Kia Optima Evo4

Well done! Bro!

For curiosity, is the body kit custom made? cost how much?

Roughly how much cost involved for doing this engine conversion? If budget allow, i may consider it.:cheers:

Bro, so sorry for late reply as I was traveling so much for business trips. Really bz at work. To answer yr question:

The bodykit is entirely custom made. The base was it's original Novus kit with mixture of TRD Vios kit.

Engine conversio. Till date spending is above rm18k so far. Thts excluding cosmetic like bucket seats n stuffs.

Bro..

SEnd for Dyno laa.. Eager to know the HP... If 280hp.. Can tapao Evo standard already..



Regards

I don't think it has 280hp as wht e4 specs said. When driven, more like ard 220-230hp to me but nonetheless, it's pretty quick. No dyno to date. He's still working on it. I've not saw he car for almost 2 mths now.

Q: how bout the engine mounting? same?

...nice & clean (sleeper) ride there...

Engine mountg was the biggest challenge but installer done a great job cos engine vibration level is like original. It was frabicated fr original Evo mounting.

boss, if kacau mounting, how to endorse wit jpj?

I don't know how he got it thru JPJ. In fact, it's the installer who 'includes everything' in the package. If in accordance to the official rule, we can't have engine transplant from another make right? Which means KIA can only use KIA engines and not other brands.

But in Bolehland, I've seen FIAT using B16 and so is the old Orion Saga. :D

nope, share info here, for malaysia brand car, especially proton, engine capicity max only can go for 1800cc now except perdana and the new inspira, perodua i dunno, japan car can go up to 3000cc, about the brand, legally proton should put mitsu engine, perodua daihatsu or toyota engine, but u can also put in other engine such as proton wira go for honda, it just that when u selling ur car, u cant change the geran name, u nid change back to mitsu or proton engine to change name... my experience, actually, we need to understand our ride bro, here is the facts, KIA is a sub company from hyundai and hyundai get technology to produce cars long time ago from mitsubishi(same like proton but even earlier than proton), therefore, ur kia optima is just like perdana transplant evo 3 engine, it is legal as long as ur mech do the mounting job nicely..... congrates bro..... finally see another evo 4 fans like me around...
