"Tuning guide to the best Suzuki Ciaz modifications."

The Ciaz is a awesome tuning project to take up your weekends.

It was designed to offer a balance of affordability, practicality, and comfort, making it a popular choice in markets where compact sedans are in demand.

There are challenges when it comes to upgrading and modifying the Ciaz, namely sourcing specific components that might be needed. I am finding it hard to come up with parts so can only offer general advice so far in this article.

To enhance the accuracy and usefulness of this article, I encourage readers who are familiar with the availability of parts for the Suzuki Ciaz in their region to contribute their insights.

If you have personal experiences, information about specific markets, or suggestions on how to navigate the potential challenges related to parts availability, your input would greatly enhance the value of this resource.

The Suzuki Ciaz's appeal lies in its fuel efficiency, interior space, and value for money.

The Suzuki Ciaz is a stylish sedan that caters to a diverse range of consumers and presents a good value package that ticks quite a few boxes.

With its emphasis on comfort, space, and efficiency, it appeals to urban professionals seeking a sleek daily commute, families in need of a practical and roomy sedan, and long-distance commuters desiring a comfortable ride.

Its value-oriented pricing also makes it attractive to budget-conscious buyers, while its understated design appeals to a mature audience and makes for a perfect SLEEPER project.

Whether you're looking for an eco-friendly option, a reliable daily commuter, or a comfortable long-distance cruiser, the Suzuki Ciaz offers a versatile and well-rounded choice that meets a variety of preferences.

If you do your research then you can create an awesome Ciaz but don't be fooled there are lots of competition inspired mods out there that will simply not suit it read our unbiased guides first.

We review and look at Ciaz tuning and provide tips on the greatest upgrades. Suzuki Ciazs really good project cars and with the best performance parts you can certainly improve your driving fun.

Handling/Suspension upgrades

A lot of Ciaz owners like to make their cars handle better by making some changes to the suspension. This can be one of the first things you do to have more fun when you're driving.

KYB offer an Excel-G option for the Ciaz, but I'd like to hear your comments and suggestions before I recommend a specific kit. There does seem to be a shortage of options for the Ciaz at the moment, but hopefully this will change over time. There is certainly a lot of interest in upgrading the handling of the Ciaz.

If you want to make your Ciaz handle even better, you want to use fully adjustable suspension. This lets you make really small changes to how the car handles, which can make a big difference in how it feels when you drive, but sadly I have turned up no options for the Caiz, if this is different in your region please let me know in the comments below.

To do this, you might lower the car by around 28mm - 42mm. You'll also need to put in stiffer dampers, which are like special shock absorbers. But if you want to lower the car even more, you might need to do some other modifications too.

Ciaz Power Upgrades.

Now let's talk about making your Ciaz engine a bit more powerful. This can be exciting because it can make your car faster.

By following some performance tips, you can make your Ciaz feel like a really quick car, almost like a hot hatch. This means it could even beat some cars with bigger engines on a race track.

If you're really looking for more power, one of the best ways is to put in a bigger engine. If you start with a bigger engine, you can get even more extra power. So, if your car has a small engine, it might be a good idea to think about swapping it for a bigger one. This could be a smart thing to do because it can give you a lot more power for the money.

Engine Tuning.

These are the mods are usually installed by our members, decide how far you wish to go in your tuning project before you get going.

• 1.6 L I4 G-INNOTEC (petrol)
• 1.4 L I4 K14B (petrol)
• 1.5 L I4 K15B (petrol) (2018, India)
• 1.2 L I4 K12B (petrol) (Thailand)
• 1.3 L Fiat I4 (diesel)
• 1.5 L I4 E15A (diesel) (2019, India)

Getting the right modified modifications for your planned usage of the car is vital. Stage 3 competition upgrades just don't work well on the road and will make the car undrivable.

