Thanks petrolic as i expected the face-lifted ritz comes with next version 83K21 of ECM as my car is equipped with older one ECM part no end with 83K10[surprise].

My doubt is what is features added in the new ECM any modification done in Engine level as old Ritz doesn't come with VVT logo but now all face-lifted one comes with VVT logo.

Petrolic for your info K-series engine was introduced in the RITZ only in 2009 both the engine carry the VVT technology so there is no diff in engine in my point of view.

The badge was missed in introduction model i think.

K12M — 1.2 L (1,197 cc) DOHC 16-valve, 85 PS (63 kW)

Not much modification - just some refinement increase and some mild ECU change. That's just for badges. Both are VVT.

That's strange.
Because in swift I have read it came in 3 tunes.
One is the old g13b then came K12 and then K12 with VVT.
K12 with VVT had better FE but lower initial pick-up.

Ritz petrol on the other hand was continuing with the same specs as the swift K12 ( the middle version ) till 2012. Then with 2012 facelift maruti updated the specs to the same as the updated swift.

Now got the point. But what's the initial point pickup problem with the VVT? Please explain.

For your Info petroholic as per maruti

New Delhi, October 26, 2009: Maruti Suzuki, the largest car manufacturer in the country, today launched the new Ritz with an engine powered by advanced VVT technology. The company has also introduced a 5-speed manual transmission variant of the new Ritz.

The environment friendly new Ritz is amongst the Hatchback segment to be BSIV compliant in the country. BSIV regulations are scheduled to be introduced in the country in April 2010.

The VVT or Variable Valve Timing allows the timing of the intake valve to be changed while the engine is in operation, thereby ensuring that there is never a shortage or wastage of power. This leads to improved engine efficiency, optimized fuel consumption and lesser carbon emissions. With the advanced VVT technology, the car starts, accelerates and climbs steep slopes better. In essence, the technology is an intelligent system leading to a smoother, more luxurious drive and better mileage.

Congrats....Instillation looks neat - great work,

But why the picture in display tilted towards Right Side ? The fence looks straight at the fourth picture via back windshield why not in the HU display ?

Did you install any sensor or just the camera ?
