Hello

how much does it cost to do a full overhaul on a 850cc kancil??? as well as they say need flush the auto gear box
because i plan to buy a 2nd hand kancil 850cc auto

pls advise thanks

850 auto is the nightmare of nightmares, it's so underpowered it will make u commit suicide (if the high speed traffic doesn't kill u first)

erm so bad ??? so better get a 850cc manual??

Get 1 with a transplanted L2S turbo Mira engine. Might even help you to save fuel even u dun press the accelerator like a mad man.

but alot of ppl told me try not to go kancil turbo...always the turbo KO, then have to take out money to either upgrade the turbo or source same turbo

get kelisa 1.0 auto

KO becuz they did some mod on the engine..if u use all standard from factory, sure ok 1.

been running 1bar with upgraded turbo almost a year.. just running fine.. keep the engine oil up to level and fresh..

but in term of a N/A L2 or L5 not much diff from the 660cc kancil rite?

wht year bro? if kancil lampu bulat version 850 auto is using injection engine.. even if its auto it has better FC compare carb engine..

If want to drive Kancil Auto, buy 850 manual.. get a L2S 12V N/A fuel injection Auto half-cut and transplant everything to your car using back 850 block!

Then you will get L2S 850cc 12V fuel injection engine + 4-speed auto.. (JDM L2S/L5 Mira mostly auto gearbox is 4 speed)

Fuzz free option.. Better buy Kelisa 1.0.. Now below 20k can get very good condition 1..

By the way, i am using L502 turbo kancil.. Already using it for around 4 years no issue also.. Most important is dont mod kau kau & always rajin to maintain the engine oil as turbo OCI is 50% faster compare to N/A engine.. Currently using 10W-40 Semi, changing it every 3500km.. Do you have the discipline & $$$ on maintaining it?

yeah that part no worries , i usually service and top up engine oil always on schedule and check the level every week hehehe

yeah i tot of option for the kelisa but 20k .... not really worth it , better just top up alittle more get a new car hehe

i tot L5 got lots of problems ,the engine by it self also very hard get parts

secondhand value for kelisa is fairly high as its a good car.

I'd take a used kelisa anytime over the kancil.

Mind you the Japanese didnt make these 850cc engines. I'm not sure if it was rebored froma 660cc or sleeved from a 1000cc engine . So... engine isnt japanese. If you observe the 660cc kancil engines, it's got a 'daihatsu' word on the rocker covers

L2s also got lots of problems, when u go c how their owner maintain & mod.. Then u will realize why got so much problem...

Mine mostly original from half-cut.. Almost 4 years engine no issue...

A lot of mechanic i hate to say purposely always urge especially those youth to mod turbo, upgrade here and there.. In the end, the mechanic can earn even more money as the engine always got problem, leak here n there..

By the way, L502 is DOHC 4 piston 16V timing chain engine.. So u have less parts to maintain compare to timing belt engine.. Half-cut are a lot nowadays for L5 compare to L2s, so scare what?
