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???

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..

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!!

really?? i thought that idea was scrapped??

haha.. u mean he bought a neo??

btw, wat did he condemn bout campro??

im sure thats the kinda figure we should be expecting when when the turbocharged exora comes out.. 150hp, but more improtantly 240Nm of torque, thats a nice slug of torque!! provided that its delivered in one nice flat curve.. looks kinda messy, im also sure that the production version will be much neater than this

i agree.. it looks mean n agressive, nice!!

too bad proton dont have the needed funding 2 bring this into production..

at the moment, i dont see the chances that proton will be investing on that v6 anytime soon r very big..

y i said so..?? think bout it, proton these days r concentrating 2wards making cheaper smaller cars (coz essentially, this is wat people want these days, or more appropriately, its wat people r able 2 afford these days).. if they were 2 make this v6, the only logical sense is 2 put it in a car the size of perdana or maybe the waja.. both of which r classes of cars that people r currently buying less n less.. as we all know, the waja n perdana r soon 2 be phased out (bout time too, especially 4 the perdana, its a nearly 20yr old design 4 heaven sake!!).. its very unlikely that a lot of people would wanna buy a new waja or perdana even if it has this awesome v6 in it.. the only way i see that would make sense 4 proton 2 further development on this engine if they were 2 make a new waja or a new perdana, which means more money is needed.. so i dont think it makes financial sense at the moment 4 proton 2 put a green light on the development on this engine.. i think proton r on the right track at the moment, improving the current campro engines that is infamous 4 all sorts of major flaws.. i think proton should take this further, they should bring the campro back 2 the drawing board, study its problems, improve it, make it more efficient, more economical, more modern, more reliable.. coz this is the only engine that proton r using for all its new cars now, n its been gettin lots of complaints..

but like u said though, itll be a shame if this v6 were 2 remain a prototype..

yeah.. i also think that if the exora turbo were 2 come out next yr, the normal exora cps will still be offered.. mind u, surely the turbo version will be more expensive, n proton will surely make it look more sporty inside n outside.. me already imagining exora wit sporty bodykits

yup, something like that.. but this is only my prediction, dont know wether its really gonna be like that or not.. that said, i very much doubt that proton will completely replace the cps wit turbo campro's.. coz if they did, current exora owners will surely be cross!!

i can imagine already an evora fitted wit bodykit, sumthin like the prime concept.. sporty kit, wit turbocharged engine, in an mpv

as ive said b4, im sure this turbocharged campro is not juz a normal campro wit a bolt on turbo.. 4 sure proton is gonna reinforced the internal parts so it'll be suitable 4 force induction..
