sighs,my waja's acting weird.the engine's dead whenever i step on the pedal or i switch on the air cond after i start my car . have to wait for like 10 minutes.
and the fuel consumption is killing me.0.22 cents per km.and it feels like dying already.no power...whenever i step on pedal,the only way it'll move is it'll go back down to gear 2 and rev.zzz.there goes my petrol.

Original Waja engine tuning from Proton is heavy on FC. Go tune ur engine by good tuners.

My waja only RM0.16-0.17 per km, tuned long time ago, when i tune tat time the tuner person told me its a waste petrol tuning, after he tune, i got more power n save more petrol, coz using petrol efficiently.

Before tune - 60 liters = 600km
After tuning - 60 liters = 670km (currently at 630-640 need to tune again)

And one more thing, drive around 80-100kmph is the most save petrol for Waja, i hav tried many times. Step on the pedal lighly n Waja can drive at 90-100 no prob. If u step hard, ur tuning will run away n FC will go up higher. Try keep ur RPM below 3k, good for FC n good for engine reliablity. More than tat, u risk frying ur engine.

After all, its still a proton car. If u wan to hear alot more complains, i hav alot to type.

Wow,its only 16 cents for the price of fuel now?

How much does it cost to tune ur car?Where do u normally tune it?Can intro me a guy who can tune cars?


If i hit pedal hard the tuning will run? Normally i hit til 110 then stop,sometimes 130...

Sorry guys for the late reply. First, my uncles fren sold his tuner thingy and dun ever go to proton edar to tune.

Secondly, all Waja petrol tank is 60 liters (read the waja specs). When u refill of coz u dun reach 60 liters coz u cant finish ur petrol n go pump rite? Heres the formular I use to count for 60 liters how much my car can go.

60 liter petrol = RM1.92 x 60 = RM115.2 (Really from no petrol to full)
1 tank distance = 630km (my current car usage)
$ per km = 115.2 / 630 = RM0.18++ (0.17 when my tuning is better last time)

Now i'll teach u how to get ur cars 60liter km usage. Example u pump ur petrol when the lamp is on n u hav travel lets say 500km n pump 50 liters of petrol

50 liters = 500km
60 liters = w km

so 500 x 60 = 50 x w (remember ur form 4/5 maths?)
end is w = 500 x 60 / 50 = 600km (for 60 liter petrol)

Lastly, yes i can go 600+ in city driving (used to), since my tuning alr out abit i pump my petrol when i hit 570km or so. The waja low petrol lamp hits when u hav around 100-150km worth of petrol left. How to know how much petrol? Easy, 60 liters minus the petrol u pump in till full tank n u know how to count how many more kms u can run b4 reaching 0 liter.

PS Stepping hard means hitting high RPM not high speed, at 3k rpm its around 110kmph alr, do not hit more than 3k rpm b4 u reach 110kmph coz it'll increase ur petrol consumption. I mostly switch gears around 2.5k rpm n yes i m driving an auto gear box and there is a way to do gear switching for waja auto.

If anyone wants to know more or hav some doubt or u think i m wrong plz msg me or post here. I'll reply when i c some respond. Have a nice day counting ^-^

How can u reach 110kmh without hitting 3k rpm?unless ure going downhill but how often do u go downhills?

Any other suggestion on where to tune? u said after tuning can increase hoserpower and better FC.

Whats the cost of tuning in the market?
