Will this bolt up to a suzuki RWD transmision?

Saw a Suzuki jeep today at the wreckers. The engine was missing but the 5-speed was still in it.

Then I saw this 2003 2.0 liter Suzuki engine (145 HP) in an Aerio (Liana):



Front air inlet. Dizzy on back of head is the most obvious issue.

Front sump.

could work. there is no dizzy on that motor as it is coil on plug igniton. Should be adaptable to aftermarket EFI.

Rear angle drive dizzy can be had from grand vitara 2 litre or as you know megajolt jnr upgrade.

rwd G/box can be had from a grand vit 2wd if avail in USA.

This engine is also found here as a 2.4 L and are great
motors in that they are found without vtec and in/ex are
on the correct sides with compact lightweight design overall.

My preference is the M18a using samurai or sidekick 2wd trans.

All suzi engine are superlight and most have RWD trans avail.
The beauty of them is theyre not complicated like modern
2L donks.

da71cp, you are correct. This engine has coil-on-plug. There was something missing on the back of the head, maybe it was the cam angle sensor.

just so you know the 1.6 rwd vitara right angle dizzie can be used as this one has done with the 1.6 fwd dizzie for the baleno.

The cam position sensor fits on the back of the head much like a distributor. From the information I found it would protrude off the back about 2 1/2 inches and would probably not be an issue. Worst case scenario, a small bump could be fabricated into the firewall to clear it, much like SMURF did on his EVO8 powered 1200.

Additionally, with a Haltech ECU or similar, you could batch fire the coils and elimitate it if it gets in the way.

These days Megajolt jnr solves ignition issues for about the same price as a new distributor with full windows 95 onwards interface and full programmability settings with more than one ignition curve available for different fuels.

All suzuki engines unlike other makes have front provisions for water inlet and outlets due to intelligently designing them to run on fwd and rwd in all configurations.

Vtec and non vtec heads are available for all of them and the 3 main models to choose from al with rwd boxes available

G series = 1.0,1.3,1.5,1.6 (weight 55kg note: bare rockers to sump)
M series = 1.3,1.5,1.6,1.8 & sleeved to 2L (weight 70kg)
This model has removable sleeves on all capacities & same block
J series= 1.8,2.0,2.3 and 2.4 (weight 77kg)

The J24 weighs the same as an A15 eg. 2.4 versus 1.5
