Wrong....

Actually, 4G15 is made to replace 4G91. There are a few types of 4G15 which incorporates SOHC, DOHC and even MIVEC technology. There is also GDI based 4G15.

The only thing is that 'our' 4G15 is the economical one.

4g91 is a good engine replacement for your 1.3 / 1.5 wiras. plug & play, no problems, power ok, lots of upgrade opportunities. the current price for the half-cut now is between 2.8 to 3.2k.

you'd be supprised how economical a efi 4g91 twin cam can be. the fuel consumption for an auto is less than our 4g15 auto

Juz wondering, how do you know how economical an EFi 4G91 Twin Cam can be??? Have you use it before??? blush.gif

"Our" 4G15 is underpowered and consumes more fuel because of Proton's "clever" idea to match it with a 3-speed auto gear box right? Or does it also suffer with a manual???  rolleyes.gif

have transplanted a few 4g91 for some wira / satria customers, all of them damm happy with the power & economy. one of them had the cams & ecu upgraded, even my 1.6 satria cannot catch that car:-P

as for iswara, too much work need to be done to fit that engine in. the mounting points need to be changed. done that before, don't intend to do it again. if u're really interested, my friend's workshop will do it for you.

i'm not the cheapest guy around, but i stand by my workmanship and the finishing is top class. no straight swop of engine, but we clean and check the donor engine before transplanting it in your car. the half-cut is approx 3k, labour is 1.5k and stand by 1k for parts and lubricants if it's an auto, or 1.5k for parts and lubricants if it's a manual as the prices include a new clutch set.

Well, actually that's the main point I wana mod...  sweat.gif
I like the whole Wira look (aeroback/Satria)...but it's a fact that these models use up petrol as it were free!  cry.gif
So, I would like to get a more efficient engine...not til like that of the i-DSi, but something better than the stock...
If I wana go for power, might juz go for EVO half cut'  tongue.gif

is 12km per litre good enuf for u? normal everyday driving? that;s what i'm getting with my satria 1.6. ported head, oversized pistons, fully balanced engine, upgraded ecu, upgraded oil pump, oil squrters, oversized throttle body, gti exhaust manifold, hotbits piping, custom rear box.

Well, that's y I wana transplant either a 4G91 or 4G15... their FCs are said to be better... I juz wana achieve 6l/100km @ around 16km/liter...without sacrificing too much power and torque... tongue.gif

Oh btw, what engine are u using??? Stock???

my engine is an original proton 4g92. 16km/l? hard to get for city driving. 4g91 might give u 12km/l in ciry driving.
