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. |

QUOTE(littlefire @ Jan 9 2020, 03:37 PM) Why not? The legal way is to write a letter to JPJ for modification approval with the engine information or custom form (If buy from half-cut shop). If swap from another car take the car geran information. Normally a 20% allowance for cc increase from original size. The most important is not to alter, cut or weld the main chassis, the rest can be kautim. It’s 25% now. Used to be 30% |

Turbocharging is never cheap, not even BOT.
Turbocharger Wastegate BOV Exhaust manifold Intake Intercooler and piping Intake system Oil coolant lines Piggyback ECU Of course you can have a budget BOT, but most likely your car will be staying in the workshop more than driving it on the road. |

Ya, that’s why I didn’t include everything. Turbo is never meant for the faint hearted ones. I don’t think a budget BOT is ever a thing, not even questioning the reliability. |

1)Oil temp
2)Water Temp 3)AFR 4)Oil Press These few basic aspects to monitor is enough for you with headaches. Still not talking about boost controller, oil cooler, radiator fan, thermostat, radiator and cap, fuel pump, fuel rail, extra injector, and custom return fuel line, thicker gasket Lol. So many to list out. TLDR: if yo don’t really understand about turbo, best would be: 1) stick to NA 2) engine swap 3) get a TC car Unless you have a very2 reliable workshop or you have a lot of moolah to burn My 2 cents |
