Digital Adrenaline For Your…
Suzuki Swift GTi 1.3
Powerchip technology enhances your Suzuki to its ultimate level,
delivering faster, smoother acceleration in all driving conditions.
Whether you enjoy a leisurely weekend cruise or a hard racetrack
drive – there is no easier and more effective way to release the
potential from your Swift GTi 1.3.
The following information is an overview of the performance the
Powerchip will deliver. If you have any questions, your Power
Consultant will assist you as best as possible. We look forward to
giving you the best performance possible from your Suzuki.

The extra performance achieved by
the Powerchip allows your vehicle to
respond much better than stock Swift
GTi 1.3s. You will notice an effortless
push back into the driver’s seat, to
give you a much more enjoyable and
at times safer driving experience. The
Powerchip will tap into your Suzuki’s
‘hidden reserves’, to give you an
immediately noticeable improvement
from your vehicle – we guarantee it!
Torque
Torque is a measurement of your engine’s pulling power, and it is
torque that pulls you up hills, allowing your engine a more linear
and aggressive acceleration curve. With the Powerchip, you notice
the increase in torque right throughout the rev range, which gives
you far greater flexibility at low engine revolutions. Towing will
become less demanding, and you will no longer feel the need to
take the engine to the redline in each gear to get the performance
you demand... It’s always there for you, when you really need it
most!

Acceleration
Increased Power and Torque results
in faster acceleration. And it is not
just standing start acceleration that is
improved, your in-gear acceleration is
as well.
If overtaking is important to you, you
will feel safe knowing that you spend
less time on the “wrong side of the
road”, improving the safety of your
car, for you and your family or
passengers.
Perhaps you feel that you need that
extra bit of power when you are lined
up at the "traffic light grand prix"
against another car with similar (or
more) power? If you want to have the
unfair advantage that will give you
more ‘GO’ away from the lights, you
need a Powerchip performance
software upgrade for your Swift GTi
1.3.
Fitting Details
Your car uses a soldered chip. Fitting takes about 1 hour and can
be performed by a Powerchip Authorised Fitter in your local area.
The Powerchip includes the modification and de-soldering of the
computer board so that the chip will have a plug-in socket
installed. This means that changing chips for the future is simple
and can be done at any time.
On Road Development
Where Powerchip really shines out over its competitors is the
emphasis and time spent refining the program for drivability and
enjoyment. Much more a ‘real world’ gain than full throttle horse
power runs on a dyno, part throttle refinement is a gain everyone
uses every time they drive the vehicle. Flat spots and poor off the
line performance are smoothed out in this process, and transient
throttle conditions are made razor sharp for the ultimate in
response. Real time changes to tables like throttle response and
power enrichment are done on road to fine tune the driving
experience of the vehicle, with acceleration timing equipment
used to ensure consistent and measurable gains in part throttle
drivability.
Drivability
Powerchip technicians do not spend their whole research and
development focus tuning the full throttle performance of each
vehicle. A significant emphasis is placed on the part throttle
performance. We understand that driving in everyday conditions is
more than just flat out acceleration, with your foot flat to the floor.
With Powerchip performance software, your car will perform to its
potential, even when you are not demanding the peak
performance. You no longer need to mash the throttle to take off
briskly, and in-gear overtaking can be performed without needing
to change down gears.
One of the main benefits of choosing to enhance your vehicle with
the Powerchip is the improvement you will feel in all driving
situations, no matter what your driving style is...
Manufacturers Tolerances
Suzuki unfortunately leaves large tolerances in the performance
characteristics of its entire fleet to allow for drivers that are
negligent on maintenance, and who are non-enthusiasts. The
Swift GTi 1.3 is ‘de-tuned’ to be able to run on the poorest grade
of fuel that the car is likely to encounter anywhere in the world,
and also to allow for the small percentage of owners who put their
cars reliability to the test due to their lack of mechanical
understanding. In most cases, our clients are enthusiasts who
place more emphasis on the performance characteristics of their
vehicle, and therefore the Powerchip does not need to be
programmed as conservatively as the stock software.
Modified Spark Advance
In the old days the ignition distributor controlled the engine spark
timing. Changes to the position in the distributor will result in
changed ignition settings, and is a good method of ‘tune-up’ for
older vehicles. Modern engine ignition is controlled by a series of
tables or maps. These maps give the engine any instructions
required to operate, under ALL load and rev per minute access
points.
Similar to the old systems, advancing the point of ignition within a
cylinder results in increased power and toque. It is important not
to advance the timing beyond the capabilities of the fuel used, or
else detonation can occur. Peak kilowatts are achieved when
ignition timing is set as close to the point of detonation as
possible, without exceeding it. This is the primary purpose for
asking the octane rating each client uses most frequently, so that
the software is set to the correct level of ignition advance for the
fuel used.
The end result of ignition advance changes is increased power
and torque, resulting in better acceleration and various other
driving benefits.
Octane ratings
The Powerchip is designed to get the best from your engine, and
to do this it is recommended that you use a high performance
fuel. When ordering your Powerchip upgrade, your Power
Consultant will ask you for the octane rating you would like your
program to run. The advantage of using better fuels can be
explained in further detail by your consultant.
Powerchip Gold is designed to run on fuel with an octane rating of
95 (Premium Unleaded, Caltex Vortex, Ampol Gold). Powerchip
Gold 98 is designed to run on fuel with an octane rating of 98 or
higher (Shell Optimax, BP Ultimate, Mobil Synergy 8000). We
highly recommend that you use the highest-octane fuel available
to you.

Servicing
In a regular service it is very unlikely that the dealer would
perform any tasks that are additional to those required by the
manufacturer. The dealer tool may be able to detect that modified
software has been fitted to the vehicle. The vehicle can still
continue to be flashed by the dealer with any software updates
that become available. The Powerchip does not 'lock out' the
dealer from reflashing the car. The Powerchip software does not
make it any different to service than a vehicle with out a
Powerchip. All 'Fault Codes' continue to able to be read, just like a
standard car
Warranty
All Powerchip upgrades come with a three-year, unlimited
kilometer warranty, for the original purchaser, which means that if
anything occurs to the Powerchip in that time, we will replace it
without charge to you.
The terms and conditions of the Powerchip warranties can be
