Any G series engine will fit easy.
Upto you, you can swap g10 came with efi in cultus
Or baleno g13.

I don't recommend getting an engine swap. If you want a more fuel efficient car, you should sell cultus and buy a mehran.

Engine swaps are not always successful or recommended. Also, you will have trouble selling the car at the right price.

Mechanics recommend engine swap since they get a bargain from the new engine parts they get. Either get a new car, an engine overhaul or install CNG. Personally I would change the mechanic who suggests an engine swap. They are greedy!

@superdanishanwer thankyou danish bhai for advice definitely if i swap engine market value decrease now my plan is sell this car and but a honda idsi model or corolla saloon

[superdanishanwer]

Both choice cars are much more reliable and comfortable than Cultus. Go for it.

[Hassan1991]

Should be 14-15km/l as cultus is lighter then baleno.
G13b swap will not decrease your cars market price.

Issue with swaps these days is the old engine prices are so high its not worth it.

Proper swap will cost over 150k and spending this much on old cultus well think twice.

This is not true. Who's told you this story brother?
Swapping a G in cultus is never a disaster.
And the only issue is money.
Good G swap is around 200-220k with full system.
And any professional doing it will wire it up as it is in Suzuki esteem or Baleno, everything from Axles to downpipe will be done, along with ac system working.

However g13/15 gives 13-14 local and 16-17 long.
And if you think you will get extra money selling it with itd genuine engine then keep the old engine, get it reinstalled if u wanna sell ur car but u won't get extra penny..
Used cars are bought on condition. If they're not genuine from exterior then engine or any other thing can't devalue it.

Exactly, G series is expensive I was looking for any alternative to G without much alteration but I think its better to Sell cultus and get Baleno or Liana.

I had never done an engine swap. But majority of senior PWs recommend an engine overhaul rather than a swap.

Also, while searching for a used car (Liana and Honda 7th Gen.), a lot of car owners were selling their cars a few months after an engine swap at cheaper than market prices.

Here are some comments from fellow PWs about engine overhaul and swaps.

I think there is nothing harm in overhauling the engine, but choose good workshop, i even see old cars with engine overhaul twice. With engine swap market value is down, you don't exactly know about engine condition is, need some paper work as well. I overhauled my Suzuki Mehran from Shamim autos in 2011, it is right next to Shell petrol pump near Mukka chowk, My car done 35k kilometer since then and running fine Alhumdulillah, they will charge you high but they have proper tools and equipment t…

it is a local car and overhaul parts are available brand new. Rebuild will help you keep vehicle for next 5 years trouble free. Yes maintenance as in engine oil and oil filter change is key to long life engine. if you swap an engine you are gambling high . the engine from yard is used . the engine from yard does not have any history as in where from which variant of car it is from. remember engine from scrap yard is a SCARPPED item exported from some where landing in Pakistan as scrap . you…

Did that aeronautical assh*le know the so called "new engine" was abused first and then dumped by Japanese to be sold in Pakistan? Does he and his team of idiots install scrapped "new engines" in airplanes and risk lives of people? Obviously people selling their cars after engine swap is due to that weak engine they got from Haji Sahab of scrapyard that has started giving smoke within few months of use.

Both aspects have their risks. I recently rebuilt a engine of a toyota Vitz gen 1. Honestly I wasnt satisfied. Japani rings had their issues, the car was heating everyday. Then changed them with orignal rings from a scrapped car, then the car could take load, but wasnt running the ac. If you wana sell the car rebuilt is better. The first question people ask is if the engine is changed. If you want to keep the car better replace the engine. You will get your car back in 2 days. A car op…

Bhai its a crime which everyone finds legal for his case :). And for others its a crime. Problem is when someone is honest and tells that engine is changed his car is treated as someone treats talak yafta khatoon here. People then do this ..its our people who created this fraudulent way.

I have done 3 swaps. Perfect swaps and kept one car for 8 years other with same owners from last 7 years. Swaps works but if proper work is done especially proper wiring. Overhaul is recommended when you are getting same engine swapped but I upgraded from 2E carburetor engine to efi 5afe and in the 2nd swap from diesel to 7afe big improvements from old engines.

Tht was when I bought 7afe with uncut in excellent condition for just 55k.

[dani_kk]

No no in cultus you don't need to mod anything. In khyber we've done many, it required alterations

[dani_kk]

You asked for a swap we advised you its possible.. I've done many overhauls on cultus oem engines. And i would myself suggest an overhaul... But if you want to run a G13/15 im telling its possible and can be done but money will be spilled like water..
However a full overhaul of cultus g10 is more convenient.

[pwuser15975161616]

Brother don’t change the engine, I used cultus car with changed engine ( Magalla efi) . I used for 3 years and i face many issues.
Like RPM dropping, AC working etc
