Hi. I'm new here.

What can I mod in my car for smooth city driving and touge? By the way, hoping for better FC too. The car is pretty slow while climbing hill. sad.gif

Either stay with 4G15 then change to manual transmission open pod air filter, exhaust system, all the stuffs in engine and....etc.
Or transplant to 4G61/91/93? What else I have to change if transplant?
Budget 3k - 5k, try to set higher if its really needed.

Can give me any other idea please? which is worth for cost to performance ratio?

Thanks.

If you not really devoted into this car then use the 3-5k as downpayment, switch to another performance ride... you will have to spend a lot in wira to make it driveable...

if u plan to mod it, 3-5k isn't enough. even 4g91 halfcut has gone up in price, that amount will probably allow u to just acquire the halfcut.. there are so much more things u need to take into account when u plan to transplant.

it isnt just buy the halfcut and live happily ever after. i'll give u a scenario.

for example: 5k for 4g91, halfcut only. u will need another 1.5k for labor to get that engine into ur engine bay, another 1-1.5k (maybe) to replace all the wear/tear parts such as timing belt, all the oil seals etc. (this all depends on the condition of ur halfcut) engine oil, oil filter etc etc etc.

then u need to register with JPJ, if u are hardworking perhaps u can do it urself, but i was lazy and i had no time so i paid rm500 to a runner to get it done for me within 2 days. its alot of hassle, u have to go here go there to get this get that.. in the end it will probably take u like 1 months to totally kau tim everything.

on top of that, u need to add additional 1-1.5k for an entire exhaust system, im not entirely sure but i believe 4g91 exhaust piping will be somewhere around 2"? so yeah, u will need new exhaust system also.

so with ur initial 3-5k budget, i believe it will just be enough for a manual conversion for ur current 4g15.. there will definitely be balance as i dont quite know the price, but if u opt this way, u will also need to invest in an entire clutch kit.. pressure plate, clutch etc etc

think wisely =)

Actually I just want to take over people easier and more power to uphill. I cant afford to buy any new and better car for now, have to wait for few years. If have to spend more than the budget to mod my car then rather use it on fuel. I'm looking whether there is some cheaper/worth to mod my car to get more power.

better dun swap to 91 dohc. is slow den 92 sohc. swap for manual. i think campro piston can fit into 15 block. coz 4g18 waja can use gen2 high compression piston. so maybe can fit into 4g15 block oso. rise displacment n compresion ratio is fast patch to rise torque. dun install short intake open pod. is suck in low end.

You can also try BOT, low boost will ensure durability and gurantee enough torque for uphill, price wise i believe around 5k will do... I'm not sure about the supercharge but i believe it's more expensive than BOT... Still i have to remind you that modify it's very troublesome thing, you can change to 2nd hand performance ride which not so expensive and will eventually save a lot more hassle. 2nd hand wira equipped with mivec/gsr/evo minor mod only abt rm20-25k at most:hmmmm:, but the previous owner spent at least 20k while converting, please take into consideration :biggrin:

Hmm... not sure about this but if engine remain the same should be ok lah... That's wat i was told by runner.

But i'm very sure you will definitely kena if lcly in front of cops, normally they won't bother low profile car (almost ori bodykit, almost silent exhaust, almost crystal clear window & etc) so just stay low... : ) saved my ass countless time...

@fstrader:
3speed auto gears same as 5speed manual gears?

my 1st gear 0 - 40~60km/h
2nd gear 40~60km/h - 100~130km/h
3rd gear 100~130km/h - ...

accelerate quite slow from 0 - 40km/h if din rev up to 2.5k - 3.2k rpm.
my previous car can bring me to 80km/h smoothly within 2k rpm and sold it due to the old car service/maintenance issue.

is the fuel consumption same if run at 3k rpm and above on flat road vs incline road?

it all depends on your own taste.

do you want to maintain the same engine or go for a heart transplant?
once you've figured that out. we can help you in more detailed ways.

cheers!

of course there will be slightly higher fc maa cos u want comfort of an auto sure sacrifice some fuel one.

i dunno about the speed i am in cos i seldom look at the kmh meter cos i mostly only see's the rpm meter.

for me rm 65 can get me max 420 km's, mixture of short highway sprints, everyday traffic jams going to work and off fm work.

but of course my ecu edi re-flash laa...so da fc will be a bit better. :biggrin:

Dear Si Fusss,

I hv a stock GSR 1.8T RS engine in my GTI. I am planing to look at the follwoing mods:

I am certain that some of you have done such mods.

GSR 1.8 T std TD04 turbo to Evo 3 turbo TD05-16G.

1) Is the turbo swap plug and play? If not, what needs to be modified?
2) Is the Evo 3 turbo too big for a stock GSR RS? Too much lah? Would an Evo 1 or 2 turbo be a better bet?
2) Any recommendations on the injector size? Some say VR4 450 cc injectors are a...
