EFI upgrade and turbo for a Geo Metro

[@91CavGT5]

20 years ago there was a LOT of performance mods available for the 1.0L Suzuki 3 cylinder motors. From cams to adjustable timing sprockets to turbo manifolds and more. I had a ‘96 Metro with a 10.0:1 compression setup with a seriously ported head and custom camshaft. Stock would do 74 mph in 3rd gear and 73 mph in 4th gear at full throttle!! After the work was done I chickened out at 96 mph with a 200 pound buddy in the passenger seat!!

[@drthik1]

Wow just got my metro project together and stumbled upon this video, exactly what I'm wanting to do with my car

[@guido1534]

Just checking in to see when your going to upload again. Hopefully soon! The world needs you.

[@starckmad1779]

Looking forward to see this project. My first exposure to Speeduino.

[@guido1534]

Just found your channel and I'm obsessed. Can't wait to see more of that geo and the bike build.

[@greyingsky6023]

Love these cars. I’ve had several. Looking forward to seeing the end product

[@DatBoiOrly]

This is the stuff I like, no bolt on stuff all custom

[@bombshellbikes1559]

Thanks, glad to know my work is appreciated! I get super annoyed when I go to car/bike shows and people be like, "yeah man, is got a custom intake". When what they really mean is they bought a K&N filter and clamped it on the stock intake pipe, 😂

[@DatBoiOrly]

@@bombshellbikes1559 I feel ya buddy, as a viewer it's a lot more entertaining to see how the average joe would go about it and get good bang for your buck rather than buying a high end intake and exhaust and calling it a day theres very little of junkyard scavenging for parts and making stuff that work on a tight budget, keep up the content because I'm loving it!

Subscribed for updates. Nice work man.

[@noanyobiseniss7462]

Just found your channel and your doing some interesting shit so subbed. :)

[@7eis]

Had the Suzuki Swift euro model as my first car. You won't believe how much I want to do something like this. G10 was a shaky beast.

[@chadcarter9581]

Wow! I am just excited to see what happens with this!

[@sircatlord]

91 Geo 2 Door here ( and 90 Geo 4 Door ). Holly Sh**, Batman...... I can't wait to see more. Super interested in the stand-alone ECM part of your build. I've been wanting to make a engine test-stand for the 1.0 but hadn't figure a way for the ignition . Thumbs up and Subscribed buttons already pressed.

[@DeadguyAi]

Looks good bro, good luck 🤙

[@emilianochomnalez637]

Looking forward to watching the next episode

[@InterestingEndeavors]

Dude just keep making videos. I would love to learn the whole arduino speeduino thing.

[@michaelovitch]

Looks like it's going to be interesting to follow.

[@panosgamithis8868]

A CRANE optical sensor will easily fit in the distributor body as a TDC or home sensor.. And you won't have to worry about heat as they are used in the Crane XR700 electronic ignition conversions...

[@braithmiller]

I’ll follow see where it goes. I drive a metro 1.0 daily

[@gallupcustomknives2293]

We should be friends. I have a pair of big turbos I want to put on my v8 gas truck, and a smaller-ish turbo I've fabbed up pieces to fit on my snowmobile, but on the snowmobile I was planning on keeping it carb, because I'm halfway digitally challenged... But I could definitely use the assistance of a guy like you. I've messed with Arduino Uno boards a little bit to build some relatively basic projects for work, and I've done a fair bit of soldering, but when it comes to soldering 100 components onto a large board I am pretty sure I'm out of my depth...

[@gallupcustomknives2293]

I also have a geo metro... mine is a '93, not XFi model, but I have a video of it running with an open downpipe just for grits and shiggles.

[@gregsochor]

Love your work - if you want to make your work a bit more worthwhile, remember that the Suzuki Samurai/Jimny basically uses the same engine just with a 4th cylinder attached and judging by the fact how many people struggle with stock carbs and then fit stuff like Harley CV-carbs onto them, a little bolt-on kit might reward you with a couple of beer tokens for the XS-Project. (Yamaha Turbo TR1 guy myself... just not doing much videos, more blogging.)