Best Engine Mods for your car

1. Engine Tunes - engine tuning/remapping provides the most advantage in terms of cost savings,  aftermarket ECUs, and piggyback ECUs are all alternatives.
2. Fast road cams are one of the most significant mechanical changes, but they must be installed by someone who knows what they're doing and they are not always easy to source but you might find a local firm to regrind a stock camshaft.
3. Intake and Exhaust - Note that on their own these mods will NOT ADD POWER in most cases, but they can help enhance power after other mods by removing the restriction.
4. Upgrades to turbochargers and superchargers - forced induction is the most efficient approach to increase air supply, allowing you to burn more fuel and make more power. It is one of the most costly upgrades but provides the best gains.
5. Head work - The goals of porting and flowing the head are to get air flowing into the engine while removing flow restrictions and turbulence.

Typical stage 1 mods often include: Remap, Suspension upgrade (drop 28mm - 42 mm.), Panel air filter, Alloy wheels, Lighter flywheel, Sports exhaust.

Typical stage 2 mods often include: fuel pump upgrades, Power/Sport clutch, Ported and polished head, Fast road cam, high flow fuel injector.

Typical stage 3 mods often include: Internal engine upgrades (pistons/head/valves), Engine balancing, Sports gearbox, Adding or upgrading forced induction (turbo/supercharger), Competition cam.

You should keep as much low end power as possible and aim to achieve a long power band across the rev range rather than a narrow top end power hike.

The point of our tips is to give a starting base of tuning performance parts and point you in the right direction, our forum is where you can ask for more detailed advice and tips on your car tuning project, the best motorsport upgrades and all aspects of modding cars.One of the most cost effective mechanical modifications you can do to your NA (naturally aspirated) engine is to fit a fast road camshaft .

It maximises the intake and exhaust flow and increases the power if done right. Ideally you'd add other mods and finish up with a remap. We'd also caution you not to go with a competition cam as this upsets the engines idling and general town driving characteristics.

When pushing up the power you will need to uprate to the fuelling. More power needs more fuel.

Most power losses, and erratic idling after motorsport modifications are done can usually be traced to timing or fuel delivery issues. To get sufficient fuel you may need to increase the injectors on your engine.

If you are increasing your fuelling with bigger injectors you will also need to get a bigger fuel pump to supply it.

Intake and Exhaust Tuning.

Now we move on to the intake and exhaust and ensure proper flow through the engine. Contrary to popular belief there is often very little if any power gain achieved by fitting an induction kit, they only help and are recommended after you raise the engines power to the point where the standard air intake box cannot cope!

Derestricting the air flow into the engine is a primary goal of tuning so get a better flowing air filter if you find that the car is running lean only if you find the car is running lean. Induction kits can sound great but due to the warm air in the engine bay they will not add noticeable power and more often than not rob you of power.

Do not go with the biggest exhaust you can buy this will reduce the exhaust flow rate - the best for power gains are usually between 1.5 to 2.5 inches. It is the shape and material more than the bore size.

Airflow through the head can be dramatically increased with some professional gas flowing. These should match and be setup to take into account any other engine mods. A good heavy duty fast road uprated clutch will help to keep that power going where it should. Never skimp or assume the standard clutch to cope. The best mods in our experience for your Ciaz are Remapping or piggy back ecu, fast road cam and air intake and exhaust.

Remaps offer impressive power gains on all turbo charged cars. On NA (naturally aspirated) engines the benefits are doubtful. However a chipped ECU on a NA (naturally aspirated) engine will help unleash the potential if you have done a lot of mods.

We've also seen some tuners experimenting with twin charging applications and making some very high power hikes.

Adding forced induction will see phenomenal power gains but this is usually too expensive to be cost effective. It is often easier to bolt on a supercharger than it is to get a turbo working. It is harder to map a turbo as the boost comes on exponentially with revs.

Superchargers will give a boost which is proportional to engine speed so is easier to map. Adding forced induction will usually require a lower compression ratio or water injection.

Alloy wheel upgrades.

Because alloy wheels are lighter they improve performance and they will help to cool the brake disks. Further improvements can be made to your cars handling with the addition of directional tread pattern tire. Large Ciaz alloys can decrease performance. If you get big alloys you will be changing your final drive ratio.

Due to this fact we would advise sticking to a maximum wheel size of 18 inches, although we know some of our members have gone larger than this with no problems.
