Dear Waqas, Thaks for this information. Can you please tell what is result so far with CNG installed by Landiranzo if not then when we can expect some results.

[Skill]

i re-searched on the internet and came to this solution, i havent tried it my self either so i wont say anything about it. But researchers say Iridium plugs are designed for waste-spark sytems. to generate the spark sufficient enuff so that the other dependent cylinder gets its equal share.

but in our part of the world wen u say (Rs4000 k spark plugs, people say the shopkeepers making a fool outa u, theres no such thing)

but logicaly a normal set of plugs costs around Rs600 (gud enuff for 10-20k miles) 10 sets equal to Rs.6000

but iridium plugs last up 100,000kms or even more. (costing 4k) in long run iridiums are better.

i have been known here at PW that performace plugs make extra heat resulting car to overheat.
Is it right if yes then to what extent?

That happens when u use un-specified plugs.

looking forward for it, so maybe now we would see Swift VXR / VXL CNG and No-Cng models. No matter how gud is it the coils issue would remain on CNG.

people here install cng in accord n premio so i dont think swift engine is more advanced than those cars , installing cng in it wont be any issue i guess

Swift/Baleno/Liana/Santro/Lancer, these cars have different iginition system. If cng works gud in one car it doesnt means its bound to work good on another thing.

Similarly a Prosmatec transmission Civic runs better on CNG, while a Vario (CVT) transmission Honda City messes up its transmission costing a hand and a foot.

Being a car enthusiast you saying "Premio mei chalti hai aur Swift mei kesse nae chale gee" seems quite laymanish.

I have a swift too, and upon my calculations, u dont even need CNG

Suppose it gives u 15km/litre of petrol (mine does).

For around 500 bucks, u get 7 litres of Petrol= 15x7= 105km
For around the same amount, u get a full tank of gas that lasts u, say 120km.

The difference is negligible.
Plus CNG cars wear out quicker and parts like the air filter have to be changed regularly.

And u cant beat the drive of a car on petrol as compared to CNG
Be it the acceleration or the A/C, everything's better on Petrol.

If u want a nice compact CNG runner, get a Cultus. Works great with gas, and is very efficient+spacious.

Cheers.

^ to add my 2 cents,

Ive said it before also a car giving 120kms on Cng is the maximum it gives, a car driven on first and second gear mostly (the homes grocery car) it hardly gives 80-100kms/cylinder. further more, IMF policies, and agreements Pakistan say all fuel prices to be almost same at some point in time.

CNG does save but for people like my dad whoose Baleno reaches a daily CNG average of around 135 kms with ac per cylinder, CNG costs him around 350-375 and petrol about 500 daily, which means daily saving worth 150, monthly saving 150*25=3750, and a yearly 330*150= 49,500. That is huge saving even if we count a straight 20k extra maintainence

But for someone who ends up paying almost similar amounds on Cng/and petrol fuel its simply no use, even if u save some thing the costs go into
premature,

oil change, battery change

[TRISKELION]

Nooooo, nooooo, plz dnt install cng...

[Adnan747]

So it means no update about cng in swift

[aqeelawan]

Dear Chinyoti, first can I know, kaun say Chinyoti ho? and your name? im also a Chinyoti.

A bit off topic but, Can you please tell me if i will 'save' money buying 'Alto CNG' rather than 'Swift NON CNG' with the following routine that I have.

My daily average comute per day on car is 40km max (including office/grocery/roaming etc).... lets take 50km/day to cover bigger senario for me. Will I be saving or losing even more?

1, Im nazmi,

2, Altos around 6.5-6.75 where as Swifts around 1058 (ghar atte atte costs around 11.5 +- (aprox) (insurace, tracker, registration).

What are you driving currently?? as for me My dad Baleno 1.3L goes around 130-135 kms on CNG worth 450, My Vitz 1.0L does around 90 kms on petrol worth 500kms.

When im driving Baleno at home the worst average it gave me on full cylinder was 75kms, the best was 95kms on one cylinder. So for me getting Petrol in my home car is better.

CNG wali gari, kabi cng seting out
kabi batry dies
kabi advancer dies
sab kch keralo plugs kamzoor
wires kamzoor
keep driving on cng the petrol system messes up, Fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel injectors, even fuel tank gets dirty.

Im Vohra, anyways I had City (Steermatic) which was stolen in DEC-09 since then im getting rides on my dads Mehran.

I am not talking about the price of both the cars there is hell lot of diffrence I just wana know will 'CNG' make me save a fortune? like you in your earlier post said it wond save more than 20-25k a year, honestly I can suffer 20-25k to run car on petrol + hav luxuray of swift in contrast to if im only gona save 20-25k in fuel from a CNG car with my millage.

The thing is I had my city on petrol for the shole time and now when im on Mehran I see substantial savings in fuel charges from 10-13k per month for city to 5-6k per month on Mehran.

[chinyoti]

^ maybe a person who has his car on Petrol drives a little lesser, but i gave you rought figures of how much can a car be driven on petrol and CNG with Rs.500 and 450 respectivly.

Mehran factory fitted has a 40 or 45L CNG cylinder it i guess does about 80-100 with in City driving, wats the average you get on petrol? 8-10?? or more??

A Swift as claimed by Swift owners does around 12-15km/l with in City, 500/68=7.35Liter*13km/l makes about 95.55kms. While a CNG cylinder 55L get cng around 7-8+ kgs goes upto 120kms. worth 450-480

So suit ur self. If you have long drives daily and u save 10 rs daily makes around 300 a month and 3600 Yearly. Its no use (i gues)
But if ure saving high then CNG zinda baad, compromise on the performance.

[mehranferrari]

^^ I do not know how people are getting 15km/l on their swifts. I get 11-12km/l in city with a/c on and I do not drive in a rash manner. I even asked Suzuki 3s people, they told me 12km/l in city on the swift is perfectly normal mileage.