[@igorpedretti3924]

Dude, I own an 1994 Suzuki Swift and it's got the same motor, always wanted to turbocharge It but never found any content about It.. Please show us any details of this build!! It's already being such an inspiration, specially because of the intake manifold and the holes to the injectors in the head.

[@miicelltechnosv7395]

Tnks for you video tutorial, I have a Geo Metro Chevrolet 96'.

[@VlEWR]

Will subscribe on the next geo metro video 👍🏽

[@sovereignentity4924]

Awesome knowledge dude...👍 Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@misterbulger]

Geos are the BEST cars for science experiments haha. My Turbo Propane powered 1.0 needs more RPMs... brought me here. It's the MPFI head and I'm wondering if I can directly inject the propane into each cylinder. Been running a forklift mixer drawn thru the turbo but im experimenting with blow thru now. That motor EATS head gaskets because the timing and boost are maxed out on 112 octane in the already high compression head. It barely even registered during the emissions test even with a gutted cat. I had to do this build for the $5K alternative fuel tax credit since I was in the hole pretty bad a few years back when my 87 Chevy Turbo Sprint literally broke down the week before taxes were due. I had a lightbulb moment and had this build done in a couple days. As sketchy as the whole thing is, I daily drove this for 4 years with few issues. The whole forklift tank ratched strapped into the trunk with the fuel line running thru the passenger compartment really got people upset lmao. My first test drive was in nomex and flip flops and I keep the windows cracked so it's pretty legit. Hopefully I'll have the head gasket changed today and then I'll be adding a BBQ grill that sits on the hood so it can be a tailgater rig at car meets. Also I'm looking into how i can shoot flames out of the blow off valve between shifts. Could also make a tailpipe flame thrower pretty easily. Best I can calculate it gets only 16mpg so I'm a regular at ACE hardware where I fill up weekly.

[@jesserasso1042]

Nice can't wait to see how it comes out

[@DgtalBreakz]

Good luck this all these projects! Ill keep an eye on them, hopefully you will post updates :D Im planning on modding a VFR 750 into a light supersport fuel injected beast, so all this stuff is very welcome food for thought :P

[@thebenshenanigans9048]

Please, please, please, turbocharge a Geo Metro!

[@bombshellbikes1559]

It is SOOO happening!

[@richardkaltenbach3961]

Illegal In USA And Especially In California. Law Enforcement, The California Highway Patrol And Late '80s 108 Horsepower Ford Escort GT Drivers Don't Want To Be Embarrassed By A Geo Metro Driver. Hurts Their Pride As A MAN!! Boo! Hoo!

[@joels7605]

This is excellent work. Very impressive. I'm surprised there was provision for port fuel injection cast into the heads.

[@91CavGT5]

In the late 80’s there was a factory 1.0L turbocharged Motor from the factory that had fuel injectors in those boses. The Pontiac Firefly Turbo and a Chevy Sprint Turbo were the cars that it came in.

[@fernandomariduena1875]

excellent project where can I get the fuel rail with its supports on which the injectors are mounted and what measurements or code do they have?

[@Mrjaydecamp]

Did you give it up? Hope you're doing ok, you got my interest with your metro video, until I didn't find any posts for 2 years. Thanks for posting this as it is interesting.

[@guido1534]

Sadly I just realized this last upload was 4 months ago. I hope all is well and you are uploading very soon!

[@kennethfrazee2540]

man I wish we were neighbors lol, drag Geos everywhere. I guess the canadian g10t factory bottom end takes craploads of abuse.

[@richardkaltenbach3961]

Where Is This Place Where Turbo High Performance 140 MPH 300 Horsepower 3 Cylinder Geo Metros At??? WTF? I Wanna Go There And See These Awfully Awsome Kickass Geo Metros Kick Some Ford Escort GT Ass! Certainly Not Los Angeles San Fernando Valley California!!!

[@rafa57s]

That tial style bov has 2 springs inside of it. Both are for different pressure. Take the heavier one out and ull be fine

[@kiyosenl.3889]

I was considering getting a metro for doing doordash up in nyc every once in a while and came across this while looking at making the inside able to sleep a person, and while im interested in the turbo im much more interested in the ultra cheap efi conversion, since modern efi can get you much better mpg id be very interested in trying to convert one to efi myself without a turbo, maybe squeeze some more power and efficiency at once

[@Pushing-Bumpers]

Very interested to see how this goes

[@street2363]

Any updates on this project mate?

