Please share your experience of running Dzire on CNG now. It's really nice to know that someone has got CNG on his Dzire Kseries engine. I have also booked my Dzire LXI ( initially booked VXI, but cancelled it due to it's Nippon music system) and the main reason to buy a petrol Dzire is that I am also planning to fit CNG to it once I'l complete 5, 000 kms on it. I was earlier planning to get the CNG fitment done from the dealer (DD Motors Delhi) to save the warranty but now feel that I should enjoy the K-series engine on petrol first and then will go with the latest and upgraded version of SQUENTIAL CNG system.
SEQ CNG is an advanced version of CNG kits in which you need not to compromise a bit either on pick up or life of the engine. Absolutely fantastic. This technology is allready used in Chevrolett Aveo. I have checked and found that this kit would cost you 65K from the dealers and 42k from my dealer who is also the owner of MIJO cng kits (tht's the Indian kit I am talking abt) but trust me as I am driving CNG vehicles for the past 4.6 years and think this indian kit is equally good and easily be compared with any of it's Argentine or Italian counterparts. But SEQUENTIAL KIT is imported as it will take MIJO few more months to develop onf of their own, still they are installing the imported SEQ Kit for 42K.
I totally agree with Rajesh that it's not always the kit but most importantly the retro fitter matters the most. I had an Indica Xeta company fitted cng car ( Shrimankar Okhla) but I think tata petrol vehicles are still not compatible with CNG as Maruti and Hyundai cars seems as if they are made especially for CNG :0). Now, that I am getting my car in another 3-4 days, would really appreciate some expert comments from the Dzire owners who have installed CNG in their cars. Especially from the owners of K-series but advice from the owner's of G-series and everyone is more than welcome. Regards, Manish
