My car is a 99 Swift and I want a turbokit and a body kit for the little beast. I cant find anything searching around on the net. Just wondering if anyone has any Idea where to find either one of these things.

Try your local junk yard. I am sure you could find an old asian vehicle with a turbo in it. Yank all the parts, and um bolt it on there. I have seen things of this nature done with sucess. Keep in mind, no matter the kit you install, your engine will not last for very long and I bet that 35mpg mileage will drop dramatically! The engine will not tolerate the compression increase for long, but it sure will be fun.

A body kit? Get creative. Sheet metal can be fun. Or practice your fiber glass skillz posted_image

Ebay didn't even have anything. I think you are probably gonna be on your own for this one. Everything custom.
Which engine do you have, sohc or dohc?

shhh Auex, all the hard questions. I cant remeber and its to cold to go check. I have only had the car for a month now but being that its only a 3 cylinder 1.3 I am guessing its only avalible in a single over head cam model. And as for the motor not lasting long, I am only looking at 3 pounds- 5 pounds of boost, nothing retarded. I figure that if I do a rebuild at the same time it should be fine.
