I keep coming across the use of the renault 1.9 in the suzuki gv as a 1.9 ddis.

They changed the mounting layout etc. being seriously cramped

These engines were never designed to fit inline, only across the engine bay. So yes, quite cramped. There may be a code which states the fitting style included in the engine number.

 

Cheers Oldtrack, thanks for the reply

I was wondering what parts from the renault can be used in the suzuki,

btw, thats some serious kit on your GV

Thanks Richard, yes it's all about how much money you want to throw into your hobby
As for parts for the F9Q, you can get it all from Renault and much cheaper of course. Ebay is my favourite hunting ground.

Buy anything for your Suzuki from a dealer and they just add $$$ to the price.
Nissan X-Trail's also run the engine, so check prices there also.

Oldtrack, how is your chip for the your diesel? It seems like most chips offer quite a decent improvement in torque and power. Did it make a big difference in terms of acceleration and power for overtaking on highways?

 

There is a marked improvement on both pick up and torque. It is also easier starting, and i think this is because it increases the fuel line pressure.

Without the chip, she's a bit slow at takeoff from the lights, but plug the chip in and off she goes

There are various chips out there, and price varies. I was very lucky to find mine on ebay, taken from a GV, for $1.00 plus delivery.

 

Wow what a bargain, I'm regretting getting the petroleum 2.7L V6, it goes alright by itself without much weight but when towing, it struggles taking off and climbing hills, the extra torque of the diesel would be much more ideal.
