Will this fit

[SuzukiTurbz]

i got my hands on an F8B Gearbox
would this fit to my F5A.
if so will it stop my engine from screaming soo much?
is it much betetr then the F5A Gearbox?
Cheers.

Yes it will fit, clutch should be the same, the throwout bearing (one on the input shaft) is different. But it will bolt up.

May aswell get a f8b engine.

ive been trying to find 1 a suki wreker down my area priced me $1350 fr a reconditioned F8B but i dnt have that cash atm cause im gettin ym window tint done this weekend, alon with ym tacho gauges installed.
gettin my 14" tempe tyre package next week then got all ym suspension shit soo much money! lol

[Billie]

Hey mate dont want to sound rude but i'd go with the engine before the other stuff. $1350 for a reco f8b is a pretty sweet deal.

[Dave]

Or get a 2nd hand one and a rebuild kit and DIY?

[SuzukiTurbz]

hmmm.. he said he would keep it in for me for a while...
i want all my suspension and looks out the way first just the way i am
then im guessin around 2 months time ill buy the reco motor and chuck it in with ma gearbox.
any mods u can do to a NA F8B to make it any better?
already got exhaust system and cannon.
Carby air filter
Oil Filter
im thinkin of gettin it bored & polished.
but anythign else?

[Dave]

Turbo + EFI if your pockets are deep enough.

i found an EFI 800cc stock f8b and gearbox on a website from japan?
its a DOHC model
u rekon if i got that imported here it would work in?

[Dave]

A stock EFI DOHC F8B? Didn't know there was such a thing. Could be an F8C or something? For the price you'd pay to import it and get it installed etc, you would most likely be better off just getting an F8B and doint the EFI and turbo conversion later on down the track if you wanted it. Or you could consider sticking with the F5A for a bit while you save your coin for something like a G10A of F6A conversion or something similar.

What I'm trying to say is, from what I've read, chasing decent power from an F8B isn't exactly cheap.

[Billie]

Wouldnt be a f8b, theres a f5a dohc and they didnt have f8b's in japan. Could also be a f6a.

[SuzukiTurbz]

well ive decided im buyign that f8b in a few weeks.
before i do my rims and stuff.
ill most probaly get the ports bored & polished then chuck her in.
rough price on a carby AMR300 setup?
and parts needed?

There's a company in Adelaide that sells the AMR300's. Can't remember what it's called though, but IIRC they go for $300 or something like that I think.

Obviously you'd need the supercharger, custom manifold, belt, brackets etc. There's a thread on it around here somewhere.

EDIT: - Here's the thread's on it. You'd probably find a bit more info if you did a search too.
