Message: <blockquote data-quote="Izso" data-source="post: 1064505023" data-attributes="member: 2429">I'm not fully familiar with the Swift so I'll talk very generic mods that apply to almost all cars. My car is NA, FI will always be less reliable compared to NA unless it's stock FI (forced induction) to begin with. Even so maintenance is higher.Does the swift have an aluminum block or steel block? If aluminum then you won't be able to do oversized pistons I think. I wonder if it's possible to bore out the cylinders.... Anyway for oversized pistons, the cheapest way is to find suitable pistons that are slightly larger (1mm to 2mm larger max) from another car, perhaps a Vitara piston or something (I'm not sure) and force fit it into your Swift. But since the piston is wider/larger, you'll need to bore the cylinder chamber to fit it. And usually if you bore it, it's advisable to reinforce the cylinder walls with a strong liner. Imagine you make the inside of a porcelain cup wider by boring it. It would make the cup walls very thin, so you reinforce the inside of the cup with a steel wall. That's what resleeving is. There's several types of sleeves in the market, the seriously overkill but strong like hell HKS ones, or the slightly cheaper but strong BMW ones and so on. Ask your mech/tuner and if they have the contacts they'll know what to recommend and at what cost. The other thing that might work is a stroker kit. I don't know but *maybe* the Vitara crank might fit the Swift? Anyway, if you can get a stroker kit to go with the oversized pistons you'll be quite happy with the extra torque from the longer stroke and extra bhp from the pistons.Suspension wise really depends on your age. If you're young and nubile - hi/lo will work for you. Tein Hi/lo can be quite harsh. If you're older like me, hi/lo/soft/hard is the way to go. I won't comment about brands, too many to choose from and personally tried only a limited few. Personally I'd do exhaust last. You'll never know how far you'd wanna go with the engine. A Turbo exhaust can be as large as 3" width, mine was 2" throughout the whole system. But mine's a wira la, different car.I think your stock car figures is in the 80bhp range right? To hit double that mark will be a challenge for NA. You'll definitely need to everything I just said earlier and on top of that have management. *maybe* you could hit 140 on the wheel. But I think the easiest way to achieve that sort of power is FI la.</blockquote>
