A Sport version appeared in 1996, featuring a 1.8-liter engine that was good for 120 horsepower.

Fitted to the top-line Japanese-spec Aerio (aka Liana), this 9.6:1 compression engine is rated at 92kW at 5500 rpm and 170Nm at 4200 rpm.

Suzuki Fours... Click for larger image Without question the most acclaimed Suzuki performance vehicle
engine is the G13B, as fitted to the Swift (aka Cultas) GTi. First released in 1986 and continuing through ‘till 1999, the G13B powered Suzuki to numerous GT-P class wins and earned a solid performance reputation. Its DOHC, 16-valve, EFI layout remained fundamentally unchanged – and so did its 74kW and 108Nm output. In Japan, however, an 11.5:1 compression version was released making 86kW and 110Nm at 7500 and 6500 rpm respectively. This remains one of the most impressive 1.3-litre engines ever built.
Click for larger image A larger 1.6-litre version of the G-series four-cylinder was also released in the later model Swift sedan and
Vitara. Unlike the GTi
engine, the G16A came only with a SOHC head and a simple single-point EFI system. Not surprisingly, peak output was just 74kW at 6000 rpm, but with fairly generous torque at low rpm. Australian delivered versions – as found in the top-line Swift of the early ‘90s – was rated at 4kW less.
For the ultimate Suzuki four, it is possible to attach the G13B DOHC head to the G16A block (as we've discussed at
"Head Start").
But straight outa the box you can’t go past the technology of the M18A
1.8-litre DOHC, 16-valve four with variable inlet cam timing. Fitted to the top-line Japanese-
spec Aerio (aka Liana), this 9.6:1 compression
engine is rated at 92kW at 5500 rpm and 170Nm at 4200 rpm.
The next step down is the Japanese-market top-line Cruze and base-
spec Aurio’s M15A 1.5-litre DOHC
engine with variable valve timing and a 9.5:1 compression ratio. This
engine makes 81kW at 6000 rpm and 143Nm of torque at 4000 rpm. The MA15 VVT
engine is also fitted to the local Ignis Sport, which is rated at a slightly healthier 83kW at 6400 rpm and 143Nm at 4100 rpm.
Click for larger image Using the same
engine design is the larger M16A 1.6-litre and M13A 1.3-litre. The M16A DOHC four – as fitted to the Australian-
spec Liana – generates a meagre 76kW but with a decent 144Nm of torque. The little M13A DOHC 1.3-litre – fitted to the Japanese-market Swift and base Cruze – makes 65kW and 118Nm. The M13A is also fitted to the local Suzuki Jimny and Ignis, where it makes 60/61kW and 110Nm.
More powerful than those 4-cylinders so-far is the J20A DOHC
engine – it sweeps 2.0-litres (more than any other Suzi four). Fitted to the current Australian-
spec Vitara 3-door, this 9.3:1 compression
engine is listed at 94kW and 174Nm (at 5900 and 4300 rpm respectively). A smaller
1.8-litre J18A
engine was also available in the go-fast Beleno – this makes a high 99kW/157Nm in Japanese form and 89kW/152Nm in Australian form.
The only turbocharged four in the line-up is the K10A engines, as found in the pre-2000 Japanese market Wagon R+ (chassis code MA61S). This 1.0-litre DOHC, 16-valve, VVT turbo intercooled
engine uses an 8.4:1 static compression ratio and makes 74kW at 6500 rpm and 122Nm at 3000 rpm.
______________
The M18A displaces 1.8 L (1,796 cc); bore is 83.0 mm and stroke is 83.0 mm. This engine has a variable valve timing valvetrain. With a 9.6:1 compression ratio, it produces 92 kW (123 hp) at 5,500 rpm and 170 N·m (125 ft·lbf) at 4,200 rpm.
