S-Zen?(Swift engine in a Zen)

raghuram.cg · 26th November 2006, 16:08

Hello,
Was curious to know if anyone in the group tried to put a Swift engine into the Zen? - just like e-Zen?

I am thinking this should be technically possible becuase its the same Esteem engine?

Any thoughts/comments/inputs appreciated.

BS Motoring reported a company called Performance Auto from ND that does this job. But then we have our own performance exponents in Psycho (Bangalore), Autopsyche (ND), Viper (Mumbai) . You might want to PM them for 1st hand info.

What would be fun now, would be the new Suzuki M16A, with VVT, DOHC, 11.0:1 CR, forged and shot peened pistons with oil coolers, and 125 hp. Sigh.....it's perfect!

Theres Swift engines already available in the market? I thought it would take a little more time for engines to be sourced from totalled Swifts, high mileage Swifts and.......chor bazaars!

Head and cam design are different. So basically, e-zen + head swap should be right. Of course, I could be wrong!

Someone please weld this ported head shut!

where is the welding machine ?

How would you like it gas or electric ! ?

No offence to anybody !!!!

Cheers

The swift has the same head as the esteem, but with new intake manifold+injectors+throttle body+ecu+air box. Swap those you it'll turn to a swift.
You rather get an esteem 16v mpfi engine, optimise the intakes and it will be much peppier. Up the CR and it will be a nice peppy set-up to begin with.

am engine vengine ignorant , so please excuse this noob query,

but what about DDiS in a zen? ( i know its impossible to source the engine, but theoretically)

or is the mounting impractical?

Performance Auto is owned and operated by Mr Raj Kapoor, He has his workshop in Noida Sec-2. He is known in Delhi for over charging on all products

He prepares a lot of rally cars.

I fail to get the point, what would be its advantage over the E-zen??
