[time2drift]

l5, hmmm... no serious prob so far. easy to maintain due to timing chain that it used instead of timing belt. u just have to maintain its oil, but the spare parts r a lil bit more expensive than l2 cos l2 can use many parts from standard kancil such as radiator,a/con compressor, etc. damn smooth engine but lacks of pick-up due to its 4cylinder engine. good for highway cruising. nice engine to have....

 

[soulfire]

manbew. how much do u get that semi sentetic oil. seem that , u had used this engine for a long time. do u used as standard engine or modi here n there?

time2drift. the engine is smooth in highway. While u maintain 140/160, the engine sound great n no tent.

heard L5 waterpump always problem?

how much for brandnew waterpump?

L5 got 2,3cyl or 4cyl,if u buy in terms of price normally 4cyl > 3cyl >= L2, the same goes to sparepart,reason L2 being cheap coz most of the sparepart cn use kancil…im using my L5 twincam 4cyl near 2yrs oledi…so far, I hv replace the metal head gasket wif new 1 (cost me close to rm400), rhf3 ball bearing turbine (cheapest I get rm450) but i heard if u kawtim wif chopshop cn get the tebo rm200-300…the disadvantages L5 hv r nt dat significant compare to L2,though L5 slightly heavier wif higher CG,but then it’s a newer engine wif better technology…looks great too…most autosaloon kancil use dis enjin…for absolute power n use less money,go for L2,but for comfort/smooth driving,go for L5 4cyl…u wont regret it…i even test my car wif two L2,1 hving LSD gbox n the other 1 normal gbox,both manual using stended turbine n boost,mine L5 auto LSD…mind u dis is based on stended boost wif all the cut still intact,in terms of accelaration i lost to the L2 hving LSD,but beyond 60km/h till 120km/h,the L5 hv some extra kick to catch up n eventually ‘potong’ those L2,nt surprise coz L5 gbox ratio has been tune for higher top speed while L2 gbox for pikap,juz wanna show u dat L5 is no ‘turtle’ in stended form...

 

[manbew]
