Obviously, like all motorcycle engines, someone has thought of installing it on a small plane.

-The Suzuki GT185 motorcycle engine was no exception. It is a two-stroke engine with two cylinders in line giving 20 HP at 6,800 rpm.

-But car engines are the most adapted as we will see below.

-One of them is American Power Kits with a 100 HP Suzuki and four cylinders, including turbocharger, belt reduction gear in two versions: 2 to 1 and 2.64 to 1.

“Suzuki by Power Kits”

-Other adaptations have been made by Suzi Air, Raven Redrives, etc., of which we give some samples below:

“Geo-Metro car engine conversion”

-The 3 and 4 cylinder Geo-Metro engines are widely used as we can see in the provided illustrations.

-The 1300cc four-cylinder engine, giving 111 HP is the one that follows.

-And then an interesting and nice adaptation of a Suzuki V8 engine (on a Titan T-51), a downsized Mustang.

“Two Suzuki installations”

-Two new Suzuki liquid-cooled engines are provided in this review, the 550, the 650 and Twin 700.

“Suzuki T-700”

-The Suzuki 550 can be obtained “tuned” for 90 HP and normal with 62 HP.

-The twin-cylinder version of the illustration above gives 90 HP.

“Suzuki 650”

-The 650 cc, liquid-cooled engine gives 102 HP, increasing to 135 HP with some modifications. It weighed 78 lb.

From Appendix 6: Just like Subaru, Suzuki engines are making their way into light aircraft.

-Starting with the Geo-Metro already mentioned in the main text, we see several applications and each case is different.

“Geo-Metro with upright cylinders”

-The Suzuki 1300cc engine has been seen installed with the cylinders in a horizontal position, tilted to one side. As in the following examples.

“Suzuki 1300 cc”

-We clearly observe the asymmetry of the installation of this engine, since the output pulley on the crankshaft is located on the left of the aircraft.

-The same occurs in the below photographs of other aircraft with these engines.

“Two Suzuki 1300cc installations”

-Another Suzuki engine, the Mini-Merlin, has been adapted by Titan Aircraft for its Bulldog model aircraft.

“Converted Suzuki Mini-Merlin engine”

-Geo-Metro engines are designed by Suzuki.

-As mentioned several times in the text, Suzuki belongs to the General Motors group and for this reason their engines are sometimes installed in Chevrolet vehicles.

“Geo-Metro, adapted by Raven-Redrives (see)”

-In this photograph of a Raven Geo-Metro we see that the engine that normally works upright, is lying flat.

-And that is how it is done by Tampa Bay Aerosports.

From Appendix 6: A curious photo is presented of a coupling of two Suzuki Swift car engines, in a twin assembly but with each engine driving a propeller.

-Mounted on a Cozy canard aircraft and as a pusher system, not a puller.

"Curious twin Suzuki Swift engine installation"

From Appendix 9: Among the modifications and adaptations of car and motorcycle engines, the Twin-Suzuki is one of those that stands out for its complexity.

“Twin Suzuki on C-OZ (Long Ez)”

-They are two Suzuki car engines mounted side by side -twins- with a mechanical connection mechanism by belts and two coaxial and contra-rotating propellers.

From Appendix 10: Adaptation of a car engine of this brand with a belt reduction gear.

“Clearly visible reduction gear”

-A 4-cylinder car engine installed on a “Trike” in the pusher position.

“Suzuki with a mechanical reduction gear”

From Appendix 12: Car engine adapted for general aviation, VLA or experimental.

-In this case it is the Suzuki 1.6 l, 16 valves and with 165 HP of maximum power.
