u are right.The piston is real flat like gsr piston.The compression also low.I make this comparison between 4g93 e52 and 4g93p:
I get this spec from my surf for 4g93p(r3).This is the difference:
4g93p
POWERTRAIN
ENGINE 4G93P 4-cylinder 16 valve
MAXIMUM POWER
R3- Max output 105kW/140bhp @ 6100rpm
Gti- Max. output 139.9 PS (138.0 bhp) (102.9 kW)@6000 rpm
Eterna- Max output 102.97kW/140ps(138.23hp) @ 6500rpm
MAXIMUM TORQUE
R3- 168 Nm @5600rpm
GTi- 164.0 Nm (121 lbft) (16.7 kgm)@5500 rpm
MITSUBISHI- 166.71 Nm @5000 rpm
Compression ratio
GTi- 10.5:1
Eterna - 9.5:1
TRANSMISSION
5-speed manual
GTi and r3 produce higher bhp in lower rpm.The torque for r3 and gti at higher rpm. So from this spec sheet,what the conclusion? Can ppl or sifu give conclusion?I can see the compression ratio of eterna 4g93 is lower .Thats why it produce slower response than 4g93p.But for high rpm it still can give maximum output like 4g93p.If i am wrong plz correct me.

I suggest change to mivec piston, gti/putra wiring and ecu, change the gearbox final ratio for better pick up. Before this my engine overheating cause radiator leaking.My wife not aware it until that engine knocking and smoke.Fortunately no engine problem or any internal engine parts damage .Only the gasket got leaking.Just change the gasket and everything is ok.If your lubricants oil reduce, better change all the gasket (overhaul gasket) cost u around rm270 for one set (made in japan) if got leaking.If no leaking but white smoke come out from exhaust, better u make the top overhaul coz your engine "makan minyak hitam" already.bro,
1)what do u think?will the compression be higher if only i change it to the ori putra/gti pistons?
2)Btw,I do suffer from lost black oil,very noticeable esp after running new oil change for like 3000kms...anyone else having this problem?
why so expensive? rm550 with over haul service charge or just topset gasket? Are u using metal head gasket?hehehe just did my overhaul...
eat engine oil a bit...
looks like faulty/old valve seal..
bought the top set consist of valve seal, gaskets cost me RM550.......
Have u try with standard/stock Gti or Putra for 400 metres?me car feel much more lighter n much more padat..........
easy pickups...........
