hi there,ahren said:escaflown, i want to mod for performance. But as i mentioned previous page that the old 1.3 wira FC rate is 25cent per km which is unreasonably high. I had made some research on the posts here and other forum. The high performance car such as turbo , their FC rate is also 25 cent per KM.
To pay such high petrol fees for underpower performance engine, I rather spend some money to get a better HP engine. My concern here is, among all the high performance engines (4G91,4G91, etc etc ) which 1 least FC?
Sifu sifu here please bear with me.. due to my limited knowledge on the car mod, so i might ask some stupid question here..
cheers
from my recent experience on engine transplant, there is one thing i learn *after* i change the engine.
-- you never change your engine for a higher powered engine just for their "better FC", you transplant them cuz you want power.
some might not agree with what i say, i'll understand, cuz not everyone drives the same as i do. I make a list of reason why i want to replace my pushrod engine, one of them is the new engine gives better FC AND better power, but after the transplant i figure out i need 30 years to earn back from savings from petrol money for my investment.
so.. screw the better FC idea, unless ofcourse you already pay rm1000 a month and you can save like rm300 a month with the new engine.
oh ya, btw, yes i agree with you 4g13 with 25cent/km is outrageous. it should be around 15cent/km, sampled from my mom's daily ride.
about mitsu's engine, if you are not into racing or high performance engine, 4g91 twin cam would be nice IMHO, mitsu sifu around zth already say its not a performance engine, but then it is still an upgrade over the 4g13. You may or may not earn back your investment through the transplant, but the power increase should prove worth while.
just my 2 cent.
--edit--
or maybe its just your engine getting old and dirty, maybe if you overhaul it then it will go back to normal and give good fc like all 4g13 should =P.
