Potential truth or bullshit?

Post by Merlin » Thu May 31, 2012 12:37 pm

I heard something yesterday, apparently Suzuki Grand Vitara pistons fit the H22 and are good for lowering comp for boosting :? I automatically thought bullshit as the H22 has the FRM liners and few pistons work with it.

Could there be any truth in this? :lol:

Could be true, found this on a suzuki site;
Grand Vitara 2.4-liter Inline Four

MY09 marks the first time that the current-generation Grand Vitara, introduced for the 2006 model year, will offer a four-cylinder engine. The Grand Vitara’s all-new 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine produces 166 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and 162 lb.-ft. of peak torque at 4,000 RPM for excellent response in all types of driving and returns up to 26 highway mpg. The engine features an aluminum alloy block, cylinder head, oil pan and timing chain cover. The forged carbon steel crankshaft turns in micro groove-type bearings that provide minimal clearance, helping reduce noise and vibration. To further reduce friction, the aluminum-alloy pistons are coated in a dry polymer film. A pair of balancer shafts driven by the oil pump sprocket further suppresses vibration.

A quick interweb check suggests the Gran Vit 2.4 has a bore of 92.0mm

Eny fule no the H22A has a bore of 87.0mm

A lot of people talk bollocks so you'll listen to them.

Isn't the bore around spacing 92mm? You could just use one big oval piston like an NSR!