[@panosgamithis8868]

You might need a vacume reserve canister , to keep the brake booster in vacume.. it's just a tank with an extra one way brake vacume fitting..

[@bombshellbikes1559]

Good catch, I actually have small one that I picked up at the junkyard. I'm hoping that the booster check valve will be enough, but I'm ready to deal with it if not.

[@panosgamithis8868]

@@bombshellbikes1559 Nice.. 👍🏻👍🏻 I had to install them on BIG CAM motors as the brakes only worked for "1 time" , but with the tank they got 5 or 6 good applications...

[@jasonm.5303]

Fuckin awesome!

[@richardkaltenbach3961]

Even More Fuckin' Awsome When You Embarrass A Late '80s Ford Escort GT Or Jacked Up Diesel Coal Roller Pickup Or Tesla Or Buggati Veyron 16/4 With Your Turbo Geo Metro Pulling Hard To 301 MPH On Stock 12s!!

[@steveguest8028]

Did you ever finish the motorcycle build ?

[@dbc105]

I have a Mustang SVO and I want to remove the VAM and PCM and install something else. I was looking at a MicroSquirt but I'm wanting to see how yours come out because the MicroSquirt is only 2 channel, while that might not be an issue, If you can get 4, why not?

[@smalltown6424]

Let's see the geo? How did it come out

[@zragevii4705]

I'm hoping at some point to build a custom car with a rear-mid mounted g10

[@eflanagan1921]

Look up Chevy Sprint Turbo! I knew that engine had been factory turbocharged !

[@craig7111]

cool!!

[@lalolemusme]

hows the project going??

[@lalolemusme]

i have 96 geo metro, and im looking to upgrade the engine

[@adamjohnson3807]

How did you make that manifold

[@redrhino1911]

Where do you pull oil for the feed from?

[@wizcansin]

the whole crank sensor plate how do i get one.

[@Multi-Skill]

Hi, Matt! We need more videos! And add russian subtitles please

[@jasonwhite1244]

Didn't Suzuki market a 4 cylinder version of the same car...

[@bombshellbikes1559]

Yeah, there was the Suzuki Swift. As far as I can tell they were virtually identical. They made a 3cyl version of the swift as well. And some of the later model Metros had the 4 cyl.

[@andyc8766]

Any updates on this?

[@marklewallen9129]

Did you ever finish it ?

[@lloydrmc]

Stock fuel pump on the 5.0 Mustang was 88 lph. Just sayin'. Bypassing excess fuel adds heat.

[@connorbabcock8197]

Hey! Just to warn you before you buy wheels. These are NOT 4x100. They're 4x114.3 like old datauns

[@bombshellbikes1559]

Thanks for the heads up, I am actually converting to 4x100 and upgrading to much bigger brakes. Hopefully I'll get that video up soon.

[@jamesflake6601]

Only 10% of all geometrials were xfi's. Very rare and unbelievable gas mileage

Can I buy the ecu from you?

[@2ndspingarage]

I have a turbo charged Metro

[@richardkaltenbach3961]

Yeah, I Wish I Was In Canada Too. Don't Bring It To California. The CHP Will Hang You Out To Dry And Without A Second Thought. California Drivers And The California Highway Patrol In Sacramento Cringe At The Thought Of Being Fully Embarassed On The Road By A Turbo Geo Metro Driver! That's A SLAP IN THE FACE And A KICK IN THE BALLS To Them!

[@llspragulus]

Not SIDEQUEST!! "Side Piece" is much more fitting.

[@johnle231]

Where’s the xfi engine

[@richardkaltenbach3961]

X-Fi Engine, 49 Horsepower!

[@misterbulger]

Who even needs injectors when you have a V8 propane forklift mixer and evaporator? My injectors just plug the holes in the head. Completely unplugged.

[@hankm2011]

And never did anything dang
