whats the largest motor i can put in a geo metro im just wondering like a nicer 4cyl or sumthin an mess with the suspension cause i deliver an stay in the streets just tryin to get to optimal potention hahaha

 

The Metro was built by Suzuki. With minor exceptions, all 1989 to 2001 Geo/Chevrolet Metros and Suzuki Swifts are the same car. All engines from the 1986 Chevrolet Sprint until 2001 will interchange. Your choice of engines are;

• 1.0L 3 cylinder (55 HP) used in Sprint and Metros from 1986 until 2001
• 1.0L 3 cylinder Turbo (70 HP) used in 1987-1988 US Spint Turbos and 1989 to 1991 Canadian Chevrolet Sprints and Pontiac Fireflys
• 1.3L 4 cylinder (70 HP) used in 1989-2001 SOHC Suzuki Swifts and Geo/Chevrolet Metros
• 1.3L 4 cylinder (100 HP) DOHC used in 1989-1994 Suzuki Swift GTi/GT's

Obviously the best engine would be the 1.3L DOHC engine. These are quick cars because they only weigh 1700 pounds. Aftermarket engine parts are not hard to come by if you don't mind paying the shipping charges from Austrailia. The best transmission is also the GT trans as these have slightly better synchros and a 4.10 final drive. Even with this high reving engine (7000 RPM redline), mileage is still a respectable 35-36 MPG. I still have a Geo Metro convertible in MI that I haven't moved down here, as well as three GT engines. I plan at some point making a hot little car to give some of the Miata guys fits.

This is a picture of my SCCA ITB car I raced from 1996 to 1999.

 

U can put any size motor in it..... jus depends on how much work u wanta do. But I'd go w a srt4 motor or 4g63T if u wanta stay 4cyl

 

LS-1 it.

 

or do a 350 and make it fast. Seriously though, you can put whatever you want into it, stretch the frame and alter everything to accept it, fuck around with the tranny well to stick something bigger in there, etc.

Realisticly without much modification i tihnk the best choices have been listed.

 

imo i think it would be a waste of money and with the money you would spend on it you could get a car with a higher demand of after market parts
