did any one try H32A on GV?
-
What the heck are you talking about? ???
-
i mean did any one replaced the 3.2 insted of 2.5?
-
What's a 3.2? Are you talking about engine swaps?
-
yes
replace h25 by h32
-
I think what he is trying to say is
"Has anyone replaced their 2.5L V6 (H25) with the new 3.2L V6 (H32)?"
That'd be one fast GV, that's for sure...I donno if the axles would be up to the task with some big tires on it though.
-
Oh, I didn't even know there was a 3.2L made by Suzuki. If they can stuff in a 4.3L Chevy V6, I don't see why a 3.2 couldn't be done.
-
The 3.2 is not a H series motor. I was looking at one and it looks like a different bell housing. the motor is too new.
-
Yeah I don't really understand how someone would get their hands on one of them engines. They just started carrying them in 2009.
-
People wreck new cars all the time. Seen it happen right outside a dealership a couple times now - someone's paying attention to their new car / buttons and not driving.
-
Well that truck wrecked is still worth well ovver 10g's
Its not like a 2002 gv you can get for like thousand and strip it.
-
do you think it is posible to use the orginal 2.5L manual transmetion with that engine?
can you post GV with 4.3L photoes and videos?
-
are there any news?
-

Not with a bent frame.
-
is it ok if i used V8 engine but with small cc
-
does 3.2L comes manual?
-
I don't believe the 3.2L comes with manual transmission. As far as the axles holding up to the 3.2L goes, when I was at the auto show, I saw the 2009 with the 3.2L. I don't believe its front axles were any beefier than my 1999 manual transmission GV. In fact, I wonder if they're even as strong. The rear isn't even solid axle, and the rear shafts were very small also.. Suzuki might as well drop the 2-speed transfer case. These trucks have no ground clearance, no skid plates, poor exhaust pipe routing, small axle shafts, and the list goes on. To make matters worse, the 3.2L takes up more room, and the nose had to be pushed out further. Approach and departure angles suck. Why bother with the 4wd low? Just put out another cookie-cutter all-wheel drive cute ute if you're not gonna do it right.

I'm pretty sure that is what they said about the Samurai, Sidekick, and Vitara when they were all introduced.
I don't think these 3rd gen Vitaras will ever see the types of wheeling our old Zukes can handle with a few mods though. Besides the "one guy" with too much money who wants to try something a little different who jacks one of them up, locks it front and rear, and makes his own skid plates and body armour, I don't think they have a huge fan base and I don't see them ever taking off in the off roading realm. There are much better choices out there.

give it time, someone will be putting a solid axle under them, i remember when i first built my sidekick people would say the same thing, or "just buy a sammy its way better" but now look, good sammys are hard to find so people turn to sidekicks, and no one even looked at gv's and xl's, now sidekicks are becoming the norm and slowly we are lifting the gv's and xl's
its all a evolutionary proses......lol
