changing suzuki swift m15a auto to manual.

I dont understand why people care about losing to myvis. Power to weight ratio is huge with the swift being a heavier car. And who cares if you lose? The satisfaction of the mod comes from how the car makes you feel. Not if you lose to a myvi or not.

Ego... most boys have ego bigger than brains.. only when one grows old like yourself become wiser.

cabutz.

Honestly, you are better off selling the Suzuki Swift and buy Swift Sport.
 
Are you sure that we need to endorse with changing auto to manual?

I dont personally care about 'winning' against other cars on the road. i just want to have an amazing driving experience, more towards the cornering/touge kind of stuff. big engine no handling no fun meh. drag can la but why go on a straight line when there are mountain/country roads that are amazing to drive on. dropping gear before hitting a corner, hearing the engine roar to the redline, better feeling than drugs imo :biggrin: :driver:

You are right. Apparently in 2012 the requirement to check for gearbox swap "dimansuhkan".

That being said, you might still want to inform your insurance panel to update, and also do puspakom to update geran @ JPJ to avoid any complications should the need to claim insurance arises. For most cars, I believe (M) or (A) is stated in geran.

is it true that they stated the transmission in the geran? because ive search up and down left and right. It doesnt say anything about the transmission.

and i also renew my insurcae with kurnia.it doesnt say anything about the transmission as well. the previos insurance does say so.

hermm.....owh btw theres a news stated that the insurance price will be up 15% after 15th febuary. Better to update now,no harm anyway,if you dont to sell your car in the future.hehe

One geran for example: Myvi 1.3 EZi (Auto). Cover note on insurance says Perodua Myvi 1.3EZi(A) Hatchback.

I guess you can just update by informing insurance company. Not sure tho.
 
So dont have to go to jpj lah if change AT to MT? Woot. But with all the problems of changing the gb, then no thank you lah.
Planning on getting an ETC instead. Is the '08 suzuki swift drive by wire? I searched but im not sure if it is.

Look in the engine bay, look for the throttle cable lor. If it's not there it's DBW. But most new cars these days are DBW no?

for 06 to 12 swift, only swift sport is DBW. normal swift using cable.


yeap. cable. just checked. haiya. thank you sifus.

have you guys ever modded your AT cars? for me i prefer the cornerings so strut bars are a must. but i want just a little bit of a kick when i press the pedal. changing the air intake wont do much would it? what else can i change/put in my car? need advice :adore:

Since yours is using cable, you can change to undersize throttle pulley. It will work like Drive by wire ETC. Under size pulley will give better response....:driver:

I for one spent a lot modding my 3-speed auto Wira to get close to 96bhp on wheel. Plenty of grunt and torque on the low to mid but high loses out. But who cares la, I don't need top speed. My car is a Wira, going fast isn't really useful since everything else on the road can go faster than me full out.

The things you mod you'll have to take into consideration how much the gearbox can take. I'm not sure how strong the swift auto GB is, but the 3-speed auto Wira GB is pretty strong to take the beatings I give it without ever breaking.

PNP, lightening and balancing internals, oversized pistons, adjustable cam pulleys + mild cams, AFPR, lightweight wheels, proper exhaust, anything to reduce the strain on the GB will result in more power. 30% power loss is purely at the transmission so if you can lighten the load or increase the overall power to begin with, then you're gonna have a more responsive car.

I really recommend the first thing you do is go source for an ultra lightweight rim and good tyres. My 15" + 205/50/15 tyres weigh less than a stock myvi rim + tyre (14" rims). That made a huge difference in performance already.

Then only start going for high compression setup like high compression pistons, or the cheating method of using thinner gaskets or just skim the head.

Once you get used to that power then only start doing more like oversized pistons, and all other internal mods. Never go to the turbo with an auto. That's way more fun manual.

i read about that, that can be done at a normal service center right?

I was just reading your threads on the dummies guide. :proud: and then i read that you MT swapped. im jealous man. where do i find people who wants to swap gearboxes with me. :(

basic internal modding, how much will it cost? im in the middle of changing rims right now tho, so 15' 205/50/15 it is then. after the rims im planning on getting struts because i love going fast around corners :biggrin: and then i'll start with the internals. what should i change first?

Your case is probably impossible to swap. No sane Swift Sport owner will wanna go auto. :biggrin:

I don't know the Swift engine. So I can't really tell you about costs. Wira parts are super cheap so for me with all that was done, it was in the region of 4 to 5k total. I'm guessing yours will easily be more than that.

15" light weight rims! Very very important! Like Enkei RPF1 (if you got the $) or Advanti storm series rims. Lightweight good stuff. As for struts, yes - good if you're looking to have SUVs to beat in corners. If you get your suspension upgraded, don't go for hi/lo only. Those aren't exactly flexible. Stick with hi/lo/soft/hard and use stock spring rates. Add in a ARB and make sure you got good tyres dude. My personal favorite is the Federal RSR 205/50/15 tyres I'm using now.

The Wira 3 speeder is a tough GB. The 1.6 model 4 speeder then sure you will kill it......:biggrin:

If you can source the smaller pulley just swap it.

As for the tyres, what size are you on now, means your original size?

Ive been searching for MT halfcuts online and the lowest asking price is 4k. that will have to wait till later la. now focusing on wheels and struts. the little stuff. okay, light weight and im following your spec so 205/50/15. can ah? :biggrin:

im going for all struts except boot space. after that comes the CF hood. then suspension, internals, brakes, gearbox kong (for sure will happen as i dont think the swift's is durable) swapping MT, and finally BOT. from changing rims to CF hood, that's the short term plan. the suspension to BOT that is way long term. good plan? did i miss anything? or is my order completely wrong and i should kill myself. sifus need comments. :adore:

turbo. anything else waste time. you can get 3bhp by turning off air con.

planning on doing that but long term lah. when the car is old already then can twerk crazy. :biggrin:
