TQVM, bro..

Bro leongsem & dickong, fren sent this to me, he said this is the latest & already executed..

Now they fixed these speed trap version as well.. Hmm.. u guys know la, hard to keep our EB in legal speed

Agree to ur comment on this. The main purpose for 1k mileage service is to avoid any metal sludge from the "virgin
engine" of getting into the piston ring which can cause scratches & damage done can be serious.

Interesting!! Forgot abt doing this.. Now, I remembered doing the 5 point grounding on my ex older car (toyota seg)
years back.. Done on DIY also, using flexible cable for welding & cable lug bought from electrical contractor shop.

Observation:-
1) Smoother acceleration
2) Radio - clarity & radio reception also improved
3) Battery last longer - might differ from car to car

akchang bro, do keep us update if this benefit our EB..

2die4 dude, Sorry to know that yr EB are having such a problem.. Mine is also having the same symptom as yours for #1 & #2.
My OCV valve already changed twice and my CFE is the 1st batch (January batch). Mileage juz passed 9k.. After the second OCV changed, my EB was running fine for about 1.5k km mileage, then the "engine mati" symptom came back once a while... Fortunately, akchang dude reminds me on the grounding project which I had done on
my ex Toyota SEG years back..
Now, I had it DIY on my CFE for 2 weeks already.. As usual, I did 5 important points grounding, which consists :-

*2 points on the body - (important coz proton only did 1 grounding, its mounted to the body, in between the body
& ground wire, there's paint, so i don't know how good the existing grounding are.)

*1 point to the alternator - (important, coz alternator is a generator which generate current to the battery.)

*1 point to the engine - (important, whole engine is sitting on the rubber engine mounting & high current runs to
the spark plugs, so, I dun know how good is the grounding there also)

*1 point on the gearbox - (in between gearbox and the engine, there's a gasket, we dun know how good also)

This is my 2 weeks findings:-

1) Smoother engine - although slight jerking is still there, but has improved. It could be the Punch CVT gearbox
character is like that..
2) So far no engine stalls - could be too early to confirm this, need more time to test.
3) Air-con fan - can feel the efficiency of the fan has improved - slight improvement.
4) Radio reception - slight improved
5) Headlamp light - slight brightness improved
6) Battery - my ex ride T.SEG battery has longer lifespan, although sound system been upgrade with amplifiers, so
not sure about our EB..

Guys, hope this picture can help those who are doing grounding for the first time.. virnorgouki dude, the cable that I
bought is not long enough, but I took the longest one to jumper from gearbox to alternator.. I took approx. 1.5 hour
to complete this project P.S. remember to fix back the original (-) grounding. I bend the bracket a bit so that
the existing negative cable lug can go in..
My next project will be fixing up a voltage stablilizer, after I come back from Taiwan next week...
Happy DIY..

Thx bro, flight is scheduled for tomorrow, worst case, hv to delay loh.. Well, two hrs is not too bad la.. haha.. Do share with us ur findings.. Cheers

2die4 bro, as u can c frm the attached photo, all the points are frm battery, execpt thr alternator ( hence; frm batt to gearbox point n then frm the same point to the alternator).
akchang, thx, but, really i can't thank you enough for reminding us abt the grounding project.. Yuupe, i do think u shouldn't forget abt one important point there, 'the alternator'. This project is so cheap n so worth of trying out.. I bought the wires with printed HKS on it only cost RM12 bucks !! So guys, happy DIY!
Dun forget to feedback if there's any new findings

bro klate, honestly i dun know if this is what proton has overlook on these.. But if u hv yr Toyota Unser grounding done like this, u will also enjoy the different..
My evaluation done is base on the past 2 weeks which was honestly written to u guys & on the third week, my EB is in KL & I'm still in Taipei enjoying the food n scenery
2die4 dude, frankly i dun know if proton kacau or not, if they kacau i also will not remove it, coz this r arguable, its not for any high performance racing, but to help stablilizing the overall circuitry performance..

bro, last time my fren fixed up his old cd player with amp is to another car charges is around RM90 ~ 100, so for this simple one i think sud b around RM20 ~ 50 for workmanship..

Guys, the VS already cost around RM90 (if u know the guy well, might be more cheaper), so, RM120 for the two items r quite resonable..

tbro, tq for yr feedback. u will observed the radio clarity when u balik kampung, where the radio station r further away frm town
And rgding the filter, i do not see why we need to install other filters or some other aftermarket items, coz our EB filter air intake mouth already facing towards the front, hence, the air will rush into the air intake system when we accelerating, isn't tat enough? Juz my opinion, coz i think mendling with the air system will void the warranty, which i think its not worth it..

Hmm, like tat, my opinion is this is troublesome.. moreover we also dun know how good it filter out the dust.. Anyone try this out?? Can share??

Btw, bro virnougouki, i think it is necessary to fix up the VS coz, in normal condition, our car operating voltage voltage varies frm 12 ~ 15v. If VS been installed it will always maintain the voltage to 12v. When accelerate, the most also around 12 point something..

My D4D 2.5 hilux still using mineral engine oil. Changed oil interval every 8~9k KM after the warranty period of 100k km. Now the mileage reads over 300k km liao.. The engine efficiency still maintained, green engine - till now no black smoke, vehicle used daily about 150~200k KM perday.. Very reliable monster...

This is why I used mineral for my CFE also.. No need to waste $$ at this moment for something that can do the same job.. With such high demand & expectation for performance engine nowadays, the engine oil manufacturer are also not far from achieving to the demand..

I did bought the HKS cheap grounding cable RM12 bucks per set only. The different I found was, the cheaper ones has lesser strain of wire, while the much expensive ones have more strains. Before DIY, I try pulling the cable lug out, just to test how strong the cable lug attached to the cable. So, I found two of them came out easily.. Not happy with that, I decided to solder all of them. I did not encounter such a "stone powder wire" shown here.. If it is, then I would not able to solder it..
Pity the poor guy who got cheated

Never use Delo 400 before, how much is it?? Both my D4D turbo diesel is using Castrol mineral oil & the other two petrol driven vehicle also high usage (120~160KM use daily) are using Eneos Mineral oil.. Only my EB CFE is petronas mineral..

Agree with u bro, thks.. now I intend to do grounding on all my vehicle..

Thx dude, appreciate yr help.. Very true abt the Castrol performance drop after few thousand km.. I wouldn't think twice about trying Delo due to this.

As far as I know, my friend kena before on his toyota, normally, after a hard drive & hard braking, soon as u reach home, while the disc is still hot, u wash ur car.. Water flush directly to the rim & disc..

Added on September 21, 2012, 12:19 pmTo me whether the fan turn or not, I'm not bother with that, fan triggers to turn when the system call for.. As long as it served for the purpose & protect our engine, thats the main point.. Frankly I'm kinda like this system!

BTW, after almost 6 weeks of installing the grounding, my EB haven't had and engine die off yet till now.. But jerking is still there..
