Wira 1.5 Modification

[ravis]

:( Dudes, i am kinda new here. Need expert opinion. Well, I own a Wira 1.5 areoback. Planning to change my rims to 16 inch juz like Wira Areoback Special Editon. My frens advised me to change the Extractor to Putra 4/2/1 extractor and remove the cataylic converter and change the exhaust.... then there will be no prob in terms of pick up and speed it seems lah. Is this advisible ? And guys, i am gonna add in disk brake to replace the drum brake....do i have change the arm or can i get the disk it self separately ?

since you're changing to 16 s anyways, pickup/accelaration would be compromised. Only thing that can `actually' compensate would be a more powerful engine. Stick to 15's and under if you want to keep to your ori engine, unless of course your aim is `Rice', then be my guess.

about your extractor,you should go for an aftermarket one,going for a putra header would give you some increase but always better when its aftermarket :lol:

 

[ravis]

Thank you dudes.............u guys have been really helpfull. 7urn57y13, i will consider ur advise on 15 inch rim.
L2TurboFool & Yong_5290, i was advised by some frens in Proton Edar Service Centre that a putra extractor is the best so far because of it's quality and the cooling element. Of course after market one is better but how much will it cost me ? Is the quality better then putra's original one ?

 

[L2TurboFool]

well,the putra header might be the best,but i think its the best in the OEM catagory.

the quality will vary from brands.but the quality is generally great.and there's also room for improvement.wrapping it for better cooling for instance.

i'm not sure about the price.but one more thing you should take into consideration is that what type of header you want (assuming you are going for the aftermarket ones).straight flow?or a S-flow? . 4-2-1 header? or a 4-1 header?

4-2-1 ones should be just nice for you.

;) :P

4G93 extractor on 4G15?!??! :blink: Think twice and correct me if i am wrong.

 

[thteh86]

if u wanna put a putra extractor 4G93 on a 4G15....it won't be possible

extractor, u wan a 4G15 extractor? hotbits 290 excluding installation
call me dude

putra extractor where can fit 4G15? I think the best is PowerZone. It's the best power to price ratio mod ever for me. It's rm410. Hotbits should be quite ok I guess. But heard the crome won't last and dun thermal wrap it. It has one advantage PowerZone doesn't though, it is mandrel bended.

Hmmm.... FYI, the stock Wira SE 4-2-1 extractor is mandrel-bent too. I have one on my car, considerably cheap.

The biggest difference between the PZ extractor and the SE extractor is that - you need to remove the catalytic convertor if you wish to install the PZ. And there's where the most power gain one can experience. Use the SE extractor if you can get one and replace the cat con with a bullet. You should get roughly the same power gain.

drex,

You sure the SE extractor can be used for power gain on a 4G15? i'm about to take your word for it and book one from my friend!

 

[thteh86]

normal wira using 4-1 and wira SE using 4-2-1

 

[Kusa]

thank you.

If I'm not mistaken, Powerzone's exhaust headers are flow bench lenght tuned and much work has been done to develop it for optimum exhaust gas flow scavenging.

All Wira/Satrias have 4-2-1 headers (in the case of cast iron headers from older Wira/Satria models, its actually 4-1-2-1, hence increasing the exhaust back pressure).

Dudes,
Roughly how much will it cost to purchase and install a PZ extractor while holding on to my old muffler ?

you can give it a try. Think about it, you get it at around RM120. Bullet to replace the cat con RM100 (not so sure), installation maybe around RM60. It's already RM280..

the cast iron header is actually 4-1-2-1?? sure?

The collector has a central chamber after the exhaust port runners.

Thanks dudes for ur advises, now i know that a putra extractor will not fit my car.So got to look for an after market product......gosh! & that's expensive! :unsure:
If i were to order ori extractor from Proton which the SE uses, probably i will be quoted 5 times more expensive then the after market products. Does anybdy know what would the price be ?
And dudes.........anybody know where can i get rear disk brake for my Wira 1.5, preferably without the arm & the price range please.
Thanks dudes :P
