i think puttin on a turbo on the campro cps is a good move.. n besides, the tubo on the exora is not meant 2 be 4 absolute horse power gains, i think its more 2wards improving torque n usability on the engine 4 the exora, as we all know theres a lot of complaints bout the exora being underpowered.. so i think this is proton's solution 4 that prob..

besides, its the trend these days 4 car manufacturers.. using small displacement engines but wit forced induction that have the same if not better power output than conventional larger displacement ones.. its especially a big advantage 4 our country where our roadtax is determined by our engine displacement.. so wit this, we get more power, but pay the same roadtax.. so y the complaint???

I agree with that. emm. I think Proton will implement the light pressure turbo, not juz like the turbo in Evo. hmm..sure cannot wait to see the turbocharged Campro CPS engine..

id say get rid of all the normal campro engines n replace em wit cps on the persona, gen2 n saga.. n then for proton's more expensive cars like the exora n the upcoming waja replacement, use this new campro cps turbo instead..

ok, so which one is the female ?

but turbo charged engine incurred higher cost that not everyone would interested for such powered engine
n not guarantee the turbo charged cps engine will hav lower FC also

i wonder what spec would proton turbo engine use
normal internal wif BOT kit n run wif a different map in ecu?
turbo size small like L2? boost 0.4bar?

Well i am not sure bout that. IMO P1? younger, pampered by parents(G).

simply because the exora has not much power to lug 7 passengers + luggage up genting or camerons....

when exora comes with 1.6 cps..ppl say underpowered. when proton tells us bout campro turbo now ppl say higher cost la..higher fc la ...hot engine

I wonder when can we see V8 engines in Proton cars?

dude.. bear in mind that turbocharging the current engine will be an expensive development, as im sure the current campro cps engine have 2 be revised wit strengthening the internal parts n also revising the ecu.. but then again, force inducting the current engine will be cheaper than making a new bigger engine, rite??

FC will definitely be more, theres no doubt bout that.. but if u want more power, sumthin's gotta give, rite?? u cant expect same FC but want more power?? dont think it'll be a big increase too, as im sure sure its some low pressure turbo only..

hahahahahaha love ya statement there dude.. agree a hunderd n one percent!!

wah this proton fella damn aksyen la. if government no longer protect local car manufacturer and level the playing ground, proton sudah mati la cause toyotas and hondas will be at almost the same price levels.

cakap besar saja.

Haha, all they want is a 3.0 engine with a turbo super charger that the FC is like a Kancil.

just what the exora needs... a forced induction engine.

the one who talk at the press is not the one who goyang kaki.. he's the one who build up proton's image currently..

lets c if hes the man with word..

PROTON, that's a GOOD MOVE

to overcome the minus-points of campro, light pressure boost might help.

if proton do have this tech, later they can improve more.
if proton improves, consumer is the one who gain the most!

1.6liter + FI is ok for basic commute.
3.0liter is ok for adrenalin junkies.

an ant's view
Malaysian is capable of making a force induction engine.

a giraffe's view
Malaysian can do what other do.

an eagle's view
I can recognise Malaysia from here, high above!

i believe with LPT fuel consumption would be like a normal 1.8 with the power it needs.

good move from proton!
I guess campro engine are now matured.

this will make proton to be competitive with other car makers, IF proton having SAME / BETTER QC with other car makers.
First n foremost, they should improve / implement sound proof.

if its cps+turbo. then its good

so i guess the new Waja will be based on older generation Lancer..
If they have Exora CPS Turbo, surely they will introduce Satria Neo GTI Turbo as well..

and for some of u who asked about bigger displacement engine from Proton, they will source/collaborate with Petronas, 1.8L to 2.2L E01 family engine.

really?? i thought that idea was scrapped??
