Honda Crz Turbo

[KeeSeong]

Hi all sifus out there,

Currently im considering to buy a crz.. but this car previously was a demo car (according to the salesman) not sure wad demo is it hehe.. so tis car already comes with turbocharged and supercharged.. driven less than 10000km and its selling ard 78k (hvt confirm yet).

i quite like tis car as the price is reasonable to me and would like to try turbo car hehe..the dealer also agreed to let me bring tis car check by any car workshop.

My concern is im not sure how much it cost for maintenance it case problems come.. as the car will be used as daily driving car.. and is it true that problems will b lesser if u dun tekan heavily.. but wad if outstation?? can the turbo tahan altho i drive normal? i worried coz heard a lot ppl complaining on turbo car... haizzz

i reli need advise from sifus sifus..every advise r reli appreciated..

Don't remember any CRZ variants having a turbo. If it has a turbo means already modified. CRZ basically is a hybrid running NA petrol and electric.

Yaya... tia car already modified by previous owner for demo purpose.. then he sold off to car dealer lo...

Hybrid, if previous owner did not do anything, should be ok. Only worried what he did to turbo/super charge the engine. BOT what boost, did he lower the compression, change to turbo parts etc. etc.
BOT without changing to forged parts you may have reliability issues later especially running higher boost. You need to check all this....:rolleyes:

Ooo.. okok.. i will ask the mods from the previous owner..

The dealer give me 2 to 3 weeks warranty..
Js now tested the car.. feel ok in terms of the transmission n the engine.. not sure how much the car boosting so i js press not too heavy lo.
Js the problem on d brake.. got sound when braking not sure is it brake pad finished.

And the adjustable suspension... v bumpy haha mayb too long nvr use adjustable abit not used to it.

wew turbocharged crz. must be fun to tapau ppl thinking crz slow car and see their faces when you boooooooooooooost

I'll advice u do a bit of reading and study on how an originally NA is turbocharged. Besides u need to know how to maintain a turbo charged car even more so since this is a BOT instead of originally turbo engine. Go read some on how to maintain a BOT especially on the oil change, temperature reading, boost level and etc before jumping into buying it. Otherwise you will only burn more money for repairs when u encounter issues or problems of which can be prevented should u know of it earlier before it happened.

if he traded off to a used car dealer, im sure that car had lots of problems. better get a used original one from direct owner.

I'm surprised no one is talking about the twin charge. He said it's both super and turbo charged.

If that really is the case, the car is very heavily modified and will probably need engine management (standalone). If you're an enthusiast and know your way around cars, it's probably an interesting car to buy. But if you're a newbie, it'll be a nightmare of a car to look after since you don't know what was done to the car to have this sort of modification.

 

[vr2turbo]

Oh! I miss that. I thought TS not sure turbo or super, read too fast.....hhahahhahahha

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

This one need to get ST1l opinion. Had experienced in Turbocharged CRZ before.

I further noted tis car went up to magazine b4 and i read the modifications i think shud b only TC la... not SC inside.. to further ask the workshop later.. and its bolt on without modified the internal.. hyvrid is still runnning.. clutch remain original.. js changed the stock injector, hondata ecu.

The engine was running smoothly. Tested the car was ok leh.. boosting level not sure.. i think less than 1.0 bar..

I wonder when i bring the car for checking, how they check wherher the internal is still running normally? I don think they will open the head n check??

But thanks for all the comments..hehe

If BOT they should have added thick head gasket to reduce the compression. Then boost should be low since internal not changed. Boost like 0.4 to 0.5. Higher boost can but internals won't last. Better check properly
