my vote for the engine mount is blue box.

for under 25% cc upgrade, your application is considered Kategori 2. Need time for approval (2-4weeks)
For SAME engine model/cc i 'think' can approved immediately after background check of your car. Kat. 1.

for above 25% cc upgrade is Kategori 3. Need to wait even longer than Kat 2.
My friend waited a few months for upgrade from 1.3 -> 1.8 Turbo.

update: yesterday I went to PutraJaya to do the endorsement thingy...
now waiting for a 'Pass' hope it turns out alright if not my car kantoi liao.

Ok guys finally my engine change has been approved and noted by JPJ.
The procedure and hassle is one of the most incredible I've ever come across even from the Government.

If you guys need some detailed info pls PM or wait for my complete n00b guide to legal engine change.

Just a side note. I did have to 'pay' someone to get it done.

Among others, you can cheat, steal, rob and murder, as long as you don't get caught you won't be punished.

A mitsu engine (compatible one) like 4g63, 4Gxx can usually fit into an iswara. As long as you don't exceed the 25% CC upgrade it should be routine. It is not expensive (cost me RM200 total).

Ever wonder if you need to sell the car? With an illegal engine inside you can forget it.

What kind of friend advises you to break the law anyway?
