Chip or Piggy back ECU and K&N

CCS77 · Sat Feb 19, 2011 8:19 pm

I want to order this stuff but I also bought the 100,000 7yr bumper to bumper warranty

Will it void that? Realistically does this improve accelleration and mileage much?

Any way to fix the launch on this thing? My go kart is faster...

Is it a shifter cart? Some of the shifter carts are faster than most cars on the road today.

lol...no.

Anyone done these mods? Anyone still have the 7yr warranty and had service doen since the mods where installed? I'd like to at the very least get the K&N filter, what the deal with that? Spray it with lube and drop it in or drop it in dry?

K&N shouldn't do anything to your warranty. The Piggy back ECU also shouldn't void the warranty, but if you had major engine troubles I could see them try to back out of fixing your car. Realistically Suzuki would have to be able to prove that the modification caused the problem, and by the time they do that they might as well just give you a new engine because it will be cheaper.

Rob (ROCK on the forum) @ road///race will probably have a better answer. Their company works directly with suzuki so i'm not overly concerned with any of their parts. If you see something really cheap I would probably stay clear.

I don't really know about realistic power gains, but I want to say it was between 10 and 20 hp.

How do I get in touch with Rob and is the piggy back ECU easy to remove because I'd just take it off when I went nto Suzuki for warranty work.

Do I just drop the K&N filter in dry or is there a spray lube to use with it?

Thank you for the help man!

This forum isn't very active are there more active forums for the Kizashi?

You should spray before you drop it in. If I remember correctly, the filter comes either pre-lubed or else give you enough for the first time.

No, there isn't. Suzuki only sold 6,138 Kizashis in 2010.

Boy, that's not many cars! I think that has to be less than say most any other car except maybe Maserati or Ferrari or maybe Lamborghinis. Sure hope Suzuki starts advertising our cars and others purchase them or we'll be driving an orphan. Many old well built cars have fallen into this group.
