Hello guys,
I have a Charade Espri with a 1.0L stock engine. I m looking for a suitable engine to change as the current engine does not have enough power when my car is going up hill (my speed drops drastically when accelerating uphill). Anyone have any idea what engine (EFI engines) I can transplant and still meet the JPJ requirement and how much is the cost? Thanks! This post has been edited by mrsenza: Jul 13 2011, 12:30 AM |

QUOTE(vince316 @ Jul 12 2011, 11:46 PM) Probably you can go and overhaul the engine. Overhauling wont increase the engine power, will it? Because i did bring it to a mechanic before, he said no overhauling is needed, but the car is really lagging and feels very heavy when going uphill, as i have mentionedCheaper and no need to worry about JPJ.  |

QUOTE(ThunderGod_Cid @ Jul 13 2011, 01:23 AM) Choices for you : Wow, sifu of charade! Really thanks for your information and advise!!!1. Charade Detomaso 1.6 N/A No issues with JPJ, plug n play including the wiring, dashboard, engine mounts, engine. Fuel consumption not too bad if you drive decently 2. Toyota Starlet 4efte 1.3 TURBO Mountings have to be nice. Wiring all can be matched but not plug n play. Good value for money. Power is there. Fuel consumption better than option 1 if driven off boost 3. Espri 1.3 EFI engine... no point 4. Charade gtti 1.0 turbo - doesnt fit. mountings dont match at all 5. Myvi engine / YRV 1.3turbo - mounting and wiring all hard to match. waste of money 6. Overhaul ur engnine - waste of money. 7. Bolt on turbo... not available for ur carburetor engine. However, the g11 charade model has a Carb Turbo. And not many people in the country actually know how to tune the carb to the turbo. This is suicidal So your best bet will be option 1 or 2. As for option 1, it'll be cheaper to convert. And the car is much more driveable, and comfortable Option 2.. powah Appreciate it bro!  |

Wow, I really appreciate all your replies!
Now the only thing left is the pricing. Does anyone knows the rough estimate of the price for the engines or halfcut mentioned above? I m on a quite tight budget. Thanks! |

Woah, take it easy bros. Dont need to be too heated up discussing
 I appreciate every single advice and feedback you guys have input so far. Btw, Thunder, how much does it cost you and how long to change from the stock 1.0 engine to a dematoso 1.6 engine? What about a starlet engine? which is better for long run? Cause a mechanic here told me that Daihatsu parts are hard to come by, and toyota are easier. Thanks again. Cheers bros!   |

Is it okay to get a 3E-EL31 starlet engine without the turbo and transplant it in the car? full complete set just without the turbo.
Thanks! |
