so just do engine check first...(engine oil change,compression test,timing check)


then....if all in good condition then we can discuss more on engine mods

Make Wira 1.3 faster? Auto or manual? If auto, convert to manual. Better power, better fuel consumption too.

1.3 heavy wira 200+kmh!?!?
how long did that take...... imo better check gps speed reading
if it got to 200 fast, probably lots of things done to it

the car only cost you 5k after all, engine might be tired

First of all let's talk your car.

5k means it's at least 10 years old. Manual or Auto? If auto don't expect much from your car. If manual, then the short gear ratios for the 1.3 makes it good acceleration, but low top end power. So again - don't expect too much.

Rim size 16" - unless you're using ultra light weight rims, this is a big problem. Most Taiwanese or unknown brand 16" rims are heavy mofos. Down size to light weight 15" like the Advanti Storm series rims (4.6kg per rim only yo!) and go with 195/50/15 tyres. Since it's a 1.3, that means it's not the special edition which comes with stock 16" rims and I'm guessing you're on 205/45/16 profile. Which means your speedo isn't reading correctly. Stock 1.3 should be 185/60/14 and since you're on 205/45/16, it means the speedo is actually slower by 2.3%. Which means when you see 130km/h on the speedo, you're actually going about 133km/h.

Anyway, lighten the rims and you'll have less unsprung weight which'll make a helluva difference.

Then since it's an old car you need to work on repairing the engine. I'm sure it needs a top overhaul, better engine oil, gearbox oil, exhaust headers, etc.

A 1.3 cannot be that slow unless it has a problem.



Secondly, your friends 1.3. His speedo rosak la. For a stock 1.3 to reach 100km/h (zero to hundred... get it?) the timing should be like 10-13 seconds. For it to reach 160km/h should be 25-40 seconds. For it to reach 200km/h it needs back wind and a piggy back from a Lamborghini. If he's modded it, it's probably no longer a 1.3. I'mma betting he plonked in a 4G93 1.8. Turbo or not, that engine can propel a Wira to 200km/h easily in stock form.. but in a few seconds.. 0 to 200km/h... no. For a supercar to get from 0 to 200km/h needs a couple of seconds. Are you telling me your friends car is as fast as a supercar? :adore:


Can I also ask - how old are you?

in the place where I stay and work. for 24/7, I could hardly drive at 100km/hr. Not that I can't but no chance due to traffic volume and condition.

200km/hr+ speed could be bragging rights for some, but totally useless to me.

Of course not legal! :rofl: Max speed limits everywhere is only a bloody slow 110kph what! But that doesn't mean the roads actually cannot cater to speeds above 130kph.

Yup, top speed is overrated, acceleration is the key.

if you want to reach 200++ on stock... forget it.. even manual last time 1st batch all ori just mod the exhaust max also reach 180+ a bit...

Even light weight Iswara 1.3 all ori also reached 180+ a bit...

Except the car got some mod on the cab and exhaust.. but the duration to reach... sleep off liao...

Brother, although now petrol is cheap but your life and summons is not cheap d.. think of your love ones...

1.3 Wira and Iswara ori drive 180 above put wings can fly liao man:driver: like Milo Tin you know...

Simply tekan the pedal to reach 200km/hr might be nice, syoik even.........but think oso about stopping the car in time.

Many ppl only think about top speed, add more and more power to their car....but stopping power (braking system) is seldom considered, until accident happened.

i be honest... if you wanted that... you should have looked for a unit which had already been swapped @_@ less of a hassle and it would probably have cost you almost the same amount

Im using A31 RB20E, im was thinking to do engine swaps, to RB20DET. But it's useless to drive Such a Fast car at my hometown , Sandakan, Sabah. Because the roads are not long enough and bumpy. SO usually cars over there would like to have better acceleration. And i was told that Single Cam has better acceleration than Twin Cams. Is this true?

Is there anything i can do to make the acceleration go higher, things like piping and other stuffs? need advices... And im driving Auto, which i...
