oic..actually i'm very interested to dis engine...planning to get one for my waja, but the problem is, i'm worrired bout the wear n tear parts..since it's from the 6a family, i think most of the parts can be share with 6a12..like u said, the gearbox is the same with perdana v6, which i heard alot of complain.

hermm.. about the gbx u can use good gbx oil to prevent the gbx kong..

yea dat's for sure..but until now i'm still wondering whether can easily get the wear n tear parts like gasket, water pump, timing belt..even my mech couldn't answer me...sigh

2 days ago, my mechanic just pronounce my waja's 1.6 mitsu engine dead. After trying to revive 2 times by overhaul also cannot.
He suggested me to change to another engine. We found 1 halcut which is Mitsubishi 6A11 which is 1.8L V6 SOHC. My mechanic told me that complete total cost for converting is RM6,400 include dashboard.

bro, how much is the halfcut itself? i mean do not include installation.

last time around rm3k with auto gbx.. but r u sure wanna transplant to this engine? how come overhaul ur current engine n ur engine still doesn't work ? kinda weird to me
it is more cheaper n more reliable if u just fully rebuild ur current engine.. wht is ur engine problem actually?

my engine running good..no problem just dat no engine number..i bought dis engine from a malay guy coz my 1st engine's blok already pecah..i only realized dat the engine dun have number during the inspection at puspakom...so the inspection failed..i cant change back to my old engine coz already sold everything..if the 6a11 halfcut 3k with auto gb then it's reasonable price...i know many choices out there but i still prefer v6..since jpj cannot allow 2.0 litre then i just go for 1.8 instead..but i saw ppl selling 5k++ at mudah...kinda pricey

last i heard 6A engines are heavy, but good for cruising.

for V6 engine, service is quite expensive, especially when changing timing belts, which should include other parts like the spark plugs. and the spark plug need the long lasting expensive ones. check the stories for perdana v6 services.

i think cost effective, and good for waja is still 4 cylinder-inline SOHC, to carry the extra waja weight. up to you to choose 1.6 or 1.8, but i can see plenty of 1.8 sohc offers in mudah

yep thks for the advice..i understand bout the service and maintenance cost..but my concern is on those wear n tear parts..coz i can't find someone which is using dis engine..v6 is my choice bcoz i prefer a smooth driving.

go for v6 also . for me i will choose the 6's!

smooth driving also the engine/exhaust sound.. so lovely

silverridge, hav u done the convertion to 6a11?
