Thanks Deto for your extensive explanation.
Sounds like alot of work to transplant the ED-DE then.
Deto and LYN Kancil gang!
I have started restoring my old Kancil since Nov last year.
The last item for me to do is the engine. I want to complete this project of mine before end of this year.
So hope you guys don't mind me bugging & asking too much questions ya.
Need all your opinion on this.
What i want:
- Improve FC.
(current 12.5cents/Km, +/-)
- Easy to maintain.
(currently every month sure have something to fix..old car ma..)
- Spare parts easily available.
- Just enough power to climb Genting cukup la..heheh no need power power..kepish!
(Currently with 2 ppl can only reach Gotong Jaya, engine struggling gear 3 or 2..

)
What i have:
- Daihatsu 660 6v na (M)
- RM3.5k to transplant. (if able to cut down cost better la haha..)
Options:
- Top overhaul.
- Overhaul.
- L5 660 4piston na (M)
- any more ideas??
Greatly appreciate all your contributions.
Thanks!
Jason
Advantages/Disadvantages of Overhaul:
- eventho all parts are new... but still stuck with 660cc and 2 valve perpiston.. engine still struggling
- modifying ori engine can be carryout through out the overhaul, ori part > performance part, example
... head swap.. from 6v to 12v.. but must take the carb and exhaust manifold too.. a little rewiring must be done
... clutch plate.. change to 850 has some advantages for 660 as 850 are bigger.. 850=L2 size..or can opt for exedy 3puck for L2..
... flywheel.. can send to lightened the flywheel.. give good rev all out but , skimmed too much will degrade the high end power..unless there's something helping to push the top, e.g. turbo snail..
... piston.. can use super over size, 72mm 4g13 std size piston.. this piston are flat. means compression are meant for hi comp.. ..lighter rev.. it a good idea when overhaul that we change the piston as maybe the bore is already bigger.. means the ori piston are not tight in the bore.. so use bigger piston solve the problem.. (remmbr like my fren case.. piston 1 dun have compression eventho already change piston ring.. it still happen.. and when dismantle every back.. and check out between piston 1 and its bore .. we can sleeve in a business card..here make the compression lost.. )
... electronic distributor.. forget dy the advantages but afaik, dont have to change the contact point regularly.. also a lighter rev..
Advantages/Disadvantages of L5 660 N/A
- cooler look and cooler aircond using dashboard > L5..
- 4piston=lesser vibration
- getting new experience with new engine..
- is u dont get good h/c a nightmare will haunt u down dude..
.. eventho sparepart are available. u're losing on installation fees...
... sparepart are bit expensive example.. top set of Jb-series engine are 550-650RM.. while 12v/6v top set most of expensive kena chop like rm130(daihatsu packaging)... even rm60 also can get..
.. u dont know previous history of ur halfcut.. the reason of being cutted at japan.. example.. masuk longkang... masuk sawah padi.. wiring problem or other problem.. tarak lepas japan yearly inspection ka..... the service history.. being trashed or being driven by a girl or makciks.. tips: take accident halfcut are better.. cos we know the car being cutted becos of accident.. but dont straight 'bang' front la.. maybe on right or left side..
-some chopshop use chemical to wash the engine b4 putting on the shelf. maybe having hard to see the leakage...
need to concern more on engine part if using L5..
as other.. like gearbox,radiator.. can use back L2/kancil part
Advantages/Disadvantages of L5 660 Turbo twincam 4 piston 16v
... take from above.. just add
+ a pure power upgrade!...
decision is urs...
if done overhaul.. engine shud have no problem and restore back original power.. if other have problem might not solve all the problem
if done conversion.. need to worry the sparepart and money constraint.. and maybe some other problem might occur too..

i guess your carby need to re-tune,
find some experience mech to do it for you
my mom's fren who help me to re-tune/clean up the carby when i change my clutch...
but unfortunately, my carby auto choke already un-function...
where you get the metal hose?
i changed mine twice after my mom's fren help me changed few days ago,
but the problem come back again today ~
the stupid rat bite the same place and cause the hose broken ~
how to prevent this?

how did the mice know where to bite.. ? I guess u have some other problem lah bro.
if the part are avail in metal. just go for that one.
