Satria Neo engine transplant

[thomasysl]

Hi all

This is my first attempt on engine transplant. I just found a half cut 4G92 MIVEC Auto/Tiptronics (CK4A), have anyone here done a transplant on Satria Neo? Anything I need to take precautious on? Will I be able to use back the Neo dashboard? Any advice and suggestion will be great.

Thanks.

Regards
Thomas

wah,wat a waste.if transplanting is ur concern.u should not waste ur money end up buying a new to car to mod.coz the ck version 4g92 mivec do not as popular as the previous version.and i personally think tat tis kind of g/box is fun to play,but it is sad to repair

Rebuilding an auto gearbox is worth the money but u send it to a specialist who will break open and upgrade all the clutches, seals and mod the torque converter. Cost can be from RM 5k to 10k depending on model.

do take note that the satria neo has totally different engine mountings compared to the CK4A/Waja/Gen-2. The neo has only 3 engine mountings. you may have to fabricate an adapter to install the engine onto your original neo mountings.

see tat,senior of zerotohundred r start to talk already.

modified mounting will end up with JPJ not approving ur conversion

Are u sure or not... new.. very new car u know...
Satria Neo is nearly the same as Gen2 and wht engine that Gen2 can put in, the same as Satria Neo..
Then as putra 4767 said becareful on the mounting side...

Should be an interesting result when you done. But source the info carefully.

Gen2 can use Evo4. How they mount it? No idea... perhaps they use Evo4 crossmember?

Hi all senior members

Thanks a lot for the responds. What I have is a Satria Neo 1.3(A), the torque is hopeless when it is under 4000rpm(I do most city driving). SInce it is a very heavy car (1100+ kg), a better choice would be a 1.6 engine, but the campro is not my favorite. I bought this car is because as a authorised Proton dealer, need to purchase one a demo car. Other than the engine, the Satria Neo does have a stiff chassis, it feel good on the highway. So thats the reason I am thinking of performing a engine transplant.

Isnt that Gen2, Waja and Neo has the same number of mounting? sicne there are all using the same engine. Let me check with my machinics on this, else fabricating the mounting is out of the questions. If I cant use CK4, any other recommenedation I can look at?

Thanks again to all.

Regards
Thomas

other than mivec, there's also a variant of 4G93T in CK form. i think jpj approval is an issue here.

p/s why on earth did u choose a 1.3? and auto???

 

[flushafteruse]

1.3? and auto sumore? but for me Neo stock 1.6 engine produce enough torque compared others proton's new model

As I said earlier, it is a demo car. So going for the cheapest option. So thats the reason why I am looking at the engine upgrade. :confused_smile:
