Proton 4G13/4G15....Satria/Wira/Saga

[Hadi17]

Yes la. K&N sells for "Wira/Satria", they don't say "Wira/Satria 1.3" or "1.5".

I wouldn't buy K&N though. It's expensive and constantly needs oiling. Very mafan

then which one is good, reliable and cheap ? i thought of getting one .. hehe

then which one is good, reliable and cheap ? i thought of getting one .. hehe

I would get anything that isn't metal mesh. Metal mesh is ok also but your engine oil will get dirty faster only. Metal mesh has higher air flow.

I'm personally using the Simota one - cheap and cheerful.

 

[desmond0318]

yea, don't use metal mesh, can't filter dust at all have to clean the throttle body around 1-3 weeks to keep performance optimum..

hi sifus,
got wira a/b 2002 4g13p to upgrade with a current budget of ~RM2k.
need suggestion from all sifus what upgrade can be done.

should i go for aftermarket performance part (eg: hi-cam,etc...)?....what can get with budget above

or should i save more money to go for 1.5L block upgrade?

just want to know which one is worth for money to invest. if just by aftermarket part can achieve same result as change to 1.5L with less investment, sure will go for that.....:tongue:

 

[tofu_manic]

if i were u id go straight for a 1.5 block, best bang for buck...torque increases all over the board

...then start from this as a base

 

[wira02]

so glad still got sifus to drop a comment....
thought this thread dead edi.....

thanks for the recommendation!...

What's the cost for the 1.5L block mod nowadays?....can give estimation?...
if very high...then must save more money from now on........

nasi putih ikan goreng only starting today.....lol

 

[tofu_manic]

did mine so many yrs ago i cant remember haha sorry

urs is carburetted or efi?

 

[wira02]

mine efi (I believe....some people said if the air filter looks like a box /drop in is efi.....lol...sorry...no nothing about engine...just whack on the road only....)

all sifus already done a lot of mod....

me budak baru blaja just wanna start....lol....

RM4k sounds enough in ur opinion?

 

[tofu_manic]

4k sounds pretty good, may be able to do a stroker kit right away

4g15 block + 4g18 crank/pistons

u can try contacting Powerzone to see what they can offer you with a budget of 4k

you'll prolly save more if you source items yourself, provided you have a competent workshop

try pm'ing iszo, his is efi and done up already, can advise you

mine is carburetted so things are simpler haha

 

[wira02]

just now communicated with Pwrzne edi....

but just asking for their suggestion for mod. with budget of RM2k (which actually my current budget right now.....haha)

they quot:

extractor = RM490.00
camshaft = RM1300.00
powercable = RM200.00

the quote including the labour charges edi.......

sounds worth it ar?

owh...iszo the admin from 4G1x group in Facebook right?

 

[tofu_manic]

powercable i think not necessary, bosch plug cables are cheap n cheerful, rm60 or so...change new standard copper plugs too

as for cams, what degree are they recommending u? im using matspeed, i think their regrind ones are cheaper than that...u can contact squirtparts...im using 272 degree matspeed cam, low end of the rpm abit less but nice fatter midrange to top..cipan of squirtparts will be glad to help u

oo totally stock standard ka? yeah at the minimum exhaust and intake first

yep izso is also a moderator here

yup....stock granny one....lol......
hmm, wondering should go for it or wait and save more money for 4g15 block upgrade.....

but my hand itchy edi mau buat....

the powerzone mod. suggestion still can't achieve same result as if 4g15 block mod right?....:hmmmm::hmmmm::hmmmm::hmmmm::hmmmm::hmmmm:

 

[tofu_manic]

a higher profile cam will shift powerband upwards

something like a 4g15 block will add power everywhere

if too itchy...u can do the cam first...and block later...cam can be swapped over

 

[wira02]

owh..u mean the all type of 4g13's cam are compatible to 4g15 right?

its worth to invest on the high cam 1st then....

r u from Malacca?....by any chance u know any xperience tuner/foremen to do engine mod?

mine just a normal foremen with his wokshop is his house. plus he always told me not to mod the car. leave it standard!

"nak bawak laju2 mau pergi mana???"......lol.....

 

[tofu_manic]

yessir cams are interchangeable

nop sorry cant help u there...me from land of hornbill hehe

mau bawa laju laju jimat masa...masa itu emas hehe

 

[wira02]

hehehe....."Sarawak" is it?.....
just pm the powerzone to estimate a price for mod to 4g15 block + stroker:

"block ada surat kedai potong jual RM2k+-
crank 1.6L RM950.00
piston bergantung pada compression RM500 - 2k

re-bore block
honing block
blueprint proses
full overhaul gasket
cleaning proses (chemical)
lapping block
RM3k+-

lain kos tambahan untuk modifikasi performance (option)
- oil squirter
- shot peening
- lightening part (rods,piston set)
- conductif coating
- truswasher support
- high com piston modification
- full balance"

:afraid::afraid::afraid::afraid:

if by calculate base on the highest price each item ~6k++......shock man!

