Hi there...
Just my 2 cents to share... MYVI BOT... There's basically nothing much to do. Just plunk in an emanage and a turbo kit. Send it to tuners to tune.... U may not be able to tune the ignition timing... But it's good enough to boost around 0.5bar with just Air flow correction map... U'll definitely feel it.
Myvi already comes with Low compression pistons if u are aware. I have some friends driving their MYVI BOT. But do remember to tell ur friend that if he's doing it on an auto, the GB would be the first thing to fail...No much of a problem if u fnd the right mechanic...
Now here comes the problem with the mechanic u mentioned in ur thread.
What makes him think that an original turbocharged YRV will have problem compare to his BOT..? JPJ inspection sure lepas one cause both engine having same capacity. Just plunk in everything from the halfcut and get it inspect first. Then u start modding from there.
Personally, I think there are limit a 1.3 can go... U won't be able to achieve really big horses. Like what Jeremy Clarkson has always said, there is no replacement for displacement.
But, just ignore the non constructive post in the thread and do it if ur friend thinks he is ready. Noone can stop ur friend from enjoying his own ride...
I remember posting it somewhere.... If u think ur JDM are fast, what gives u the right to stop other ppl from enjoying what they have... So, does it mean those ppl driving Continental sports car can laugh at u saying u bloody slow car.. Keep it at home and don't spoil the damn road... So, the man driving Bugatti Veyron should tell the other continental sports car owner the same thing...
Hello... Please respect urself when u call urself an automotive enthusiast...
But please do more research before ur friend Bolt On the Snail.... To me, there are a few shops that I will never go for customizing engine such as BOT Or spercharging...
If I'm not mistaken, I've read somewhere Vulnera's D17 VTEC was BOT at the shop u mentioned... Look for his post to have a brief idea about them...
Please tell ur friend dun simply teong every car he sees on the road after he BOT his MYVI...
