Hey Sam... today evening itself i was seeing the pics of your car against the 320d on the facebook page and i was thinking HOW can a person even think of it. Called up 1 of my friend who had attended the event and he told me it was an E-zen and it smoked a VRS...

and strangely just a few hours later i landed up n your thread....

anyways Congrats for your ride...

OT: @ sam... By any chance did you by this car from someone in west delhi. The registration no. look very familiar to one of my cousins car who sold a same color zen a few weeks back. i am not sure about the exact no. Will confirm from him...

Hi dude , can you explain what is this CAM modding you did? do explain and can it be done on a 1.3 petrol swift ?

I guess he fitted high lift camshafts.They help the top end,at the expense of low end performance but that depends a lot on the cam profile.
I think they can be fitted to a 1.3 swift,no reason not too

Great car you have there, after all it punched a vRS right in the face.

I too had a carb zen before and had plans to do a esteem mpfi engine swap. But had to sell it off due to the constant trouble it gave me in stock form.
After seeing your video I do keep thinking about my old car.

One question, after the cam went in how is the power at lower rpm's?
