Hey guys, just wanna share my 1.5 yrs driving experience on the Waja
Campro Auto.
Any Campro owners especially auto trans. ones would definitely have their tales to tell about the 'lazy' nature of this engine and the crappy “u
must drive it above 4000RPM to FEEL the power” .
A drag-style driving on an ‘uncle’ looking sedan car? What nonsense!
Though the engine responded pretty well during the first year of
ownership, the performance had somehow dropped after the 30k kms and though FC was average,(10.5 ~ 11.9kms/L) I was hoping it'd be better given the fact I'm quite light footed most of the time.
Browsing through various forums and (poisonous) chats with other Campro-heads finally paid off as I'm made aware of this engine's potential.
I then decided to focus on the exhaust system (of which I’m more familiar with the expected results due to my previous mod on a Wira 1.6)
With the daily dose of mod advice a.k.a “poison” from other forummers , I've swapped to a 4-2-1 extractor, added 2 mid bullets (1 in the place of the stock bullet) and an s-flow muffler.
Results? Superb!
After the mod, a slight tap on the accelerator propels the car much further as compared to the usual heavy-draggy feel of the Campro. The
increase in power is noticeable in the overall rev range. The infamous torque dip region does not pose much of a problem now due to the
increased power in the engine response from just a mere bit of acceleration. Best thing is, the power is much eminent after the 4000RPM region as that’s the point where the Campro would excel most ..all the way up to the red line.
By getting rid of the stock exhaust restrictions, I now enjoy much better fuel consumption as well as increased torque while keeping the
power optimum at the most critical rev range for an automatic. (2-3k RPM). A test on a straight stretch of road also revealed the ease of
taking the engine up to the red line in just a fraction of time.
Driving this Waja Campro never felt better as you can now experience improved acceleration (does not feel like pulling an elephant around
anymore) as it is in stock form.
To all (even myself) that has lost hope in this Campro engine, I was wrong!
A simple (but proper selection of exhaust products & pure factual recommendations) will definitely aid in bringing out the real potential of this engine.
Best of all, the cabin noise level is similar to the stock exhaust setup if not quieter at 90kmh due to less restrictive exhaust gases in the
engine) ~(with an additional “filter” inserted into the muffler).
I have to give the credit to Weng and his team for this awesome setup and all the tips about the exhaust system. Weng is also a guy that gives u nothing but facts on the setup u desire. Unlike other exhaust shops that guess the end results, here's one place u can not only gain facts, knowledge expected power gains, they also customizes their products to suit your needs.
Another satisfied customer of Weng who came all the way from Seremban!
Good job guys!
