Suzuki Ignis Engine in a Sammi

[Anton]

Diesel engine - run it on home made biodiesel that's what mine will be on - 25p a litre

I would *love* to fit a diesel engine, but 99% of them are just too heavy for a zuk. Everyone I've spoken to who's fitted one to a Zuk has said the extra weight has ruined them offroad.

The 1.3 I have is about 85kg. The only diesel engines I'd consider are the 1.4 D-4D out of a Toyota (140lb/ft, 99kg with turbo etc) or the 1.2 TDI 3 cylinder out of a Skoda/VW (120ft/lb, 75kg with turbo etc).

The pug XUD19 engine and the VW 1.6/1.9 engines most people use weigh in at well over 200kg.

On the long haul down to Wagtail and back, I averaged 40 to the gallon, but that was cruising at 50 in 4th gear for over a hundred miles.

Got the i30 for economy, shopping and family trips. Got Suzukis for fun!

Ditto. Got the Yaris TD for being sensible, the SJ is my toy.

Welcome to the club, Major.

Probably worth starting your own thread regarding your build, I'm certain that we're all interested in helping any way we can!
