Yup. K&N drop in is good. Make sure its original.

What type of cleaner do you recommend?

K&N sells the cleaner for the filters as well.

Yeah true. All those stock turbo cars are definitely a massive trend and here to stay. Being a total noob on this Bolt-On Turbo thing plus its reliability issue, I'd stay away from it now.

Don't give up so easily. First things first, set a budget and then talk to an expert with a shop that'd be willing to do the mods for you and see if your budget matches his price. If it doesn't then save up until you do have enough. Then take a deep dive and join the dark side..... and whack that Mark X next time you see it.

Incidentally I think prices would be 15k-20k for a hardcore full-on turbo setup (pistons, conrods, ecu, turbo, workmanship, exhaust, tuning). But there are ways to get this much lower in price.

Swapping the two engines will take a lot of work and more money. Just imagine, leaving two Inspira at workshop to swap the engine. Taking one out and putting in another. A lot of things need to be disassembled and reassembled again later. Not to mention by doing so, you need to get two cars to get endorsement at JPJ as their engine number has been changed compared to what is stated in their car registration documents.

If you really want a 2.0 4B11 engine for your 1.8 Inspira, it would be better to go to halfcut shops and get yourself a 4B11 "enjin lantai" from them, which means engine only without any other add ons. Take the engine, use the block, pistons, engine internals and swap those to your Inspira. After that get the car registered. While you're at it, do consider a few NA mods like port and polish your cylinder head, balancing the engine internals since you need to remove your whole engine to swap in the 2.0 engine parts. Basically, you are refreshing your engine again that way. You can keep he cylinder head from the halfcut that you bought as a spare or you can try to sell it away for money.

Hope it helps.

cannot just simply swap the internals like that bro. he still needs the ecu or reflash his ecu or piggyback it. from what i read, i don't think the ts want to spend that much. hence the minor mods suggestion to help him improve his top end power.

If ECU adjustments are needed, then swapping engine directly from the two cars requires even more work then as the ECU needs to be transplanted as well. Wiring harness maybe can be reused.

no. it's a direct swap actually. take out engine from the 1.8 inspira, then take out engine from 2.0 inspira, remove the gb from the 2.0 inspira, install the manual gb from the 1.8 inspira into the 2.0 inspira, then mount the 2.0 engine with manual gb into the 1.8 chassis inspira, install the 2.0 ecu from the other inspira and take out the ecu from 1.8 with the tcu and pasang into the 2.0 inspira. pretty straightforward but the power difference and all is not really worth the swap.

u can get 4b11T halfcut for around RM17k++ and just swap everything in. which would definitely gives more powwah and oooomph.

still dont think its worth the costs/effort for the small gains...

What if ts swap to carbon body panel,will that help top speed?
Or tinker with the gb ratio?

Last time i did saw a covering panel for underside of a car.not sure if the conpany is still around as i doubt there are many customer for that product.It improve airflow underneath the car.

Have u tried waxing your car kaw2 until so slippery that it gain extra 5kmh top speed....heheh.

tinkering with the ratio will raise his top speed but the downside is that it may took too long to reach such speed. Aerodynamics may help

Changing to carbon panels will cost him like at least 1k per panel... A bit too expensive at this level to shave off a few KG? There are still a lot of cheaper way before resorting to carbon panels first.

i believe he doesn't want to go forced induction cause of the cost factor... im just saying, buying a b11 and doing all that work for that extra 200cc is probably less cost efficient.

He’s not buying it. His father’s car inspira is 4b11 auto. But yeah, the money needed for the swap and all just for a very very small gain can be better spend on doing up the 4b10.

Yes but certainly not that price! My suggestion is just buy Simota/Works, good enough and not that expensive (only around rm160-180). I'm also using those on all my cars.

 

[6UE5t]

Probably just me but I feel simolta needs more frequent cleaning. I hear K&N can go longer in between cleans. BTW, slight improvement only when it's nice and clean. There was once I forgot to clean in a long time. Was wondering why my car felt sluggish and fuel hungry

Has anybody tried those replica bmc types yet? Have an ori in the bimmer. It's nice

Naah it's about the same. I seldom clean my Simotas too, mostly just knock them a few times to get rid off the dust every 10k km oil change and put them back! My cleaning kit still has plenty left in the bottle. Works fine for me all these years.

Hey, arent we supposed to clean Simoltas every 5K? That's what it says in instruction pamphlet from the cleaning kit

Well I'm too damn lazy to do that!
