TopSpin Design (TSD) Swift upgrade kit

From: CBT.com
ARE you tired of your Suzuki Swift going uphill or taking that corner underpowered? TopSpin Design (TSD) has come out with new upgrades for the Suzuki Swift M15A 1.5L and Sport M16A 1.6L.

By using 78mm or 83mm pistons specifically designed by TSD Sam Sport, the upgrade will boost engine power to 180hp at 6,500rpm and achieve maximum torque of 287Nm at 4,500rpm, compared with 110hp and 131Nm originally.
The upgrade consists of high performance 86mm bore engine block with TSD thermal coating, oil cooler kit, high performance head gasket, high performance piston set with boron nitride ceramic coating and high flow performance fuel injectors.
Even with these upgrades, Stanley Liu, TSD president, said: "The fuel is still economical. Engine power is boosted but the fuel consumption is still well within economical range."

After the upgrades are done, the engine will allow 0-100km/h in just 7.15 seconds, compared with the original 8.9.
"The transmission and braking system will not be changed for this upgrade as they are already good enough. The Swift has enough braking power to cater for the boost of speed. Of course, if the owner would like more braking power or use it for the track, the stock system will need to be upgraded thoroughly to allow more safety features added into the car,” said Liu.

Additional upgrades are recommended to further boost the performance of the car. These include TSD Sam Sport E-manage with tuned fuel map, high flow exhaust header with TSD ultra BN coating and radiator cooling fan controller kit.

“These upgrades have not been done here in Malaysia, but it’s already popular in Australia. Too bad the Swift is not for sale in the United States, but we’re quite sure that many Swift enthusiasts who are hungry for more power will consider this. After all, the Swift is a fun car to drive!” said Liu.

The upgrade kit will be sold in Malaysia and Singapore by Automotive Synergy.
According to its managing director, Ian Sia, the menu for the conversion is quite extensive, but it all begins from the stock kit which is priced at RM13,500.
We took the car out for a short spin and compared with the normal Swift Sport, this one has an outpouring of mid-range torque.

Some Photos of my Swift

Snap some photos of my Swift after car wash and polishing.





First Modification done

My Swift's body dented not even 24hrs

Dam shit!!!
Found out that my car body dented cause by some one's door which I believe!
The dent was quite obvious and the mark are erasable too :(
My car was not even pass 24hrs and now already got dent on the body.
I hope my blog reader will always take good care when they opening the car door.
Try not to hit other people's car too... or install a rubber at the door so it will not direct hit other's car too....

My father's car got scratched too yesterday when part at Kinta City shopping mall at night.
I curse those Mother Fxxker which have itchy hands to do such sabotaging....

Updated with photo :(

Finally the dream came true!


I'm proud owner of a Suzuki Swift right now!!!

Finally my dream came true after months of dreaming, thinking, planning, and deciding...
Got my car this evening around 6pm... Everything is inspected and checked before the key is hand over to me....
One thing does give me a shock is the car key cost RM900 a unit if you need to replace one!
BTW the only tools given is car jack, and tools that change spare tires; no screw drivers or spanner too. (no big deals as tool kits are cheap and available in shopping center)
No complaint on the air con as it really cold... Car audio and sound system is quite standard... will try playing CD's or MP3 disc tomorrow...
Also notice that the main headlight is a bit lower than my previous car (can be adjusted so no worries)
Already drove around 20km and so far no complaint on it... very minimal outside noise and engine was quite...
Crusing at 80km/h with engine rpm of barely 2000rpm only....
Suspension is on the soft side and very comfortable too...
So far not much complaint as it's just very very new to me....

Will take more photos tomorrow too... stay tuned....
