Does anyone know if the 2.0L Aerio engine will fit in a Suzuki Esteem? I just bought a 2002 Aerio engine and tranny. I am going to try to stick it in my 99 GLX.
It will be awsome if it works. The 2.0L looks almost exactly like the 1.8L so I am guessing it will work. I called Suzuki and the could not tell me. I also called the corporate people and they said I would have to call the factory in Japan. If it does fit I will be selling my 1.6L which runs like new with 72,000 miles on it. I had my manual tranmission go out on me. I found out how expensive it was for the transmission and thought (screw it, Ill just get a whole new engine).

I am attempting to put a 2.0L Aerio engine in my Suzuki Esteem. I dont know if it will fit. I am going to try the swap in June. If it does fit I will be selling my 1.6L motor. The motor runs perfect with 72,000 miles on it. I bought a couple things that would come with it too, like a New Greddy clutch kit, a New Goodyear gatorgrip serpintine belt, and a Beck/Arnley timing belt and tensioner. I dont know if you allready have an engine or not but the engine I have is in excellent running condition. I live in California, I dont know how far that is from you, but I just thought I would let you know incase you are interested.
