Yesterday I have the chance to drive a Exora 1.6 CPS Auto due to work related and fetching 7 ppl (including me) in it. From standstill to 60km/h I feel the car is sluggish and no power at all, seriously it is very hard to move the car but after exceeding rpm 3.5k the car have more power (maybe there is where the power come in ?). So my experience was driving Exora was not good, in fact terrible even after I drop some of the worker (left 4 person in the car).
After reaching back to office, I drive my FL and for the first time I feel my car has all the power it has to move and accelerate especially when IAFM kicked in. Love it every single bit then~
I have no offense to any Exora owner here and sorry if you guys get offended. I was no meant to bring out a fight here ya. What I would like to expressed is that, why can't Proton fit in IAFM into the 1.6 CPS in Exora? maybe just 1.6 CPS + IAFM and the CFE version? I bet this would be a great car as the exora which fitted with IAFM would not suffer the so called "torque dip" in the range of 2k -3.5k rpm zone?
I am started to like my car more and more after my experience with Exora hahaha..feel like IAFM is acting like a TURBO ..LOL (ok that is exaggerate

)
The Campro CPS has already eliminated the torque dip, it has a VIM component which works like the IAFM.
The problem is 1.6l is too puny for the Exora, plain and simple. You mentioned you feel more power above 3.5k, that's because the CPS "opens" at 4k RPM, where the intake valve lifts higher to take in more air-fuel, thus providing more power at the expense of higher fuel consumption.
As mentioned, the CPS already has VIM, so you can't install an IAFM. If you plonk in a IAFM 1.6l like the Persona engine into the Exora, it'll be even worse.
