i was using 1.5auto until i convert my engine. yes, the 3 speed auto gearbox is shitty.. in terms of mileage is bad too. my top speed with this gearbox is 165kmh.
if you're planning to convert it from manual to auto. better find a 4 speed gearbox, of coz need the seller to give u some warranty period to test out the gearbox. (4 speed gearbox, many ppl spoilt it because they pour in unsuitable ATF grade of oil)..
3 speed gearbox can use normal ATF (decron III) but u will suffer on the mileage lo..
for choosing ATF fluid, i suggest to get toyota ATF IV (if i remember correctly).

when you do this conversion, i think you will need to take your car to puspakom for inspection, and then to jpj to update it into your geran (also your bank/insurance also need to be informed and updated)

just one thing... 1.3 really underpower for taking the load of wira... it will drink petrol more than 1.5, i think, 1.6 got better mileage than 1.5
(info from my friend who is driving 1.3wira)

change the whole gearbox.. between 1k to 2k.

it's a recon gearbox.
performance.. im not really sure.. i only know ppl commented that the mileage (FC) and response is better than 3-speed auto gearbox. how long to change ah... i think 1 day..

the agent got do de kua... im not so sure since, i myself never done transmission conversion except engine conversion. my engine endorsement, i do myself de.

if i remember correctly.. 4g13, 4g15, 4g9x.. their gearbox, auto or manual, all interchangeable.
so 1.3wira can fit in 3speed or 4speed.
as i said.. 1.3 is really underpowered. even it's manual, the FC is still bad. you will expect more worse FC after you fit in the auto gearbox.
i personally thinks 4 speed has better FC than 3speed on highway. gearbox doesnt tarik the power, rather, they have influence on how well the power is transmitted.

the best solution? well.. it depends on your budget eh... if for me, i will certainly go for 4speed gearbox.

you need the change the whole gearbox. what i meant was, even though you're 1.3 version, but you still can use the gearbox from 1.6 version either manual/auto.

you're welcome.

hmm.. PWC seems to have quiet down alot... where are the noisy ones??

haha.. mostly dunno how.. i bought the FICD from halfcut. went to accessories shop, and instruct them how to install it.. (coz i dun have the equipments and the experience of finding the compressor relays)

refer to this
easy to understand...

850 go to 660, sure pick up is lessen ah..
1.6fc is good is not only because of 4speed gearbox. but also the higher power output.
my current 93t manual has better FC than my 4g15auto. so, i believe higher power output does contribute to better FC when power output is sufficient to bring the car moving smoothly.

in my opinion, 1.3 got insufficient hp to move wira around (although proton may say that smaller cc will save more fuel) but this isnt the case. as more higher rev is to get car moving, hence you press more, and then fuel goes in more loh.. im not sure whose gearbox ratio is longer, but the shorter the better ler.. can upshift faster, and maintain lower rpm. (higher rev, eats petrol.. logic thinking)

Added on September 5, 2010, 2:27 pmif you get the material yourself, you will save some bucks.. i usually go around and buy parts myself. along the way, youw ill learn something, and also the pricing ma..
the hose can get from spareparts shop.. and the hose clamps too.. the t-joints too.. for the size of the clamps, hose, joints, you need to open up your engine bonnet and inspect... (cause mine is very big.. dunno why..)
the toyota FICD, get it from halfcut shops.

for the wiring and filter, can just get it from the accessories workshop (i did that), i dont like doing wiring in a mechanic workshop.. because.. their way of making the connections.. is ugly... i like the way accessories shop do things neatly with the wires.

any wira or mitsubishi 4g9x series de gearbox can be fitted in. as i already said, 4-speed gearbox performs better in FC.
pick up and top speed... i dunno lo.. try and wait if there are some fellow 1.3heroes here who can contribute their experience in this.

abide the law. go and endorse.

my own understanding of the oil viscosity is like this.
20w = thick oil , for engine that consumes engine oil
then 0w = thin oil, for those who wants more roar from engine. and better FC.

40 = the max temp that the oil can maintain its viscosity, normally NA engine can use this.
50 = higher max temp, for high rev engine, or turbocharged.

i wanted to!!!
but currently on 'eco' mode, so, using 15w-50, mineral based, change every 3k++
why chaf? you got cheap 10w-60???

V99 bylon (semi syn)10w-60.. rm150
Castrol Edge (full syn)10w-60 rm150
the price is around there la.. forgot bout the actual price liao..
now only rm50 for pennzoil 15w-50

you can get agip 10w-60 for rm150???
sure mah? can keep stock liao lo

what's your service interval? your engine is?
