Engine

hi you can put in VQ25DE ,the power less a bit from VQ30DE if i'm not wrong 170Hp against 190Hp different 20hp

 

[Gandalf]

How much is the VQ25DE nowadays?
Does the h/c come with the bodykit as well?

 

[ongteckweng]

i just transplanted VQ25 into my cefiro 3.0...the engine had its glory day...since its 9 year old...better get smaller cc engine. can save on roadtax.
Bought the halfcuts rm5500...including bodyparts. black headlamp, bonnet, bumper, side mirror (5 wires) n mudguard. workmanship around rm1300 not including oils etc.

anyway, the engine is bolt-on. no need to mod the mounting. so registerin will not be a prob. and its downgrading not more than 25%, so no need to ask for permission from Kawal Selia. just go to Puspakom for inspection and the rest in JPJ. thats all.

as for power, its good enough for city n highway use. yet, it is comparable with my 3.0. a bit less in terms of torque. Fuel consumption wise, its much better than my 3.0
previously its was like 22 cents (highway or city also same!!)...now its 14 cents (highways) and 15-16cents p/km for city driving...now u do the calculation. hehehe
hope this help. cheers...

 

[ongteckweng]

forget to add...some halfcuts (newer gen) comes with bodykits (NISMO). its has front lip, side skirts and rear skirting (2 piece like misai)
but its hard to get. need to do some runnin around chop shop lor.
but can alwiz custom mah...hehehe
i have been lookin for the NISMO bodykits but still cant find le...haiiii....

Hey Ong,

Where do u usually go shopping for Chop Shops? I heard that there are alot of A32 around Kg. Melayu Subang, or just behind the old Subang Airport.

I wanna change my A32 Front Door Trimboard. Its kinda old & its loose. Dunno why. Maybe previous owner didn't take care. Dunno how much it will cost me... if possible .. wanna get a A33 door trimboard ... if its cheap ...

 

[ongteckweng]

theres one in batu caves. i think they have what u want. door trim right.
Nomiya. located beside Giant supermarket.
yeah, kg melayu subang has a lot. one of them is hakitrade. but duno the price.

 

[vk9]

i wonder why not many cefiro owners mod their car... now i know why after visiting few accessories shops....

basically, there is no ready made part like body kits available..

 

[ongteckweng]

demand is not ther. and most cefiro owners r uncles...hehehe
i mean businessman...they dont usually mod cars...hehehehehehe
joking...

 

[vk9]

ong... wht u say is really true....

no demand, accessories shop will not brinf it in..... even they bring in, no many will be willing to pay for the high price....

so, i will have to keep my lazyboy in original ahpk look loh :)

 

[cgui]

Thanks Ong for the tips. Batu Caves is much nearer to my place compared to Kg. Melayu Subang.

I might check it out tomoro. Be going over to Sunway to shop around then later might go to Klang & check out those alloys again.

Hey any of u guys tried installing those Compressor, Voltage Stabilizer & those EPS kinda thingy before on yr ride?

Any difference does it makes?

 

[vk9]

whenever i switch on the aircond, my headlight will dim...

therefore, i am thinking of voltage stabiliser.... but wonder whether it will help.....

 

[ongteckweng]

volt stabilizer n groundin will help u solve ur prob vk9....
its proven that these things stabilize the electrical stuffs....but im not too sure about the compressor etc...
better than a K&N filter....better spark plug/plug cable and exhaust system...afterall, these r essential for performance.

 

[vk9]

any idea how much $$ volt stabilizer and grounding will cost?

thanks.

 

[ongteckweng]

pivot= rm250+-
grounding cables = rm100-rm400 (dependin on brands n made)

 

[vk9]

is grounding and volt stabiliser come together (that means u cannot instal either one of it)??

what the benefit of grounding?

thanks.

 

[ongteckweng]

no...they dont come together. but some company pack them as 1 item, which mean more money. so depends on u la.
theres a lot of topic on groundin in this forum. try to search for it. duno how to explain well...scare confuse everyone...hehehe

 

[vk9]

ok, thanks....

 

[ongteckweng]

no worries mate

Anyone knows of any feilo being sold with the transplanted 2.5 litre engine? Nowadays I check on the Star paper hor, most 97 batch feilo are less than RM50k. Most are RM46k ++. How much lower do you think can bargain ar?

Actually plan is like this. Buy a 3.0 feilo. Saje want to feel power of award winning 3.0 litre engine. Paling maximum also for one year la cos road tax issue. (if kaya liao then nvm). After which I intend to transplant the lower cc engine.

Aspire to have Yakuza fatty boy.

Advice welcome.

 

[cgui]

gandalf. u should ask ongteckweng. he has transplant his fatty with a VQ25 engine. there was 1 2.5L fatty but i'm not sure whether is a A32 or A31. previously was posted in motor trader sometime back. there was even another unit, comfirm A32 being sold in autoworld. try finding it out. dunno still there or not. i'm also planning to convert ... if got $$$ lar. damn expensive man. RM2115 peryear road tax. can pay for insurance & road tax for 2.5L.

about the modification on my cefiro 3.0 to 2.5 cost arround rm2xxx including jpj runner fees,labour,oil,engine(trade in the 3.0)etc.if you interested pls left the H/P number,i give you the number:OK.

 

[ongteckweng]

wah peter...so cheap ahh? i bought the halfcut also like 5k++. not including the workmanship etc!!! wher u get them la??
2.5l road tax around 800++...so can save 1300++
anyway, FC around the same lor. if not heavy footing, can get 16cts/km
btw gandalf, better get a 3.0 then convert urself. u might never know if a converted 1 have any probs. save u the headache. can get a 96 or 97 for less then 44k...no prob...trust me...hehehe
