Nice car sorely tempted by the Sport version especially after hearing about the supercharger suzuki sport now offer

Re: Silver Bullets replacement (caution pic heavy)

Nice car, the M15A engine is same as the Ignis Sport but with less power and longer gears, Ignis had much shorter ratios 70mph was 3500rpm.

Do not de-CAT it the CAT on the Ignis at least was in two parts, a nice tubular manifold which went 4-2CAT-1, so the gains to be had by removing
are negliagle, I know someone who runs at Castle Combe in LMA series in a Ignis Sport with no cat and his car only made 1bhp more than mine did with it, 122Vs 121.

There are loads of tuning goodies for them from Suzuki Sport themselves, much more expensive than after market but much much better.

http://www.suzukisport.com/english/index.html
can buy stuff from http://www.cappuccinosport.com/acata...Ignis__37.html

http://suzuki-shop.co.uk/index.cfm/f.../Category_ID/9

good Japanese sites that deliver to UK

http://www.nengun.com/
http://www.greenline.jp/

Owners club http://www.sisoc.co.uk/ where you can read about Matt88's Rotrex Supercharged Ignis Sport puts out about 180bhp IIRC, he works for Perfect Touch tuning/mapping/rolling road place used many many Fiat Coupe owners.

I like the Swift Sport, what car at that price has forged pistons, oil jet sprays on back of pistons and a port matched flowed inlet manifold all as standard, awesome!

Re: Silver Bullets replacement (caution pic heavy)

Dunno just looking at my options atm. The swift is loads faster than 85 anyway (not on paper but far more torquey) so not exactly needing to rush into things. I'd need to save up also got a year and a bit of manufacturers warranty left to run....but includes the Intercooler, Turbo, ECU, gauges, brackets, pipework and a DV...would be soo cool but I reckon I'll go for more normal methods I.e. remap, stainless exhaust, induction first also if I wait a bit I'll be alot closer to 25 and the insurance company might not just laugh if I tell them i've fitted a turbo.

Re: Silver Bullets replacement (caution pic heavy)

Shame it doesn't fit the M16 engines..

Stealing the thread slighty but went out for a test drive of the Sport and what a great car for the money..

Wasn't that great in a straight line but it handled great and even looked nice inside which is new for a jap car..

Thinking of one in the bext few weeks now

Re: Silver Bullets replacement (caution pic heavy)

Don't see why it would not fit a M16A engine as found in the Swift Sport, same block as M15A, M18A not available in any UK models AFAIK, or it may pop up in Vitara's, can't remember rightly though know lots of folk would like to transplant it into a an Ignis Sport.

Be careful where you take it to be remapped, read on the owners club site as there is a well documented thread on a remapping session organised at one of the UK's biggest remapping companies where it was found later the remap surmounted to nothing more than putting in extra fuel and on an independent rolling road made less power than standard, even swapping in a non remapped ECU achieved more power than quoted in fact 1bhp more than supposedly remapped ECU.

There is only so much you can do on a N/A car in terms of mapping, spark, fueling and modern cars are mapped so well gains are very hard to gain hence why all good remapping companies will never quote a figure on a N/A car. I know the guy who runs the Ignis at Castle Combe runs Dastek Unichip on his after he found again independently his "remapped" race car made 20bhp less than quoted by re-mappers.

Exhausts and carefully selected induction system may yield a small improvement, but again modern air box designs are very good and its hard to gain anything without loosing somewhere else due heat induction. Better spending more on one or two well proven items than spreading money on more unproven items.

My Ignis made 120.5bhp on r/r with a Magnex exhaust and genuine Suzuki Sport induction system with carbon fiber cold air box, very expensive but a bigger improvement than I expected on the quoted 107bhp, especially given exhaust was designed by Suzuki motorbike department, first time a Suzuki car ever had input by the bike devision. I only changed as one of the exhaust brackets rusted through.

Re: Silver Bullets replacement (caution pic heavy)

Forgot to add, so not only do Suzuki Sport do the supercharger kit
http://www.suzukisport.com/english/s...150/index.html




But now HKS are doing a turbo kit, it is becoming a tuners favorite the Swift. And has to be added with these pics, why oh why do we not get white Swift Sport in UK, was same with Ignis Sport, white only in Japan!
