@ stupiddoc:
The J18A can easily be fitted to the Japanese Swift Sedan without much modification. It wont be, however, a direct bolt-on fit. Custom mounts will have to be fabricated, along with possible mods to the radiator. Another primary aspect to look into would be the hydraulic clutch which comes standard with the J18A transmission. This would mean that you would need to punch a hole about 2" by 2" in your firewall next to the brake booster to allow a clutch cylinder to fit. The only other difference would be with the shifter assembly, since your engine somes with shifter rods, and the J18A came with shifter cables.
Your current Swift engine is the
G10A:
- Fuel system: Carburetor
- Engine type: 3 cylinder, SOHC, 6-valve
- Displacement: 993cc
- Maximum power: 50ps @ 5100 rpm
- Maximum torque: 77nm @ 3200 rpm
- Compression ratio: 9.5
- Bore: 74mm
- Stroke: 77mm
J18A:
- Fuel system: EFI
- Engine type: 4 cylinder, DOHC, 16-valve
- Displacement: 1840cc
- Maximum power: 135ps @ 6500 rpm
- Maximum torque: 156.91nm @ 3000 rpm
- Compression ratio: 9.8
- Bore: 84mm
- Stroke: 83mm
These came in the Suzuki Cultus Crescent/Esteem/Baleno and was in production from 1996-2004 with specs varying from region to region with Japanese version being the most powerful. Mileage on the cut that i imported it from read 46K and you can tell by opening the valve cover that it is either virtually new or very well taken care of. I can guarantee that there is no sound/blow/malfunctioning coming from the engine, since it has been started on the ground by me and ran perfectly fine. I would never sell inferior quaity goods to my clients.
Petrol consumption will depend on how you drive. Will give you very good mileage if driven with a light throttle since it has handfuls of lowdown torque, and you can change to higher gears very quickly and the engine will not knock or bog down. Expect an average of about 10-14k/l in the city.
CNG is not an issue.
However, all things aside, i wouldnt recommend this engine to you. You're probably looking for a better alternative and a simple upgrade to your current model. In my opinion the G13/G15/G16 (1.3/1.5/1.6) from the Baleno would suit your application better and the conversion would be cheaper as well. The J18A swap would be more performance oriented and would require slightly more funds to swap in. If budget is not an issue and you want something unique than the J18A is definitely the better choice.
I've swapped this in Suzuki Swift (Khyber) and you're welcome to have a ride for comparison anytime you're up here in Isb.
