Very latest Swift project updates

Saturday, December 11th, 2010

Lots has been happening on our Swift projects during the last few weeks .

1. The ROAD CAR PROJECT (a 2009 Swift Sport, bought new from our local dealer, Autosales Bilston, thanks to the UK Govt’s scrappage scheme!)  -

a) now after 100′s of hours and £’000′s of Pounds spent, we reckon we’ve finally found the best and most cost effective ECU system for mapping Swifts (Sports and others) - the Unichip-Q. It is installed as a piggy back system, but can be live mapped. In the West Midlands, our local dealer and new partner for this project is Aldon Automotive (http://www.aldonauto.co.uk). Alan and his crew there, who had never installed the ECU on this latest shape Swift before, soon figured out the wiring requirements, and they installed the box and had it running on their rolling road in hours; sorted the maps and did some final changes during a road test.

This was a dream result for us, as together with Piper we have developed some great exhausts (centre pipe and back boxes), manifolds and link pipes (with Sports CAT or de-cat) and we have cams available from Schrick. However, to get the most out of these special parts and make sure the engines don’t run lean at certain rpm, the cars need a re-map. That is not a problem in itself, but knowing that most Swift owners are not millionaires, we desperately wanted a cost effective system, which is easy to install.

So far we have just set up the map with our Piper 2.0″ centre pipe and single exit back box, together with a replacement JR Performance panel Filter, in the standard air box. The resulting 136bhp at the flywheel, improved torque and good pick up on the road, is well pleasing.

We will now set up Unichip-Q maps for the  Swift Sport with that exhaust system, plus the manifold, with Sports CAT and also a selection of intake kits (GReddy, HKS and Monster). Beyond those set ups, we also have a couple of expensive Japanese exhausts and a manifold to compare. Of course, when we have found the ultimate exhaust and intake package, we’ll then add the cams! We’ll be targeting more than 175bhp from the 1.6 Sport with this full package !

Other models will follow – car owners to work with will be required.

b) With the upgraded performance of the above packages, we’ll all be needing some improved stopping power – so it is well timed to confirm that we now have the long awaited AP Racing 4 pot caliper/2 pc. discs kit. AP had to develop a new slim caliper for the Swift, which is what took the time, and that is also now used in the latest JCW Mini Cooper S AP Kit. There was a delay waiting for this kit to be developed and tested, then produced, but the look and performance are well worth the wait!

They are shown here in AP Racing’s workshop, along with the 17″ Rays G07WT wheels, as used on Jason Plato’s BTCC winning Chevrolet Cruze!

We’ll be checking the fitment clearance with standard rims (may need a spacer) and with 16″ wheels. Also we’ll look at making the kit fit on 4 x stud 1.5 cars (with different bells for the discs, or double drilled bells)

Fitting a JR Induction Kit to the Suzuki Swift Sport

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

The following tutorial shows you how to fit the JR Filters induction kit to your Suzuki Swift Sport (ZC31S). The kit should also fit the UK 1.3L and 1.5L non-sport Swifts too.

JR Filters are the only filters that will protect your engine against particles as small as 2.8 microns, giving 99% filtration.

With these filters fitted, power is increased and fuel consumption reduced.

JR Filters are TUV approved and come with a lifetime guarantee to the first owner.

The filters are washable, which means they are always reusable; no more changing and no need for disposal.

You can purchase the Swift Induction Kit from our PartBox online shop.

Please Notes: Cable Ties are packed into the filter head – check before fitting

Tools Required to Fit:

  • Ratchet
  • 10mm deep socket
  • 13mm socket
  • Phillips screwdriver

Suzuki Swift road/track/competition project updates

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

We’ve been so busy developing various parts, that we’ve totally neglected to bring you up to date with our Suzuki Project cars – sorry! Our current aim is to develop 2 x initial cars, based on the ZC31S Swift Sport with M16A engine. A fast road car, and other a super-fast track car.

These cars will be developed over different stages of tuning, gradually perfecting them into super fast and well handling top performers.

Initial testing of the track car’s 1.9litre engine will be carried out at the Nurburgring by our good friends at Rent4Ring. They now have RHD and LHD cars on their fleet of 10 x cars. (more…)
