Satria_95,
Firstly,thanks a lot in givin me good advice on the oil flush issue which was runnin all over my small head:).About the engine conversion,i actually made a big big mistake when i bought it 6 mths ago....it actually happened due to my super duper inpatience.My frens n foreman had told me to wait until one of us find a local gti/putra/wira le owner who wants to convert due to the hardship in finding a halfcut of 4g93 N/A at chop shops and after bout 4 weeks scouting i found one halfcut of 4g93 but from the japanese mitsubishi eterna(Proton Perdana),was cheap...at RM1800 i did not think much but just to get it to my foreman's place to be fixed...and the next day onwards was HELL for me due to the reasons as stated below:-
1)Engine wiring harness totally diff compared to satria body(im a newbie in conversions so i believed when chop shop guy said can be fixed)......had to cut here n there to just get it started.The worse other than it looks ugly was when i on the aircond the engine dies cos after cutting here n there...cos the bunch of wire at the throttle body actually works diff-ly(supposed to work with digital aircond panel which i cant mount to my dashboard..this was really really sickening!)
2)This engine in Japan is not meant for performance as in it comes from a Eterna1.8 Visage(lowest version),so the computer box bearing number-6123(Originally meant for auto tranny) was totally shit cos it cant perform though it was MMC ...no where compared to a msian 4g93p...even our so said low perf(Ppl Claim) 4g93p-Siemens version can smoke me with no sweat at traffic light from 1st to 5th gear...thats how bad it is.My nearest fight is against the SOHC 1.6 (Auto )Wira..Imagine la hmmm...
3)Msian 4g93p have rather low comp pistons but at least there is 4 small curves on top of each pistons compared to mine which is super FLAT TOP...this causes me lossing lots of power seriously.
4)It was lots of waste that i expirienced such as the Eterna front Lights,Bumper,Fenders,Dashboard,Meter Panel,Digital Aircond..its blower,Drive shaft,Lower Arms,Absorbers,Abs system,Disc Brakes which were unuseable on my satria...however for the RM1800 there was NO GEARBOX included....i have seen ppl sellin GTi 2001 model engine all under the hood for RM2,600 including gearbox lately!
I know u just wanted to know the cost involved but im saying all these which u might not be interested in just so that u or anyother person here would never ever make the same FOOLISH costly mistake like me,PLS!cos the bloody fella's sometimes at Chop Shop's know peanuts....they would say this"INI DARI ITU BODY PERDANA KALO MASUK SATRIA MESTI KUAT PUNYA LA"n this makes it very motivating cos it has logic in it tho,this was what made me damn kaw excited....at the start other bein surprised to see 4g93 N/A on a Eterna body.Bout the cost RM1,800(Shitty Turtle Like Halfcut),RM1,058(Labour Chrgs inc Timing Belt Etc) and RM40(JPJ INSP)...so like RM2,898.Lastly,pls take my small piece of advice,if ur gonna get a 4g93p....just look out for frens here in ZTH or personal frens who wanna upgrade cos thats the best deal!Cos its seriously hard to find a 4g93 N/A at chop shops...im not sayin its imposibble but but why wanna spend money on removing the damn speed cut which im quiet sure it will have.For now,this is all i can say....hope u dont mind my explaination on this cos i don wan anyone to make this BLUNDER!!!Lastly,about the black oil im using Castrol GTX2-20w-50(normal type)....cheers!
hope this info help!
