Well....for afr i got vacuum gauge to check on my reading so its easier but also have to trial and error + testing after tuning to suite ur driving style.....my aircon off screw i set to 900rpm while my aircon on i set to 1000rpm.....but u will suffer from loss of power when ur aircon compressor kick in so its up to u to decide(i seldom use aircon so its no prob for me

)
vacuum gauge is not to check ur AFR laa...
vacuum gauge is to check ur intake manifold pressure...

Hi Sifus. Need help here on my 2003 iswara. The problem relates to handling.
It started recently when i drive from penang to KL. The best way to describe the problem maybe: the handling feels weird, response when cornering not like normal car. It is most obivious when driving above 90kmh and overtaking a car; feels like the car is out of control. Feels like slow response from steering, or an oversteer. What is the most probable reason?
few infos:
1) The steering had been changed to power steering in 2008. Was good back then, only minor leaking.
2) The abs are rojak. Front is std lmst (gas), rear is std iswara (oil).. or the opposite. I cant remember. Same with the coils.
3) Alignment is OK. Checked with a trusty alignment workshop. The shop did check a bit, and said the rear axel is not ok. I saw the rubber seal have oil leakage. But the shop didnt seem confident, and said cant do it that day coz got 2 cars overhaul. Repair cost almost RM300 btw.
So based on the infos, what is possible problem? What should i check so that i wont waste money repairing unrelated issue(s)?
Any trusty workshop to recommend area puchong/kajang/serdang/bangi? Might want to change clutch, and maybe some tuning also at the same time. If all OK and still got extra budget, might interested to performance upgrade to improve comfort/safety (no idea yet).
Thanks a bunch.
check all 4 tyres for correct tyre pressure... check if all 4 tyres got thread or not...
check front and rear absorber see if they are working or dead (damaged/leaking)...
check wheel alignment as well as camber setting...
check front lower arm bushing and rear trailing arm bushing....

Bro,hw to check gb oil?there is no stick oh....any instruction to check?

there's a bolt size 14 or 17 (cannot remember) just below the linkage selector... remove it and stick ur finger inside... if u can touch the oil means sufficient... if not, pls top up with extra gear oil...

1. stroker kit means using 1.3 block with 1.5 piston?
2. plonking in 1.5 block means swap 4g13 engine to 4g15?
1. stroker kit consist of crankshaft, conrods and pistons... it is meant to increase an engine displacement by increasing the bore and stroke size... there are tonnes of stroker kit out there for various types of engine.... for example, evo 2.2L stroker kit and so on.... for 4g15, we can use stroker kit from 4g18 engine... to use 4g15 stroker kit in 4g13 is dangerous as 4g13 cylinder block wall is quite thin to begin with...

is proton iswara origional extrator is 4-2-1?
If let say I want to mod from ori setup, 4-2-1 extrator , stright tru mid box then exhaust pipe, what the different between s-flow and strightflow?
I need low end and mid range power most of the time.
Need recomendation for shop in sunway.
original proton iswara 4-2-1 header looks like this... its also called cast exhaust manifold...

aftermarket 4-2-1 extractor looks like this...

notice the difference between both 4-2-1 extractor??... 4-2-1 is just the configuration... piping size and length is what matters....
as for muffler.... inside of an s-flow muffler looks like this...

while straight flow muffler looks like this...

low and mid-range torque... stock exhaust is the best...

oh yeah, is there any short shifter available for our car? price around how much?
i got sell... interested PM me...
QUOTE(fleekreturn @ May 10 2011, 12:09 AM)
If im not mistaken, aftermarket shifter only shorten the gear between 1-2 and 3-4 only. Others remain the same. I custom made mine with 1 sic fellow. Damn nice. 1-2-3-4-5-R all shorten. Unlike our stock shift. Huhu
customed by jenal??.. dat one really sifu... his work place equipped with proper machinery as well...
