The green machine - '94 Geo Metro

multi throttle body geo 1.0 liter

So I need a few more hp.

When I hook up to a towing load of say another geo metro I can barley pull it. Not up really steep hills at all. Stop with the dumb ass dont tow with your geo.
I have installed the 4 cyl fly wheel on the 3 cyl and bumped the compression up. I dont really want to do a 4 cyl conversion and or a turbo. So I was thinking of a weber 32/36 or just adding one or two more throttle bodies to a custom intake and tie the linkage together. Use the sensors on just one TBI. Probbaly a balance tube (vacuum) of some type to help the MAP out if its a issue.

I'm wondering if there will be a issue of the ecm trigger for the injector failing from driving the one or two extra injectors. I read some where that some one used a external injector trigger on hondas to trigger different injectors in one of the engine swaps but cant find the artical now.

I know a carb would be easy but injection would look cool and probably be more effiecent? Plus it would be cheaper to go with tbi's for me.

Any ideas? I need to get the flanges cut for the carb or TBI's and the manifold to base gasket asap so I can get towing again.

I buy sell geo's on the side and its nice to be able to get the good gasmileage going to pick them up and hauling them back but I have gotten in situations with steep hills latley.

Plus I am building a geo metro into a small rv trailer to tow camping kinda like a tear drop but a whole GEO metro and it tows like a 5 wheel. Got the idea watching this you tube video. I'm not planning on going far just staying in north america mostly unless I can make it all float.

Also I was thinking of taking a TBI off a bigger engine like 4.3 chevy or v-8 chevy and adapting that?
