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.
https://www.sepangcircuit.com/events/malays...but-in-malaysiaAgain 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
