G10, G13, G13A, G13B, G15A Suzuki engines
Content
The G family of engines installed on Suzuki cars is highly economical and has a long service life.
Even despite their great age, many units work properly and are used not only as contract engines for cars, but also in small amateur aviation.
Suzuki G10 engine
The G10 engine was developed as the basis for a new line of liter class cars. Specialists from the American company General Motors took part in its design, and production began in 1983. Initially, the unit was installed on the Suzuki Cultus, and its modernization was carried out synchronously with the development of this series of cars.
Description and characteristics of G10
The engine has the following differences:
- Carburetor four-stroke three-cylinder engine.
- The fuel supply system of later versions (G10B and G10T) was equipped with electronic injection and a turbocharger.
- Six valves driven by an overhead camshaft.
