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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Base Maps

A base map for an Elite 550 is attached below. 
It was created using the information outlined in this article. 
It is very simply and base off of our Default map. 
Please double check ignition and injection settings before uploading. 
Using the wrong settings can damage hardware or the ECU.
