If you want more power theres always the later model Vitara J20 but its a lot more work and I don't think it'll fit your box so you'd really need a donor car.
Swapping a G 16A to G15B will be a lot of work. G16B's are EFi and will require en EFI fuel tank, VSS fitted into your cluster, fitment of the G16B engine loom, airbox, and lots of other small things.
No, the ports are not the same, G16a's have rectangular ports and G16Bs have round ports.

I've had a couple of Vitaras with dead engines, and my 2c worth would be to throw a set of rings, bottom end bearings and a head gasket in the one you already have for the sake of a couple of hundred $$$
...if you can do it yourself.
Otherwise, spend close to $1k and get someone else to plonk one in for you.
1998 Vitara Hard Top 2.0 EFI
