ive been more than tempted 2 swap the engines on my baleno and swift!! thats cus i only drive the swift and the lack of low end torque is quite irritating frankly! well i guess ill try an FFE and other basic mods before i think of swapping my engine as one of the reasons i like driving the swift is refinement ! its smooth and well balanced and i dont wanna take chances messing that up!

Pls suggest a good engine swap for my 2002 palio sport 1.2- its too slow. Who does this in Bangalore and how much will it cost?

SX4 engine in a Swift is an obvious swap. I'm surprised nobody has done it yet

Don't be surprised, SX4 engines are almost impossible to find!

[CaliforniaKnight]

SX4 engines will be impossible to find for a swap job. Why not consider the baleno engine for aswap? this should also be close fit.I know its the previos G series engine, but when you have enough torque, BHP and PWR who cares?

[nikhilv12]

But it already has 100 bhp. and more over, it is from, newer M series of engines.

The question, is, will it be possible?

[iceman91]

sx4 engines are too hard to find and expensive. Can get much more bhp for the same amount of money with other engine options.

Also I am told that a TC is not very workable in a Swift..is that correct ? I know there is a Red Swift running a TC in Delhi, but is it really reliable ? Or does one end up visiting the garage for various issues every other day ??

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Are you reffering to GAURAV GILLS car?

[iceman91]

Tc is very reliable in a swift if done well..check a fellow tbhpians car, tc'ed daily drive. with ac and the works..

We do get engines in India which are imported in bulk/scrap from japan and once i was looking for a TD engine for my friend's Astra in delhi and i came across a V6 lying with a dealer, who told that it was a diesel engine and that too for a car.

Would you be kind enough to give me the dealers number
and very nice work on the discovery

[crazydiablo]

Go Turbo, thats the best option to get max bang for buck. Swift is a beautiful engine to mod.

if you want a turbo diesel why not go for the swift vdi?? and pete it

i second the braking part, my stock LDi when suddenly accelerated and braked suddenly too, fishtails like crazy if not in a "perfect straight", due to the heaviness at the front, now just be prepared for the same kind of effect after the engine swap! be it a 1.6L or another turbo diesel! i dint say V6 because its almost impossible and impractical!

cheers!
