Bro, is better to find a 1.8T GSR turbo half-cut and transplant.. A lot of those bolt on turbo require a lot of side modification like upgrading the radiator, thicker gasket, oil cooler add on, ECU remap/upgrade etc will add up a lot of cost and in the end is better to get a half-cut.. Less headache for the driver & mechanic..

Campro engine? Waste of time and resource imho. Might as well go for 4g63t or 4g93t. Since it’s 1.6, you can drop in up to 2.0 engine and get it endorsed without any issue.

An engine swap is better than BOT in the long run and you’ll be having less headache if turbo is an alien to you.

Well, for the engine alone is at least 5k and above. Easily reach RM10k++ including labour and other parts like gearbox, ECU those.

BOT is more budget for me, I just want small boost, not want to boost 2bar like that lol

How serious are you ? are you going to high boost?

If you want to do things properly, then your conrod bearing, head gasket, fuel injector, fuel pump, ecu etc all have to upgrade. Not to forget the braking system as well.

Those after market addon turbo kit usually is just some low boost turbo.

I bolt on turbo not for racing la, just want to have more power when the road is steep, and when I want to accelerate.

maybe .5 bar or .7 bar boost like that, not going for 1.5 bar or 2 bar boost lol

Not in order of the best or whatever.

  • Krypto Motorsports
  • Tam Turbo Motorsports
  • Marmad Auto Performance
  • Gearboss Performance

For me, just bolt on turbo.  Don't listen to those naysayers.
Understand the limitations and restriction, set a plausible power goals within the limitation or restriction.

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.

Because you can't just swap another gearbox and call it a day.

CFE Engine's ECU is matched with PunchCVT's TCU to work properly.

If you didn't have the corresponding TCU connected to the ECU, the ECU of CFE Engine will limit the RPM to 3000.

People converting CFE Engine from PunchCVT to custom Manual GB they need to change a new ECU as well because of the stupid limitation from Proton. Which is why there aren't many people converting Suprima or Preve CFE to MT
