let79 said:I believe most members here have the experience of havin their stock AD Resort GA16DS changed becos not satisfied with the engine performance which can only produce an odd 90bhp. Well im havin the same dillema here.
I have been looking for few types of power plants that i might consider into changing but i need some experienced advise on this.
There is this one the GA 16 DE, same as the GA16DS only that the DE came with fuel injection. Then there is the other which is SR16VE VVL which can produce around 175 hp.
I knew both the GA16DE and the SR16VE has better efficiency than the GA16DS but in comparison between the GA16DE and SR16VE which has better FUEL and performance efficiency. How much is the price for the engine swapping like? Please do advise on the pros and cons of the swapping.
I can more or less know that GA16DE can save me on fuel compared to my GA16DS (very bad fuel consumption in town driving) but how is it like with the SR16VE?
AD resort is heavy car and the power to weight ratio using GA16 DS is not appropriate for such a car.
For the current owners of the AD resort who has changed the power plants to any of the engines, do appreciate if could advise and help me on the above matter. Im not a racer and wanted to have better fuel efficiency on my Resort.
is true that sr16 is very powerful in torque. the price for that halfcut itself alone can easily cost u about rm5k-rm6k(depends on the halfcut) not include installation. lets say instalation the cheapest u get is rm1k and the total of the whole project will cost u somewhere around rm7k.
if ur not a hardcore racer , i think u can go for ga16de is more than enough. then u can use som $$ to modd the engine such as port polish and all the other stuff.
y not u let us know bout ur budget then onli think of wat engine ....:X-:
about the fuel consumption ,i think is ur carb too dirty that cause. have u didnt any proper modd onto the ride ?? if u have change ur sport filter then ur exhaust system , this will also cause for the fuel comsumption ....... the most important is how u drive also that will cause lol.....
do check ur carb and set ur carb at the authorised dealer to get back ur performance. if u reall decided to transplant the engine , then go n surf around lol......
if anything u can anytime inform me ya
