Swapping Mazda 3 1.6 engine to a 2.3 engine

Hi Bros,

Anybody got a good workshop to recommend within the states of Johor to Selangor for swapping of engines? I am looking at swapping out my MY 2008 Mazda 3 puny 1.6 litre engine to a 2.3 litre engine.

In MY is illegal to have engine swap size more then 25% of original....

I thought that law only applies to Protons?

All cars and in Proton case cannot change to 2.0L even though within 25%, except Perdana and Inspira, because they already have 2.0 in the line up

From legal standpoint, cannot be done due to the allowance of 25% engine capacity. (donno about kopiko-power though to have inspection "pass")
The engine can be transplanted but the brake system should be upgraded too coz the existing brakes are puny too.

Yes, donations sure can make a difference in Malaysia.

other car make limit is 30%

but proton stuck at 25% due to too many 4g63 proton accident casess so they revamped that law for proton...dayummm
