NewBie to Perdana V6

[spawn_net]

Perdana V6 by far the BEST BUILD proton model intern of build quality accept for safety features.. hihi

Neways.. I bought a V6 2007 model. superb condition and all is well for until now after two years of using.. WHITE SMOKE!! arghhhhhh

Asked around what should be done.. most say Top Overhaul and cost around 3k original parts.
So I have a buddy use to be a Perdana KAKI till he sold off his car. Recommended me tukar the engine..

Base on findings 3 best model to fit;

1. Eterna RS TT
2. 6A13TT
3. Evo III

Just wanna know what the Sifu of Perdana think looking at aspect of cost, reliability, availability of spare parts and maintenance cost.

how much can I get a difference by just changing gearbox to manual.

 

[YYC]

Top overhaul including timing belt cost under rm2k with Japanese branded parts.

Imagine other models of Proton.. I think your engine fall off on the road.
I have had;

1. Saga (Mega-valve)
2. Wira
3. Waja
4. Now v6...

Proton should give me an award.. hahaha

 

[kurt_629]

Same here, savvy and perdana..

Often I ask myself, why always proton?? Haha

If you are going turbo route, by all means transplant the engine, but if not, better you top overhaul.....

 

[YYC]

If top overhaul, buy your own parts and ask your trusted mechanic to do it, if you know what parts and brands you want. This way you can save quite a bit 10-20% on cost of parts.

WOW 20K for EVO 3??
I have a 10k budget for the car....

 

[RENESIS VIII]

6A13TT not legal on Perdana because it requires modification of the engine mounting.

 

[DanzEterna]

WOW 20K for EVO 3??
I have a 10k budget for the car....

halfcut rm13k
SS exhaust & intercooler pipings + samco RM2k
replace wear & tear parts RM2-3k depending on how critical are the parts need to be replaced include
respraying engine bay, engine oil & gearbox oil.
wiring & engine installation - Rm700-800.

the $$ balance is just for standby.

if u bought a lemon halfcut the costs will increase.

Thanks Bro.. Really Helped a lot..
maybe I just throw my Auto and move to Manual..
For the Standard V6..
What's the best Gear box?
Any specific model?

Can the standard V6 be upgraded by after market parts?

since u have rm10k to spare, keep rm5k for the engine & another rm5k for your gearbox just incase it dies.
for manual tranny on v6, u could opt for code 232(shorter ratio, clutch plate is 8.5") or 312(longer ratio, suitable for v6tt clutch plate is 9")
make sure its complete
1.gearbox
2.gear lever complete with cable
3.3 pedals, or 2 pedals enough (brake & clutch), some shops only provide the clutch pedal only, then u gotta cut your brake rubber pedal.
4.upper & lower clutch pump
5.clutch & flywheel

above could costs u rm4.5-5.5k

there are only minor upgrades for v6,
1.custom extractor - costs rm800-1k
2.crank pulley
3.cam pulley
4.aluminium radiator

wanted to get mivec v6 head for my v6tt but the costs is equivalent to selling my v6tt engine & transplanting an evo 3 engine.

in the end sold off the car. :sleep:
