Suzuki X-90 1997

Car Suggestion: Suzuki X-90 "Factory Prototype / Dune Spec" (1997)

Hello everyone, I’d like to officially request the addition of the Suzuki X-90 to Gran Turismo 7, but specifically based on a highly unique, documented factory anomaly variant that I own in real life. While standard online specs state the X-90 only carried a basic 95hp 1.6L engine, my vehicle came factory-built from Suzuki with pre-production racing and heavy-duty modifications that completely rewrite the standard retail specs:

• The Block & Crank: Built on a modified lower-end 1.8L block for larger coolant passages (using the larger 1.8L Sidekick thermostat), but paired with a 1.6L crankshaft and a custom prototyped factory camshaft for enhanced power delivery.
• Exhaust & Fuel System: Features a factory-custom 4-into-1 exhaust header tapering out to a large 2" pipe. The fueling is handled by a stock-equipped high-pressure Porsche Racing fuel pump and a matching high-pressure fuel regulator.
• Chassis & Frame: Reinforced to handle intense twisting. The frame utilizes a completely enclosed rectangular beam layout (no open C-channel or I-beam construction) bound together by five (5) rigid cross members.
• Drivetrain & Weight Distribution: Equipped with factory automatic locking hubs and balanced perfectly across all four tires to account for a driver weight profile of 175–200 lbs.

This specific factory spec was a legendary sand-slayer, effortlessly cutting through 2 feet of dry, ashy sand at the KI Sawyer base and Marquette, Michigan dunes where full-sized trucks regularly got stuck.
Gran Turismo is known for preserving automotive history and oddities. Adding this specific, aggressively spec'd version of the X-90 would bring a legendary, lightweight 90s 4x4 pocket-rocket into the game’s tuning ecosystem

And can you provide any of that documentation? Some images would also help.

I'd also be interested to see documentation that a 1.8-litre block exists for an engine family that was never offered any larger than 1.6 litres.

It's hot asf out today I can maybe get some photos with a caliper measuring the exhaust manifold uploaded today, idk about measuring the coolant passageway though today...

I bought 3 thermostats for the thing, and the CORRECT one was for the 1.8 sidekick...all the 1.6l thermostats were DRASTICALLY SMALLER than the port

I can see what I can do for images of part numbers..

Alot going on in my life right now with custody and homesteading
