660 to 993 engine upgrade

Hey guys I have been working my hyjet pretty good hauling lots of stuff and often wonder would swapping a 993 in make much of a difference. I find on big hills the truck slows to 80kph but on the flat I can buzz along at 100 kph but seldom do. I like to keep it around 90. I have had it up to 110 once but was worried I was reving the engine a tad bit much. What is the actual red line on a 660 and a 993?

Think the general concensus would be its not worth it or I stand to be corrected not feasable. You'd be better off selling the current one and getting a 1.3 plus you would have the problem of getting a good 993 engine to put in anyway.

Oh I should add I am in Canada and options are slim. Does the 1.3 rev up like the 660?

Hmmm not a clue on that one! HighlyJetted may have some idea on that one. Whats the availability for 993 and 1.3 hijets in Canada?

Hens teeth. I imported mine from Japan. They never sold them here.

Ah! That could be your main problem then!

The charade and rocky where sold in the late 80 to 92

Because we boarder merica in all its greatness everything we get is American size. Vw was one the only manufactured selling diesel cars here unless you had the quid for a merc. We dont get the model options like the rest of the world.

if it can be done i also think its not worth the money and you could better sell it and buy something with some more hp.
there is an other forum that has more of your type of hijet.
and is based in north america.
i think they will have more answers for you..

What can I bomb down quad trails in a cab with ac and tunes. Then pull onto public streets and drive legally. I own 56 acers of land i also use it on. It has a dump box that I can haul say a deer out of the back woods in or pop to the local lawn and garden center am take home a yard or 2 of soil. Oh and I am on mini truck talk also.

So you only have a small back yard then! Got to have pictures of the hijet and its backyard!

i dont know...im from the netherlands..i dont know the north american market..
if you are already a member there and didnt get the info
chances are verry small you will get them here
i cant help you ,maybe somebody else will give you the right answers

i asked here vs minitruck talk because most of what we have here is imported from japan and only have the 660, you guys across the pond got the 993 and the 1.3

i think there are a lott of questions regarding an engineswap
-will it fit your gearbox?
-enginemounts are probably different
-how will you get parts if something brakes down?
-the 1.3 does suffer a lott from overheating, it would suck if you go tru all the effort and then have an overheating engine
-the 993 is difficult to get parts i think

if you imported it from japan could it be an option to look for a same type or something near the same
buildyear that has a turbo.
and import that engine..

i think you can probably forget an easy swap with an 993 or 1.3 ..

Tell me more about which hijet you have?

What is the model code on the vin number plate?

What engine code is yours?

95 s110p and i am pretty sure it has a EF-NS i can get the info in a bit

the ef series has got a lott of different options..including turbo

Is there actual anyone who turbo charged his hijet?

there are loads of standard tubo versions straight from the factory patrick

Ah of course, the Japanese versions (kei cars) with the 660cc engines. Was thinking to much European
But are there also 1.0EFI and 1.3EFI hijets with turbo?

The biggest ? Was if the bell housing on all 3 engines was the same. I know some other manufactures design this way for makes it cheaper for tooling cost and setup

no, maybe some custom jobs but not standard from the factory.

i dont know ttc, you should investigate that
i know a lott daihatsus are interchangeable with parts so there is a chance it could work.

The 1300, 993cc and Diesel bellhousings are all different.

Hmm so leaves me to wonder if the 660 and 993 might be the same. Guess I may have to ask more on a forum from down under they get a lot of Japanese stuff and imports

660 and 993 are compatible I think.

Never tried, but they should share the same bell housing.

993 would be better than the engine you've got, but they aren't the greatest of units!
