Turbo I also want!... but later, just bled profusely lately, gearbox kaboom.

By the way about my intention to relocate battery, I was advised against it: cable no good cannot start, possible in-cabin intoxication of acidic gases. I think also true, my children safety first.

turbo turbo turbo. wakakaka..

anyway, my battery is in the boot since 2010.
no problem with engine start, using the thick 300A welding cable and put starter relay to help with cold start.

and i dont think have any in-cabin intoxication. but what are the symptoms?
u can always find a 'battery box' to put the battery in.
i'm actually looking for one now..

I'm not sure of any symptom since I have not experience such gases yet, as there are vent-holes on the battery for pressure releasing, gases I presumed hydrogen or sulfuric gases which might accumulate in the boot and permeate to the cabin. yes I think if cabling is done well should not have any starting problem. So you have not had any cold start problem caused by the relocation? What grade battery you are using - NS60 or NS70?

previously using Bosch S4 NS70 which lasted me 3 years.
recently changed to Century Ultramax NS70.

i had a cold start problem early last year.
but since i put starter relay, the problem gone.

Anyone use 6A13TT? This engine is cheap to buy compared to 6A12TT or 4G63T.
Could you guys shed some light on:
1. Can fit Perdana chassis?
2. parts availability
3. Does it come with manual gearbox?

 

[hamtaro00]

some smart guys even plonk 6a13tt onto a waja. got video at utube.but the radiator fan very close to the manifold la. for perdana i think should have enough space to do so. In general and IMHO, almost all engine can be mounted on diff car, just see if its road-worthy after that or safe blablabla only.

manual GB of course. got to shop around. Big warehouse like Mun Lee tend to have more rare stuff in stock

yes able to fit but difficult when it comes to endorsement. ive only known 1 person that has legally done it. passed puspakom.

It is illegal because of unmatched mounting points? The 0.5L engine capacity difference is still within allowed limit, right?

Too bad this can't be done legally. The fact that 6A13TT pushes 270hp in stock form makes me drooling, I heard there is virtually no turbo lag with its small TD03. Too bad, too bad...

 

[NeuroOne]

i know 3 ppl who did it.
one is the one Danz mentioned which passed puspakom.
the other 2 'hati kering'. hehe..
the engine fits nicely with very minimal space.

frankly, the cc upgrade should be legal. from V6 1998cc to 2498cc.
but the chassis mounting location is not suitable.
so, based on jpj rules, it's illegal to do such mod.
engine parts availability is low, very hard to get coz not much car can fit it.
yes, it comes in either 5sp manual or 5sp tiptronic auto.
the auto is easier to get.

 

[DanzEterna]

the person who did it had his mountings done @ proton with a letter issued by them. therefore able to pass puspakom.

hi guys,

had missing in action for quite a while.

wanna ask, has anyone tried apm performax absorber and sport spring in their perdana?
was recommended by my mechanic.

existing is stock absorber, with sport spring.

problem that i faced, poor handling..
after 160km, i feel the car is floating.. i wanted more handling on road..
cornering is poor and no confident.. nothing compared to my savvy.

the damage for performax and spring is at Rm1K for all.

better get adjustable susupension..

Second that. Don't lower your car if possible.

Kurt, want good cornering, get the bras.

 

[NeuroOne]

u have to lower ur car for better top speed and better cornering.
its all about lower centre of gravity.
but not too low la.

and to add to better cornering, get thicker Anti-Roll Bar (ARB).
change the rear first, then the front.
also, get the strut bar (front and rear).

Bras? haha
car wear bras too?

so an ARB is a better investment compare to absorber and spring?

mine not that low, front 2 fingers, rear, 4

Damn... bra typo... bar.

Perdana v6 stock front arb 18.2mm vs UR 20mm doesn't have much performance advantage. If they have 22mm one is different story. UR rear arb 19mm vs stock 12mm has significant difference. Just upgrade rear arb and leave the front arb as stock and save the $ for sometime else. Your ride cornering ability should improve significantly when complemented with fender bars.

Adjustable suspension is a must have if you're serious with handling.

Previously my ride height was negative 1 finger front, raised to +1 finger. Now raised again to +3 fingers stock height. No more problems with drive shaft vibration and got better tyre-friendly camber. Though missing the killer stance look but still not bad.

that was sure easy to understand.

know anyone that selling their rear arb?
