campro = no variable cam, no variable valve, no nothing

iafm = TVIS found on 1st gen 4AGE from AE86 from year 1985

cps = variable valve lift which dont work. a sophisticated and well designed engine with valve lift tech should make 165hp like B16A. this "new technology" could be found in 1988 EF9 CRX B16A

vim = variable inlet manifold

today is 7/4/2008. phailed

from the 80s

the problem is with proton do not have the ability to produce a high revving and reliable engine at a reasonable cost..proton can put in any degree cam lobe they want..but the engine will not be reliable because it is made by proton at constant 7-8k rpm.

cps is running on a rather high cam profile (but not high enough to produce astonishing power), this make low end suffer and make fuel economy worse.

if proton want to make it a high peformance engine, the low rpm power too will suffer badly like a B16A or 4AGE.

we can say that campro is something in between power and fuel economy. but both dont works

cps as a high performance engine = phailed
cps as a fuel economical engine = phailed

japanese manufacture rarely produce those high peformance engine in low price family saloon anymore.

vim at low end? cps at high end? proton website tell u this of course..but real life it is not like this

CPS is not high peformance engine and not fuel economical engine..then wat is this engine good at? boat anchor perhaps..

if cps isnt mean for fuel economy..why should proton make something that is not economical and put it in a low cost everyday family saloon?
