Rm8k Wira & Jazz GK5 ownership experience-A long way to go

[sanekit]

Ok,noted.
The one I am quite interested is this. 4g92 Dohc is 1.6 right?

Yes. 1.6 u still pay RM90 roadtax. if 1.8 u will be paying RM297 roadtax.

back in the day I lived with the fact that no matter how powerful you make your Wira it'll still be FWD (legally) and pretty hard to drive if pushed to anything more than 200BHP. So I focused a lot on handling.

You can la. I never said you cannot. You can go to 400 also can. But with torque steer and light rear FWD syndrome it makes it very interesting to drive especially since you're an Auto kaki.

My old Wira had everything setup to corner like it was on rails - then later found out that my driving skill was all wrong, car too stiff and bodyroll is a good thing. Sigh

Yup,Copy of that I think so.

A mechanic I know is persuade me to swap my engine to a 4g92 sohc I was like bro even you are poisoning me to engine swap? Vdo is leceh mah swap to something no leceh only mahh.

Anyway any sifu have any suggestions. The exhaust tailpipe is pretty loud. May I know replace with which type of tail pipe can reduce the sound?

Stock wira 1.8 muffler.

Keep the engine stock or only minor mod until u outgrew the engine or u blow it. Then only change to more power. Sometimes a tamer engine allows u to go fast as u can run it to the limit almost everytime.

LOL. told ya. get the dohc 4g92 and you'll be smiling. hahaha.

what's your current muffler? got photos? need to know your piping spec as well. usually can add another resonator/midbox to quiet things down

Tomorrow I will take a picture. Muffler is juz a straight flow I think mid had a resonator. If I add one more resonator except quiet will it have any side effect?

Yup.I was like even you also poison me to engine swap. I think I will use until the engine is dead or something happen. I survey alot of 4g92 sohc price is really close to a 4g93 sohc. Half cut for 92 is around RM4k 93 is Rm4.8. Dohc don't even think. Saw one selling RM7.5k for half cut.I can buy my whole cart already.Hahahahaha

The most important thing. No $$$. As you say I juz use until the engine blew or something happen to the car then I only engine swap. In the mean time I juz drive it.

Btw 1.8 muffler can direct slot in or need to do welding?

Ohhhh....you mean those pattern like twisted one right?

My old myvi also have use it before the set up is

The original resonator also keep it I didn't took out since I told the exhaust sifu that I don't too loud.

This type right? Need seems like direct bolt on. But is it work on wira 1.5 to?

yes, can be installed on wira 1.5.
There are 2 version. 1) standard and 2) preng...which is suppose to be louder when you step on it. There are some videos on YouTube.

Change like mine also can... not loud... bassy sound when step on higher RPM or at 100km/h and above.

yes. dont buy those twisted one. get those hot bits resonator from speedworks. get this 9" length 2" in/out resonator is enough to add under your car - https://shopee.com.my/Hot-Bits-Perf...esonator-2.00-X-9-Inch-i.119505399.1910188310

If rear is straight thru', better change the rear to quiet one. To me, Adding in the middle won't help much.....
