Oh dude, if u don't even know what PDT is, you don't even have any right to comment on the Campro. doh.gif

PDT stands for Proton Diagnostic Tool which is used to check all the error logged in the ECU (and yes, Gen2 logged all the error to the ECU, including the Door Ajar sensor)

Until I have a proper conenction to internet from my house, I can hardly have any access to internet. My access to internet is very restricted and it's impossible for me to upload any attachment currently.

VTEC? oh pal, B16x series engine is designed as a performance engine in mind, while campro S4PH found in GEN2 & WAJA is designed to be a Thermal efficient, cost efficient and Green engine which exceed Euro 4 emmission standard in mind. I won't mind to tell you that Campro series design can be modified to a more powerful engine without deploying any CPS technology.

The near flat torque curve i mentioned is between 2500 to 5500rpm before the torque started to drop below 80% peak. From what I understand from proton, The result is achieved by deploying VIM and electronic throttle body control which work similar way in the Civic 2006.

I'm not bashing City, but after tried most of the cars in similar price range from 50k to 100k (as those car actually same class in terms of engine capacity and type) for nearly 2 weeks, the Gen2 wins for me for superb handing and good power on wider rpm range. the City VTEC maybe better, but the i-DSi cannot even match with the Gen2 on all these. the only thing that City surpass the Gen2 for both i-DSi and VTEC is the smooth gearbox (but again, I liked manual transmission more...) and the great turning raduis. the cabin? for me Gen2 better, as mine is dual tone colored (black & beige) quality is almost the same.

Vios? Aveo? they're all not satisfactory to me. at least the test drive unit they provide is poorly built. and I have had enough with the Toyota Fiasco previously.

i've sat inside gen2 and inside city 2006 model.
the gen 2 is definitely crap if u wanan compare to city interiors.
city alto look small..but its freaking comfortable. the gen2, well the seats are too hard for my ass...and the dashboard plastic's is a sight that i cant stand.....even the steering feels plasticky.


honestly, city beats teh gen2 in every single position apart from price point

yeah, me too... waiting for the *130bhp 1.6L campro.. and *155bhp R3 tuned campro..
*with CPS and VIM. (heard somewhere)

R3 does not have the CPS ver. Campro YET. and this statement valid by the time is posted.

but 130bhp Campro with VVT might be installed on SRM. and they're planning a 1.8 Campro Turbo for SRM.

it's weird then. you're commenting on normal Ver? and um....i would have to agree that the steering feels fragile..... but the wholedashboard, door trim are well decorated. and it feels better and mode solid that the City. The city, got once i seen the panel moving when the window is winding up........ doh.gif

Mine is HL, using leather seat and so far anyone hoped into my ride on it also commenting the improvement made by proton.

maybe normal very is still bad?>????

Why do I not have the right to comment on Proton if I do not know what PDT is? Do you know what is a BDT? Or HTAS? Do you need to know those acronyms to be able to understand what things are? You said your PDT shows something that resembles a VIM. Do you need a PDT to actually know if there's a VIM inside the car? I believe that's a simple enough question, any idiot with the barest understanding of the intake manifold can point out a VIM if he sees one. So tell me, where is the VIM on the Gen2?

Seriously, do proof your point on the campro having VIM. I would love to be proven wrong. And btw, a flat torque curve is what makes daily driving sustainable. The dyno chart of the Gen2 clearly shows that it requires high revs to make the most of its power. Not to mention the power dip after 2500 rpm. So how is this "designed with fuel economy and daily driving in mind"?

Again I have to reiterate, maybe you got a nice engine, one of the few that happens to have been better built than the others. But the official charts, and countless driver reviews, seems to go against your solo (minority) claim as to campro having a flat torque curve. Seems that was more of luck than any credible engineering.

I have to second on cockerish's comments on Gen2 having a bad interior. Compared relatively to the cars in the same class, Gen2's interior is not up to the standard. I've sat in a Gen2 several times, and I do not fancy its panels. My credit goes to city if you want to talk about interior terms.

Err if my sources are correct its a kleeman compressor (supercharger), not a turbo on the SRM GTi.

Should be enough. But the torque is what I'm worried about.

Turbos won't be reliable. Superchargers are easier to control, plus a chance of getting a better FC. biggrin.gif

fight until dunnow hen also not finish.
wait ar, i send email to proton today n they should reply to me by monday.
monday i will post the email here.
then we can know whether latest gen2 engine got VIM or CPS or got BOTH.
but highly doubt they have VIM or CPS.

Here's the torque/power graph from Gen2. Source: http://www.geocities.com/robyndigital/charts.htm

The red line is claimed to be the stock before modding.
The green line is after modded to have better performance and wider torque curve.



From the chart, the stock Gen2 torque curve is terribly in the wrong range.

turbo or supercharge, the fuel consumption depends on the boost

me too.. recently, ive sat in a couple of quite brand new gen2's, both 1.3 n 1.6 model.. quite brand new meaning in theyre only bout few moths old.. no offense gen2 owners, but the interior is crap!! u can feel that everything that is used 2 make the interior is cheap.. n i dont think its pretty either.. it may be different from we're used 2 get in other protons, but i dont think its an achievement we should be proud off.. i especially hate the clock in the middle wit sort of a roof shading it.. the so called sporty seats r not comfortable n not sporty at all.. n at the back, i dont feel comfortable at all sitting at the back, suffering from a serious lack of head room.. gotta be honest, im not gonna be looking 4ward doing a long journey sitting at the back of that car..

im really sorry if i sound harsh gen2 owners n supporters, but this is facts..

Thanks for the charts. I assumed that campro waja is using same engine as gen2, once I get it I might want to tune it as to achieve this green line curve(although I have no idea how is it gonna improve daily driving purpose)...Where you tuned ur gen2? How much? notworthy.gif

Engineering a supercharger to allow a decent boost at low rpm is easier though.

Please refer to the source. I'm not the owner of the charts and car. tongue.gif

I won't be owning any Proton unless there won't be any more comment on cheap plastic, power window, door knob and its overal quality as a comfortable reliable practical car. And I don't need any high-revving engine or racing kind of turning corner.

well, i hope to take a ride on ur gen 2...since u praise gen 2 till sky high...

btw, u say gen 2 1.6 is better than city idsi..actually on paper, gen 2 must be better because is 1.6 compare with 1.5 doh.gif
