDM Sierra/Jimny trans to go in my 1.0 Suzuki Sierra so if anybody knows of one that might be available or hears of one in their travels please let me know. Ideally I'd like a K6A front cut but I'll happily look at the F6A/F6B too. I will look at engines or trans on their own too and would even consider a K10A turbo if I could find one without selling a kidney.

Thanks,

CJ

CJ, can I ask why you'd want to chase down a motor with very little torque for an off-road vehicle? Seems odd when the 1.3/1.6 swaps are so common, cheap and easy.

In my particular vehicle it is basically a bolt-in proposition whereas the 1.3 & 1.6 require a number chassis/engine mount mods etc. unlike the later models. Also gearing for the 660 actually allows it to work pretty well espcially in concert with some exhaust and boost mods. IMHO it is better than a 1.3 or a carby 1.6 and not that far off the efi 1.6.

Fair call, I was curious if the install was any easier.

you can buy a ready to go ecu from www.adaptronic.com.au

just a matter of wiring it up and starting it. and downloading ecu files off the website that were created off my mightyboy
