We all knw that the Putra is one of Proton's best car if not the best...
It's 10years now since it begun production...
It's common to fit a MIVEC engine in...
I'm wondering...
Is it possible to fit a Honda 1.5 iDSI engine with 7-speed CVT gearbox into the Putra/Satria???
Is it legal???
I knw JPJ allows increase in engine capacity (eg: 1.8 > 2.0), but does it allow engine downgrade (eg: 1.8 > 1.5)???

Nope not legal because you have to mod the mountings to fit. JPJ sure will not approve

And u cannot increase ur capacity to 2Ls anymore except for Perdana, if engine downgrade, why? You already have a 1.8L DOHC NA underneath the hood, a good engine for modding.

OIC...
Well, I like to drive efficiently...all the power the engine makes is wasted...so, I prefer having a good fuel economy... That's the main reason for the Honda engine...

might as well u get a the Honda car straight right?

car if mounted with different make engine will definately not approved by JPJ..seriously..now also JPJ become more strict..

Not nessesary a Huge CC will have higher FC.

ya lo... city's engine may be fuel economy in a city, may not work tat way if put into a putra, u must consider the power to weight ratio,

The good thing for bigger cc engines is that you can get high torque at low rpms, good for cruising around the city as oppose to lower cc that needs to rev to get power

ehm.. well under normal circumstances is NO..

but if u know the right ppl, n the right amount. it can be done. even a letter can be issued to you stating the approval. but its gonna be a tough getting it.

actually no chance for such conversion...
coz by JPJ itself stated that different chassis make cannot put in diff engine make...
but if wan to put who says impossible?
here got :
e30 Sr20
Waja Sr20
merc RB25
bla bla bla bla

lol.. true..i can transplant any engine inside n drive.
only when u get caught, they will issue u a letter for inspection. den u have to swap back to ur ori specs.. get it approve.. come out.. transplant again..
but all the trouble..

JPJ wont allow engine mounting mods.

well if u want to take the risk, its up to you. Just don't get caught

Yea... keep low profile...

and put a BN logo Sure lepas one...

Possible? Anything with money is possible.

Legal? is not but again with money anything is possible

may consider mitsubishi lancer's (cedia) cvt geartbox, since it fits 4g18 engines

4g18 also cannot fit inside putra mah... coz engine mounted the other way round... means timing belt on driver side.....

besides, why u oledi have 1.8 wanna downgrade to 1.6??..

TS, best solution if u want the look of putra and less fc, go get 4g93p sohc.... it has reasonable torque to pull u around... vr good fc (according to a 4g93p sohc user in a satria)....

besides, u'll get extra money by selling ur 4g93p dohc to 4g93p sohc... the extra money can go into petrol or ur galgal....

fyi, dohc has better fc than sohc .. lol ..try google around ..

if u really wan fuel economical then just downgrade it lol ... btw 4g93p is a good engine ..its fc is not high .. i got rm10 to go for 70-80km ... what is ur fc ?

if just for cruising, 1.8 SOHC can get the job done since the torque is high, not necessary DOHC is better in some cases.

with a 1.8cc the torque diff is not much on both sohc and dohc ... so i opt for dohc interms of efficiency .. juz like solo core and duo core lol ..

btw i m using sohc hehe .. tats y we can see some car likly to be 1.8cc above usually opt for dohc while lower than tat got variations of sohc and dohc ..
