Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kopi" data-source="post: 1009737" data-attributes="member: 2958">my 2 cents :the crowd in the malaysian motorsports scene is as what you can see and know around you. We have the minor hardcores who are all the way in making monsters and we have the major "I want my car to look fast and sound fast" without even knowing the mechanics of their ride. The comes in the middle between those two, the mid-core enthusiasts who mod their cars 50%-70% of what the hardcores did, because moneywise factor.I'd say the benchmark for Malaysians to be actually ready for forced induction and real performance tuning is when they are properly equipped with automotive mechanical knowledge and least did lotsa hours of DIY fixing and tooling around with their ride. It's really a waste for people to convert their rides to have more powerful motor but not knowing nuts and bolts about it. At least self-able to do problem diagnosis when something on the car is not working right and not just walk up into a workshop saying "My car stalled when I stop at the traffic light. Please check on it." How well would they know what is the correct optimum diameter for port-polish cylinder head? What's the proper weight to achieve for crankshaft/conrods/piston in engine balancing process and which cylinder to start balancing first? What's the optimum air fuel ratio the engine needs after replacing the air filter and extractor? How much boost can my cylinder at piston take at this certain compression rate with this turbine? Does this piggyback unit function well with my engine? (talking about seeing a stock carburetor, single cam car using VAFC?) All these kind of question needs to be properly worked at.Knowledge has always been the key. We all know performance parts in Malaysia (new) costs a bomb and so does other stock parts. But with knowledge, we can make every worth of our spending live up to its value for dollar. Ask any real tuner, how they go on getting the most whp from an engine. As far as I know in Malaysia, only a few spend time calculating figures while others still uses the paleolithic try-and-error method, or simply copying others. Mentally-wise : not really ready for most, especially for end-user.</blockquote>
