how to see your head unit version:
1. press and hold "Setup".
2. turn the "right knob" (which u use to zoom in and zoom out map)
2.1 turn left once.
2.2. turn right once.
2.3 turn left once.
3. then u will see the version number and other settings...

As at today, 09/10/2012, a group of unknown entity has invaded our PREVOC FB and removed all the Original CM (i.e. WhiTe LiGhTer, FenomX, Me, Red Flame, VigneszMK, Marquis, Besz137) from being a Mod/Admin there.

It's still early to tell who is responsible for this coup de' tat but please, we would just to inform you guys here starting from this moment, what ever actions or announcements posted in FB is no longer associated with us, the original Initiator of this Club.

Please refrain from posting there as we donno how will it be treated as we do not know who's entity are we dealing with now.

NOTE: "Kumpulan Penyelaras I & Kumpulan Penyelaras II" is NOT FROM US.

Thank you

i just answer the 1st part coz the others already answered by the forumers here. 1st of all, since prtn only has 1 engine based(actually using others have probs, not only on tuning part, warranty n trouble shooting, thats why, if something happened to outsourced engine, need to consult them coz if prtn doing it at its own, warranty will be void, n if they, the outsourced party said, no, our engine@even trans dont have this probs, then,nothing can be done, same as savvy case, perdana n even some inspira case,its quite tedious actually), an its 1.3 n 1.6. If everybody notice, previously, prtn try to follow the japs way, means using japs components, but it seems, not only hard to get the latest one, even getting the inferior. They r quite stingy i must say since prtn is a manufacturer,has the capability. But its not wrong for them to protect their intelectual property.

So, taking other route,same as others do, downsizing n turbo charge it. The benefit of low inertia turbo will be apparents when load is consider n hilly road condtition coz its produce generous amount of torque at low rpm. Even compare to 2.0l engine, u need to work the engine hard to get enough torque coz its achieving high torque at high rpm.

Of course u can make the best by implying so much tech into one engine, but the problem is cost. While vw utilising its 1.2 n 1.4 engines across its products n ford 1.0 also will make appearance in focus or even maybe mondeo,its not only due to emmision cntrl, but also to cover the cost of developing such high tech engine.

While they r making millions unit sold for each product, compare to prtn,its not a viable option coz the diff in sales is big. So, what prtn try to do is doing the best within all limitations interm of cost, economy of scales n etc..

Added on October 27, 2012, 12:15 pmthe aim for cfe is for comfortble drive. Take for example, inspira 2.0, full load, preve cfe, full load,(both with same load capacity) just rev both car at 2k rpm only, drive both up to speed 100kmh with the same rpm,then u will notice the diff. Initial move maybe a bit laggy since cvt in cfe using clutch, inspira using torque converter, but after the clutch fully closed, then u'll see the diff(u can avoid the lag by using handbrake by the way)

one more thing mr gk lai, in layman words, if talking about how much torque u need for driving comparing turbo vs na, if ur turbo engine achieve full torque as in cfe at 2k rpm, while the others need to rev until beyond 4k rpm to have it, if u drive na 2.0, rev until beyond 4k rpm to achieve its full torque everyday, n cfe, driving at 2k rpm everyday, then compare the fc, then u will see its not really bad for any low turbocharge car interm of fc if u look that way as comparison.

Same as daily driving, how much torque do u need to drive in town(of course, hp also another factor coz it effect the speed kmh). For me atleast, i dont see full torque is much needed for single driver for daily driving. Thats why rev to 2k rpm is not much needed. Same as driving 2.0 na car, dont need to drive beyond 4k rpm for daily driving coz not much torque needed.

Read my previous post on cvt software programs n strategies n why u dont feel as much torque as stated in the torque graph due to torque reduction below 1.6k rpm to facilitate crawl movement coz if giving full torque, its hard to control during crawling situation due to cvt, while fixed ratio has limits on each gear ratio in speed. For example, in fixed ratio, 1st gear, at 1.7k, the speed is less than 20kmh, but in cvt,its diff,it can be 60kmh@even 80kmh,so, without the strategies, it would be hard to control cvt manner,thats why they implement the strategy.

Driving manual cfe is a diff story though coz u can feel on how really the torque generated n increasing during the rev. Even its not the same as real manual gbox, but u can test it by using manual mode my moving the stick to the left, n u can see how easy@fast the rev climb to 2k rpm for each gear.

But the diff still apparent for manual gbox though coz u downshift  and upshift according to ur own will, but for cvt manual mode cfe, it has its own minimum/maximum set of downshift n upshift pattern to protect the cvt gbox.

Thats why some still may prefer manual cog even dct/amt/cvt/at can provide manual override :-).

creative :-), but make sure u cover it when washing the engine bay coz i saw u drill a hole overthere. Just in case though. U dont want any water to slip inside the fuse box. I know its rare, but who knows, things can happen. Better be safe than sorry.

N please remember to unplug it during service, u dont want it to be observed n noted by the sc :-). I dont know the product, but from what i read here, it seems has its own advantage.
