Suzuki J engine

Last updated

The Suzuki J engine family is a series of all aluminium inline-four cylinder engine from Suzuki, first introduced in February 1996. The displacement ranges from 1.8 to 2.4 litres. It features dual overhead cams, 16 valves in total, multi-port fuel injection, and variable valve timing in later models. The J engine was Suzuki's 'big block' series engine. To keep development costs down, it had a significant parts and design commonality with the H family of V6 engines: aluminum block and cast iron sleeve structure, and valve train chain drive. [1]

The GM Ecotec engine, also known by its codename L850, is a family of all-aluminium inline-four engines, displacing between 1.2 and 2.5 litres. Confusingly, the Ecotec name was also applied to both the Buick V6 Engine when used in Holden Vehicles, as well as the final DOHC derivatives of the previous GM Family II engine; the architecture was substantially re-engineered for this new Ecotec application produced since 2000. This engine family replaced the GM Family II engine, the GM 122 engine, the Saab H engine, and the Quad 4 engine. It is manufactured in multiple locations, to include Spring Hill Manufacturing, in Spring Hill, Tennessee, with engine blocks and cylinder heads cast at Saginaw Metal Casting Operations in Saginaw, Michigan.
