Go for K3VET bro. For MYVI, better look for Turbo R or GTti version. Less hassle on the engine mounting plus it kind of Type R version for YRV. Mean a bit faster than normal YRV K3VET.

With RM 10k as budget I would say might not be able to get the best out of it ;) My POV is as below...

YRV - RM 5000 (Whole Engine only)
Installation is around RM 2000 includes all parts (gaskets/engine oil etc.)
Piggyback ECU - RM 1.5K (with tuning)

BOT (D'Pro) - RM 7K (Including installation and ECU tuning)

And don't forget the brakes and suspension, you won't wanna run on BOT/YRV but with stock suspension/brakes ;) Those will cost another few more Ks for a decent setup :)

If money is NOT and issue for you, I'll suggest you go for K3VET for stability because the engine was built as a turbo ;) But make sure you get one with decent condition...if not you'll end up paying a lot to rebuilt the engine...and YRV-R is 'RARE among the RARES' so I don't think you can find any now...not with the RM 5K price tag at least...

Agree with jun_ng_1208. If somewhat U manage to find these type, better go buy a toto after u buy that engine.. :biggrin::biggrin:

When i got mine, never knew it was the 'R' version until I join the club and meeting people..

I dunno bout the exact HP for the 'R' version. Some say 140hp. but for sure, the pistons a little bit bigger than normal turbo YRV. plus the coil is different, has 'Igniter' box which the normal version don't have, two O² sensor, 220 meter, and no speed cut..

I am sorry...but i have to correct you...

What makes you think the piston bore of a Turbo R is any bigger than...What do you mean by coil?K3 are running on direct ignition....

and all K3 has the DVVT coil...just bukak ur valve cover and see...

Speed cut? japanese governement has the regulations of restricting it...unless the halfcut is obtained out of jap...maybe Russia or singapore....

2 x o2 sensors? normal k3 has it too..even NA....

and think logically...what makes u think DAIHATSU will spend much more money on doing R&D for another base out of K3 but just calling it Turbo R...?

The main difference is the ECU...the fuel mapping in the Management is different...

at most daihatsu will play with compression...just like K3VE and K3VE2...they just raise the compression of the piston and change the ECU mapping...and there you have an engien with slightly higher output.....

Thank you
Bro, between BOT or K3vet halfcut...i would go for halfcut..and maybe can kahwin with your k3 manual gearbox..

BOT is a fun process...but the tendency of going wrong is high...for a problem free solution...go get a K3vet halfcut..drive it stock...and its problem free..toyota/daihatsu engines are pretty reliable....when stock...

btw...there is another option since u are driving a myvi..get a 3sze....1.5 litre...same engine as alzas....

i would prefer CC...as there is not replacement for displacement.. cheers :rolleyes:



now ppl selling full half cut for YRV is around rm8k++.. no need mod anything, still can drive syiok syiok tapao Vios ma...
I am one happy owner here...with manual tranny boosting at 0.9 stock boost..

Since u say UNLIMITEd Budget:

if want power
1. change Rebore piston
2. LArge intake manifold + throttle
3. high cam + adj pulley
4. exhaust banana
5. standalone / piggyback tuning
6. Clutch Racing 3/4 Puck
7. Cantik punya Amoi

Advance :
1. Larger Custom Turbo
2. Injector larger
3. sexy girl

this is what u need for a FAST car .

Get a Sedan / Coupe / 3 door car better .
