The "jerking" effect is called the CVT rubberband effect. This is what people dislike about having a CVT gearbox.
This effect is only present on unrefined CVT gearboxes. Those good CVTs from Nissan or Toyota usually don't have these obvious traits.

It's the little things that annoy people, though I personally don't mind it  nod.gif

Priceless! +1 for Proton... then again, of course, if their QC hadn't allow such a thing to happen in the first place.

Am thinking to visit RaceChip, anyone else interested?
*
Racechip....im thinking of it too. My friend install on its Ford Ranger and can see results in improve torque and speed.
Dunno what is the result for EB.
The dealer in Malaysia are selling quite expensive if compare to buy directly from the web.

After survey Racechip, it's RM1699 including installation. Dyno not included, plug and play only. Tuning done by EA Auto. Including other aftermarket poison, it's about RM3k - RaceChip, boost spring, Works cam gear, Mythelogy pulley. 2~3 hours needed.

Pricewise compared to EU mother site, it is not expensive, according to RaceChip:
Then I asked a mechanic, he asked me why not Unichip.
I looked that up, and it seems to be highly customizable where it can learn and use can reprogram up to 5 fuel maps. Also quite expensive, including the turbo module.

That's when I found RS Tune. They recommend me EFR2T, priced at RM950 including installation and dyno tune to remap fuel+turbo.

Will update more.
*
May i know what is the racechip model u mention?From web...only have 3 model racechip, racechip pro2 and ultimate.

Will wait more feedback on EFR2T.... drool.gif drool.gif

Just collected EB after 1st service at Apple Auto Seri Kembangan. Use Petronas 5W30 semi oil. Total around RM130.
Car feel light already but still monitoring on the fuel consumption.

noticed that the pick up is slow..but once you know how to use the accelerator...maintain rpm close to 2 when pickup then the sluggish will be lessen..

How come fuel consumption so high? Could it be caused by the engine problem with the X1R additive thing that was posted before?
*
Maybe the engine still new. I didnt use any additive for my 1st service, just change engine oil, oil filter only
But i notice there is slightly drop on the trip meter (previous is 14.5L/100km)

1) Mine too, and was worried about battery almost kong. Now that you confirmed this, I'm thinking to add VR, at least 1 Farad.
2) Mine too. Read about drivers complained that driver and passenger seat will have free play when car accelerate or decelerate, making kik-kuk sound. Sent to SC to remedy.
3) Clutch type CVT...
4) At the center console, next to the hazard light? Activates rear defogger at the same time.
Please read page 1, about not using additive for CFE engines.

For my car, tyre air pressure affects the FC significantly, even on highway.
That time was immediately after 2nd service (6 months @ 10000km), heading south with full passenger, cruising at 9~10L/100km @ 110km/h, so stopped at gas station to bring the air pressure up from 28 to 34 psi. Immediately:
- At 100~120km/h, cruise at 8~9L/100km.
- At 80~90km/h, cruise at 6~7L/100km.

After the trip, city driving FC reduced from 11.8L/100km to ~10.8L/100km.
Yesterday I checked, it was at 10.1L/100km.
*
I will add on VS + GC by next week since i notice there is slightly headlight dim when air-con compressor kick on.

I do agree too....normally pump air at 32 psi.

does adding GC and VS can do the trick?

dont think so it will improve on fuel consumption but notice increased throttle response due to a better spark, brighter headlights, and your stereo system won't strain your alternator as much as before (ie: less headlight dimming when the bass hits).
You should also immediately note a smoother idle when you first start your car.
