BOT as in Bolt-On Turbo?FC will be very bad with turbo on,right?

Of course. More power=more fuel. But then, the hp increase will make up for that rather than doing all other mods you mentioned. And with more power you will also go lighter on the throttle (maybe the FC will not be so bad).

instead of going for turbo kit, aren't it more feasible to spend that money on engine transplant?  hmm.gif
there is a limit on on 4g18 mods. mivec engine should give more tweaking option.... just my 2c.  icon_rolleyes.gif

btw, about the ron 95 talk, shell and petronas' sux' big time.
bhp offer more bang for bucks. better acceleration and more mileage. but check out the throttle body more often.
*
True..but it will cost more to do transplant, plus other hidden cost such as changing wear n tar parts, endorsement, etc.. The 4g18 is atleast your engine and should be fine if u take good care of it before.

Nope , intially thought of taking out the cat-converter and replaced with a Mid Box but then I were going to Pavillion that day and it's pretty late when I came back.
I got my drop in for three hundred bucks. The 275-300 is for drop in filter. Not really sure about open pod though , must be the same with Drop in filter but considering the cost for CAI hose and heat sheild , you'll spend extra hundred to two hundred at least.

It's recommended to get the K&N , feels so light after I changed mine. drool.gif

You could get it cheaper at the automotive garage section, below 250.

hello guys. my car broke down so i borrow my mum's waja. 1st batch with mitsu engine.

would like to ask sm questions for quick answer.

1: 500km half tank consider heavy footer?
2: full tank can fill how many liter?
3: normally full tank can go how far?

tq. smile.gif
*
Just wanted you to know that for Waja, the relation between the gauge needle and the actual fuel remaining inside the tank are:

4/4 (F) -> 100%
3/4 ->50%
2/4 ->25%
1/4->10%

p/s: its not linear.

do u think it can be alignment even we did not change the screw chamber.. i have no choice cause my front old tyres worn out from inside.. they told me it cant be alignment to correct position unless i change the screw..
*
Then better go to other shop. Alignment doesn't need to adjust camber. It just to make sure the tyre are pointing straight.

mine auto can go around 500km++...with few times of 6000rpm and 120-150km.... try using thinner oil like 10w40/semi-syn. (mobil,enoes,Q8..ETC).change ur air filter,sparkplugs,pump the tires around 230kpa (front) 210kpa (rear), set the aircond temperature to half as if u put full the compressor will operate most of the time......etc
*
Hmmm... my aircond always at minimum except when I need too cool down the car faster. Even at minimum, its so cold when its raining that I need to wear a sweater. thumbup.gif

guys anyone dealt with these two ppl in lyn for air filters before? user "after12" and "gjrforce" cos they're quoting me for k&n filter 275 or less.

i think after12 provides cod service and im considering buying from him. but i dont hear alot from him, where as kangyoon send his goods via postal
*
I've bought mine from kangyoon. Although he sent me the wrong one because I've wrongly stated the model (he sent me the Waja Campro ver instead the Waja CPS), he exchange it without any problem.

yeah using a tripmeter is more accurate.. normally will fill up when reach 550~600km and re-set the trip.

btw 1 question here, i'm still stick to ron97 but sometime when fill up at petronas only ron95 available. is that ok for my engine if i use 95&97 alternately? using ron95 my gearbox seem sluggish that's why i try to only use 97.
*
No problem. 1/2 tank of 97+1/2 tank of 95=full tank of 96. nod.gif

bro i think you should actually take the amount of RM u pumped in point number 1 and divide the reading on the trip meter when you fill up at the gas station after your tank finishes.
*
swk_sam method is correct. But I think 1 point need to be added. Fill up until it 'auto-stop' for both fuelling step (step 1 & 4).


Added on November 3, 2009, 6:51 pmActually, you don't have to wait until the warning light turn on, can re-fill at any time you like.

Better refill it when light is up for 1st time to cos more accurate. Then the normal time u can even refill it when left 1/4 & compare to full tank mileage.
*
To get better accuracy, its always better to do smaller but more sampling and then average out the result rather than one big sample. nod.gif

i am not quite sure about this, maybe just urban myths. it's good to always fill-up your tank anyway, when the needle is at 1/4. anyone opened their fuel-pump and verify it's because of late pumpings?

anyway for me i'll take care of the fuel-filter frequently ... at least every 30k or so.
*
I think its true since less petrol in the tank will cause more being evaporates into fumes. But at the same time, driving with a full tank is heavy... sweat.gif
