G13B Engine
Information on the Suzuki G13B engine, as found in the Suzuki Swift GTI / Cultus.
Haltech ECU Options
All Elite models can run this engine.
General Information
| Cylinders | 4 |
| Displacement | 1298 cc / 79 ci |
| Firing Order | 1,3,4,2 |
| Cylinder Orientation | Cylinder 1 located near timing belt |
Sensor Information
Distributor
A Reluctor trigger is used inside the distributor. The pattern however is unique to only this engine type. It has a total of 12x teeth with no differentiating pattern to tell the ECU which cylinder is firing. This pattern is not directly supported by any Haltech ECU models and requires modification to be supported.
Tooth Pattern Modification
The G13B tooth pattern required modification to be supported. The modification involves the removal of the B and C teeth (from the diagram above) for each of the 4 groups of 3 teeth. This will leave behind only the 4x large teeth.
Distributor Reluctor Wiring
| Wire Colour | Description | Haltech Connection (Trigger 4-core) |
| Red | Reluctor + | Yellow |
| Green | Reluctor - | Green |
Configuration
Ignition Coil and Igniter
The ignition coil on this engine has an external igniter module.
| Pin | Description |
| IB | ECU Ignition Output |
| G | Ground (to cylinder head) |
| OC | Coil -ve (Output to Coil) |
It uses Constant Charge with a Falling edge.
Dwell Time
Throttle Position Sensor
This engine uses a cable operated throttle body with a position sensor.
| OEM Wiring | Haltech Wiring |
| Pin 1 | 5V+ |
| Pin 2 | Signal |
| Pin 3 | Signal Ground |
Pin 4 | Not Used (closed throttle switch) |
MAP Sensor
These engines do not come with a MAP sensor.
Use the internal MAP sensor that comes with your ECU. For higher boost levels an external MAP sensor should be used instead, connected to a spare AVI.
Idle Valve
This engine uses a 2-pin BAC (Bypass Air Control) Valve which is duty controlled by the ECU via 1x output. it is not polarity dependent.
2-pin BAC Wiring
| Pin | Function | Haltech Connection |
| 1 | Open Signal | Spare Output |
| 2 | Power | 12V+ Switched |
Coolant Temperature
Located near the Thermostat Housing.
Wiring is not polarity sensitive
| Pin | Haltech Connection |
| 1 | Any Spare AVI* |
| 2 | Signal Ground |
An AVI with a selectable Pullup should be used. If not and external 1k pullup to 5V should be connected.
Calibration: Use "Temperature - xxxxxxx.cal"
Created for Haltech ECUs using a 1k pullup to 5V
Air Temp
This engine does not come with an Air Temperature Sensor.
Wiring is not polarity sensitive.
| Pin | Haltech Connection |
| 1 | Any Spare AVI* |
| 2 | Signal Ground |
An AVI with a selectable Pullup should be used. If not and external 1k pullup to 5V should be connected.
Calibration: Use "Temperature - xxxxxxx.cal"
Created for Haltech ECUs using a 1k pullup to 5V
MAF Sensor
Although most users of Haltech ECUs will be deleting the MAF, it is possible to use a MAF if you prefer.
| Pin | Description |
| 1 | No Connection |
| 2 | 12V+ Switched |
| 3 | Sensor Ground |
| 4 | Signal 0-5V (AVI) |
O2 Sensors
The G13B comes with a heater-less single wire Narrowband O2 sensor. It is advised to not use this sensor and instead swap the sensor for a Haltech WB1 kit.
Adding a Haltech Wideband Kit (highly recommended)
For correct operation a Haltech WB2 kit is highly recommended for this application, with the provided 4.9 sensors replacing the pre-cat sensors. Swapping the sensors is accessed only from below the vehicle. Sensors use a 22mm socket or spanner to remove and replace.
Vehicle Speed Sensor
This engine uses a Hall Effect Vehicle Speed sensor that is located on the instrument cluster and is driven by a cable. A single wire is sent out from this to the ECU.
Injector Data
The OEM ECU provides both the 12V+ power and the ground signal to fire the injectors. There are two power pins and two signal pins, however both power supply wires join to a common wire, and both output signal wires join to a common wire, so all injectors will fire together.
It is recommended when wiring your Haltech ECU to run one ECU injector output to one injector.
Flow
The injector flow rate is measured with the injectors held wide open at 100% duty. For fuel systems with a fixed regulator pressure (often returnless systems) that is not referenced to manifold pressure the flow needs to be mapped over Manifold Pressure for accurate tuning.
Injector flow rate = 200cc/min
Injectors are 2.2ohm so the injector current control should be set to Low.
OEM ECU Information
Location
The OEM ECU is located in the Left Hand Side of the dashboard
