Suzuki Engines We Cover

Real engines from our warehouse, tested and ready to ship. Our Suzuki inventory spans every major engine family Suzuki has produced for the U.S. market.

H27A 2.7L V6 (Grand Vitara)

Grand Vitara (2006-2008), XL-7 (2001-2006). Suzuki H-series 2.7L V6 — Suzuki-native design. Timing chain past 100K is documented. Vintage donor pool, specialist sourcing typical since Suzuki exited US market in 2012.

N36A 3.6L V6 (XL-7 GM-Derived)

XL-7 (2007-2009). GM LY7 3.6L V6-derived — the third-gen XL-7 was co-developed with GM on the Theta platform. CROSS-BRAND GM SOURCING POSSIBLE — LY7 from Cadillac CTS, Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave will VIN-match XL-7 when engine codes align.

H25A 2.5L V6 (Grand Vitara Early)

Grand Vitara (1999-2003), Vitara V6 (1999-2005), XL-7 early. Suzuki H-series 2.5L V6 — smaller displacement variant of H27A. Vintage donor pool only, small production volumes, specialist sourcing.

M18A 1.8L 4-Cyl (Aerio/SX4)

Aerio (2002-2007), SX4 late variants. Suzuki M-series 1.8L four with variable valve timing. Robust, simple, huge parts availability in Suzuki enthusiast communities. Timing chain past 100K is the main concern.

2.0L A20 (Forenza/Reno)

Forenza (2004-2008), Reno (2005-2008). Daewoo-derived 2.0L four (Suzuki rebadged Daewoo Nubira). Vintage donor pool, GM Korea manufacturing. Timing belt is mandatory replacement at install.

Why Buy a Used Suzuki Engine from Auto Power Source

Suzuki exited the US automotive market in 2012, which puts every Suzuki engine into vintage donor sourcing territory. The engine catalog splits by origin: Suzuki-native H-series V6s (H25A 2.5L and H27A 2.7L in Grand Vitara and early XL-7), Suzuki-native M-series fours (M18A 1.8L Aerio/SX4), G-series 1.6L in vintage Sidekick and Vitara base, plus two cross-brand sourced engines that expand donor availability significantly: the N36A 3.6L V6 in 2007-2009 XL-7 (GM LY7-derived, shared with Cadillac CTS, Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave) and the A20 2.0L in Forenza/Reno (Daewoo-derived from GM Korea manufacturing). Cross-brand GM sourcing on the XL-7 3.6L is the biggest advantage for Suzuki buyers — donor availability jumps dramatically when you can pull from GM Theta-platform donor stock.

Our 100+ Suzuki engines all come from low-mileage donor vehicles, cataloged by VIN, and held in our climate-controlled warehouse. Every unit clears our six-step process: VIN-matched to donor and target, ASE-certified compression test on every cylinder, leak-down evaluation, run-stand noise & smoke verification, visual inspection, multi-angle photographs for your approval, and palletized freight. On H-series V6 units (H25A/H27A Grand Vitara/XL-7) we inspect timing chain condition and rely on limited Suzuki donor stock. On XL-7 3.6L N36A units we cross-source from GM LY7 donor pool (Cadillac, Chevy, Buick). On Forenza/Reno 2.0L we cross-reference Daewoo Nubira donor codes. On M18A Aerio/SX4 units we inspect timing chain rattle. On any vintage G-series or H-series unit we handle sourcing individually — text us your VIN for donor availability check.

You pay a fraction of dealer pricing for identical Suzuki engineering, ship free on a heavy-duty pallet to any address in the continental U.S., and get 30 days from delivery to return — no restocking fees. Up to a 3-year warranty covers you after install. Across 100,000+ Engines+Transmissions In Stock, our fitment-related return rate stays at 0%.

Suzuki Engine Buying Guide

Five things to verify before buying a used Suzuki engine:

1. Suzuki exited US market 2012 — vintage donor pool only. American Suzuki Motor Corporation ceased US automotive sales in 2012 (motorcycles and marine continue). Every Suzuki engine ships from vintage donor stock. Cross-brand sourcing is possible on GM-derived engines (XL-7 3.6L N36A from LY7 pool, Forenza/Reno 2.0L from Daewoo Nubira). Suzuki-native engines (H27A, H25A, M18A, G16) rely entirely on Suzuki donor stock — supply is finite and declining.
2. XL-7 2007-2009 3.6L is GM LY7 — cross-brand sourcing available. The third-gen XL-7 (2007-2009) was co-developed with GM on the Theta platform and uses GM's LY7 3.6L V6 (labeled N36A in Suzuki catalogs). Cross-brand donor sourcing from Cadillac CTS 3.6, Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia is available when engine codes align. Verify by donor VIN, not just displacement — early LY7 (2004-2008) and revised LLT (2008+) are similar but not identical. Text us your XL-7 VIN for cross-brand matching.
3. H25A vs H27A non-interchange despite shared family. Grand Vitara early (1999-2003) uses H25A 2.5L V6. Grand Vitara late (2006-2008) and XL-7 early (2001-2006) use H27A 2.7L V6. Both Suzuki H-series V6, but different displacement, different heads, different ECU calibration. They will not swap cross-chassis. Verify by production year and VIN engine code.
4. Kizashi J24B was CVT-paired — verify transmission swap needs. The Suzuki Kizashi (2010-2013) uses J24B 2.4L four, and the vast majority of US-spec Kizashi units are CVT-equipped. If you're swapping a Kizashi engine, verify your target chassis has a compatible CVT — the J24B is CVT-tuned in calibration and won't match a manual transmission target without ECU work. Manual Kizashi is a rare unicorn.
5. Forenza/Reno 2.0L is Daewoo Nubira-derived. The Forenza (2004-2008) and Reno (2005-2008) were Suzuki-badged Daewoo Nubira variants built by GM Daewoo (GM Korea) in South Korea. The 2.0L four is Daewoo A20-family — cross-brand donor sourcing is possible from Chevy Optra (Canadian market) and other GM Daewoo variants. Timing belt is mandatory at install.

Our ASE-certified technicians verify every one of these points against your VIN before any engine ships.
