Espri with HDE engine

[EG9wannabe]

the topic refers ..

thinking of getting one ..

 

[reubenlee]

very reliable...
hd its a 1.6?
if it is you have to do 1.3 conversion b4 going 1.6

 

[anion]

HD-E or HD-EG u wanna put ? both is 1.6 but the HD-EG is from detomaso G202s....

as i noe its way very reliable....just normal wear n tear stuff gotta maintain....

but the engine built isnt strong enuf for racing upgrades.....at stock with minimum upgrades is good enuf and HD-EG is built like a semi racing engine....

 

[reubenlee]

you can make it a racing machine by turbo the engine but you have to change pistons and the lower part of the engine hav to change to the b6

EG9wannabe,

[TiBuN]

Currently with HD-EG, no complains so far.... 8 months using only ler.... *touch wood*... Scared you fall in love with the engine only :D

 

[MySecaSx]

hi TiBuN,
wahh...HD-EG inside what?aura,espri,ascend or detomaso?
where are u from?it's original inside body or U transplant from
halfcut?maybe we can share any experience about this HD series :D
think if HDC,HDE,HDEG inside Espri with DeToMaso...peh...macam lipas
kudung wei...fuel consumpsion oso very good...not much diffrent
with my 1.6 SecaSx ;)

 

[TiBuN]

It's HD-EG inside Aura. fuel consumption ok lah, if you rev kao kao then it'll be another story. What's 1.6 SecaSX ??? I'm from Penang btw :P

 

[MySecaSx]

Seca SX like this ;)

 

[MySecaSx]

this 1.6 20Valve 4throttle body ;)

 

[TiBuN]

:( Such a small car running on silvertop.... 4AGE
Putting in a Deto engine will be an under-kill I would say. You should try considering the blacktop instead.

 

[MySecaSx]

hehe...BlackTop mahal lor...DeTo oso mahal lor...
this one i get only 1.5K for half cut hehe...very cheap,powerful,
spare oso cheap,easy to get compare with my old G11R last time..fuh...
actually this is my wife ride rite now,i'm using HD-C inside 4 x 4 for this time... ;)

i heard fr one daihatsu member that one of this friend has turbocharged his deto engine..... was able to take on the gsr at a 1/4 mile drag.

so powerful ka? i'm really impressed leh.

 

[pearjai]

for single cam (soch)deto still the best but to compare with other twincam or doch its seem not worth la.Finally u shall see its limit....Not suitable/practical to make this engine for huge power....But where u can get 'soch' engine with 125ps nowday for a standard mod?Deto still leading 1.6cc single cam class ma...

 

[TiBuN]

For sure my heart is towards Deto already.... But SecaSX is driving 4AGE DOHC 1.6 20valve wor.....

OK, put it this way, this silvertop originally used to run a 1.3 ton car.... now running on his 2 door hatchback I give it maximum 800kg.
So if put a Deto hor... I don't think can get back the 'kick' loh.
Just my 2 cents.

Please be aware that I am in no way insulting Deto, but accept that Deto still limitation.
FYI silvertop halfcut from Levin RM4.5 - RM5K.
Our Deto halfcut only RM2.5K - RM3K only....

Correct me if i'm wrong.