 

[tofu_manic]

donit sked lah haha

get d block urself 1k plus, pistons and crank 1.2k or so (rough estimation, im not sure how much it costs now)...labour 1k plus...all in i think 4k sounds about right or possibly lower

nonid all d fancy stuff although they are nice to have hehe...balancing the whole thing will be good if u can afford it

 

[wira02]

yeah...I believe all the quot. for "high-end" package right?....hahaha

with that kind of amount 6K++ can go for half cut of better engine right?....

4G9x maybe?

 

[okwoks]

just to share, i requested quotation from pz to stroke my 4g15p and estimated price as below

for stroker kit 1.6L (crank & piston) RM2k
engine need to re-bore , balancing & blueprint proses...
total cost RM5k-7k

 

[tofu_manic]

wira02, yeah that depends on what you want...some might wanna stick to 4g1x series and push limits of ori engine, or not, up to u really...it's all in the budget hehe

 

[K_Takuya]

3) powerzone 264

Current Setup 4g15 with :-

- customs 2 inch center pipping with built-in bullet (not sure of this setup)
- back box s-flow (changing to hotbits straight flow back box)

hornbill? sibu or miri?
any good service or mechanic for saga 4g15 8V 1.5 magma? just drove it all the way from sabah. I think carb need tuning. and i'm no expert in that. small small things like pipe change those i can do myself. but tuning is out of my league...

 

[funnymanmk]

hello guys noob here too. got a 4g13 saga carb and want to do a couple of small mods to get better pickup and FC. does anyone have any experience with drop in air filters for these engines? brands ie k&n or redline or hks + shops that sell them + plus any experience with intakes with 4g13 would be damn helpful. or just point me in the right direction would be great too. thanks

 

[kipasa]

try www.speedworks.com.my

go for the knn and the hotbits extractor.

speedworks also has knn cleaning service. cheap

spark plug try bosch super four.

go to a normal exhaust shop and change your center box with a bullet. got extra budget change your back box.

upgrade the front brakes to 1.5 and use mintex or metal king titanium break pads.

have fun.

Just want to mention with better pick up, more power, FC will increase.....

 

[funnymanmk]

thanks for the input guys. i really appreciate it. went to the speedworks website but it seems they dont have any k&n air filters for my car. will try giving them a call later this evening and see what they have. thing is i was only planning on installing the following mods.

1) voltage stabilizer + grounding
2) air intake
3) irridium plugs
4) ignition/ spark plug cables
5) light weight 15" rims

nothing crazy la you know. just enough to get a little more out of the engine without sacrificing FC. i dont need this car to fly like a bat out of hell or anything but it would be nice to have it go to bout 140km without pushing the rpms. any thoughts on best places to purchase the above items or just your input in general would be nice.

possible phase 2 mods (if im feeling like a million bucks la)

1)alluminium radiator
2) light wieght stuff (crank & cam pulleys, con rods )
3) light weight battery
4) light weight fly wheel
5) port polish of course hahaha
6) bigger TB
7) 421 extractor possibly
8) chassis streghtening stuff like struts, bars and such for both upper and lower la

hahaha like i said only if i feel like a million bucks la. anyways im ranting.... but yeah please let me know yeah for the phase 1 stuff. no ones 2 cents is worth no cents

apologize for the spamming but i forgot to mention. i saw this voltage stabilizer in brothers called pivot raizin both blue and purple. any thoughts on it or exp with ppl that have used it? any reccomendations?

 

[vr2turbo]

Get Platinum plugs enough lah! Iridium cost much more but won't give you much more....you know what I mean....

The Pivot sold in brothers, original or not?

hahahaha i have no experience with the plat plugs but i know theres a nice response between the normal and irridium plugs. any diff between the irridium and plat asides the price hahaha.

also im not sure if its ori or not. i went to the pivot site to check out how to tell fakes but i havent tested it yet. i know brothers also carries the hks stabilizers. any reccomendations chief?

As far as I know, Iridium are more long lasting than normal plugs, slightly longer then Platinum, but price wise a lot more. For my turbo, my club mechanic fitted platinum for me as they cost around RM50 only, Iridium is like 3 times more. To me they work the same. Just get the right heat range.

There are many VS around, many brands also. Have tried them, and for me better lights, meaning like flicker and slightly better audio that is all. Mine is Pivot blue for battery and I got them from N1 Racing
