Swift — Stage 3 ECU Tune
- 86% increase in power output
- 81% increase in torque delivery
- Improved engine efficiency through boost control management
- Enhanced fuel system capability with injector optimization
- Water-methanol injection for improved cooling and detonation resistance
- Wastegate boost solenoid tuning for optimized boost curve
This 2010 Swift came in as a proper circuit project: Greddy supercharger, upgraded injectors and high-pressure fuel pump, 4-2-1 headers, and a water-methanol injection system to keep charge temps in check. The Haltech Elite gave us full control over fuelling, timing, and boost management — critical when you're asking this much from a factory 1.6.
We mapped it on 98 RON for closed-circuit use. Power lifted from 27 kW to 50 kW at the wheels, torque from 44 Nm to 79 Nm. The methanol injection plays a big role here, especially under sustained load where intake temps would otherwise climb fast.
It's a tidy example of what a standalone ECU and proper hardware can do to a platform that was never meant to see boost.
Why water-methanol injection on a relatively modest power figure?
The M16A is a small-displacement naturally aspirated engine now running forced induction. Water-meth keeps intake charge temperatures manageable under boost, allowing safer timing and consistent performance during sustained track use.
Is this file suitable for street use?
This calibration is intended for off-road and closed-circuit competition use only. The supporting hardware and tune strategy are optimised for track conditions, not daily driving.
What does the Haltech Elite platform offer over the factory ECU?
Full control over fuelling, ignition, boost, and auxiliary outputs like water-meth activation. The factory ECU can't accommodate this level of modification or manage the additional hardware required for a forced induction conversion.
