Oh...
Myvi 1.0 oso using this block right?
Could be why there is Perodua logo on the block. Anyway, so far i only see wording or small logo on engine block...this is first time see big logo on block.
My mechanic said to me for first generation EJ-VE use Daihatsu Block but no VVT, start from Second Generation, Daihatsu used Perodua made block and put VVT Technology into it. Theres nothing different in terms of power ( hp & torque ) but fuel is much more efficient and comply europe standard for less carbon.
Well back to engine progress, today i received my custom made Banana or Manifold. They weld it perfectly, but for the flange i asked them not to fixed weld just in case i need some change on piping layout when installed. I certainly want to avoid cutting my engine front bar or bumper to install the turbo. The banana was powder coated to reduce rust.
The cost for the custom Manifold + Powder coat is RM1100.
