Infractions: 0/1 (5) | ![]() Thanks for your note. I am yet to do the TD. I will take this point in account when I try. In general, I have tried driving multiple cars (from my friends) and for me turbo lag wasn't an issue most of the times. |

You get to appreciate the goodness of lack of turbo lag when you start driving the lagless engine through the city traffic. Prime examples being the Honda i-Dtec, Renault Diesels ( the smaller PS ones ) and even the Etios D-4D. On the highway, what you need is not hard acceleration, but better dynamics, braking, tall gearing for effortless cruising, Give me any turbo charged Diesel car in India with more than 150 Nm of torque, and I can bet that I'll reach a 500 km destination in almost the same time. So, all of that additional PS doesn't matter much in real world driving even though it might matter in a drag racing. But, having a lagless engine reduces your driving stress multi fold in city traffic conditions which you will encounter a lot in India. I consider the Honda Diesel engine as the best of both worlds. It has the power for fast highway drives, and it performs equally good on city traffic conditions. Another one which performs flawlessly in both these conditions is the Ford Figo Aspire's new diesel - 215 Nm from 1750 rpms to 3000 rpms! An engine, I'm eagerly waiting for is the Toyota 1.4 Euro 6 Diesel. It will give you 205 Nm of torque from as low an rpm as 1400 rpms all the way upto 2800 rpms! Hopefully, it might make its debut in an year or two on Vios & Corolla. | ||

The same stretch of (Salem-Ulundurpet) NH68 that I do on the Lodgy shaves off almost 40 minutes in comparison to the Ertiga. Quote:
Sorry to go off-topic, folks, back to Ertiga discussion now. | |||

For Engine Auto shutdown @ idle on Neutral
For engine automatic restart without clutch depress
In addition to the above, there is a manual override button as well. Torque boost works the following conditions.
Another interesting thing is that the vehicle restart when clutch is depressed is performed by the ISG ( Integrated Starter Generator ) and not the starter motor while the normal start is handled by the starter motor. Not sure about why it's done so though. Courtesy - The director of Autoteam Maruti Service Zone, Kochi - Rajan Sir Quote:

If your cruising speed is 140 kmph, these high value PS numbers doesn't matter. You can easily be on that speed all day on a lagless 68 PS engine. It's relative speed that saves you time, not acceleration. And any speed over 140 kmph, I don't consider it safe on Indian highways for consistent cruising. You can do short bursts though. The fastest, I've done in the Kochi - Trivandrum highway is using a 1000 cc Maruti Suzuki Zen ( not mentioning the numbers here because I do not want to promote unhealthy competition ), not with the 90 PS Esteem or the 170 Nm torque Etios Diesel. So, it was just the driving skills and mood which limits me in getting good timings on Indian Highways, not the lack of PS numbers. Slot it in the right gears, reach a good cruising speed and you will clock good highway timings. PS doesn't matter at all. But, if you are doing a drag race, yes it matters. Quote:

Installation is not at all cumbersome and there are a lot of friends who have done in their cars (Not an Ertiga though). However, I still remember a case with a Scorpio that started emanating burning smell while we were on a group drive and the culprit turned out to be this up-module that he had installed. My take on this is - Really not worth an accessory that you want to install at all. | ||

BHPian | ![]() Friends, is there a way to upgrade the preloaded maps that come with ZXi+; apart from getting it done by the dealers? The one that I have isn't the latest and would like to upgrade it. |
