Actually what's wrong with Proton'S CFE engine.
Im not talking about trying to BOT the IAFM engine.
Proton lowered the stock boost just to protect the CVT. Not the engine.
Sadly nobody even tries to replace the gearbox to a stronger non-CVT gearbox followed by replacing the Stock turbocharger and crank up the boost.
All blame the engine just because of the CVT.
All blame the engine just because it wears a Proton badge.
All want to just swap the entire engine to something more glamourest. Evo engine.
I bet if someone dare to up the boost, Honda turbo can kiss its ass goodbye. 205nm vs Honda's 220Nm is not far off. 138hp on CFE vs 173 hp on a Civic turbo. 35 horses difference for a turbo is not a big gap.
Doable with some tuning upgrade (and yes.. add an external oil cooler)
Proton has tried racing with a CFE engine minus the turbo and pumps out 190 horses. NA. Imagine with turbo.

Again nobody tried. Because they lack the confidence. Sadly.
190hp on 1.6L engine..not very impressive, especially since its a race engine. Nissan already produce a 200hp 1.6L engine 20 years ago! And its for mass production, street legal although limited.Im not talking about trying to BOT the IAFM engine.
