Suggest go to halfcut, since most of the parts from ur old car is nearly end of life.
Btw, u have few option for ur project.

1.6L engines:
1) 4G92 Mivec ~ est RM8.5K
2) 4G92 DOHC ~ est RM6K
3) 4G92 SOHC ~ est RM4k

1.8L engines:
1) 4G93 DOCH ~ est RM6.5k
2) 4G93 SOHC ~ est RM 4k

Labour cost : ~ RM1k
Puspakom & Jpj ~ RM350 for runner
Rear suspension set : RM200.
Timing belt and bearing , gasket ~ RM1k
Sound system: RM 1k


However,
I was long time no visit on halfcut shop, price might change.

Hope can help. :biggrin:
 
change car?/ : )

Rather than half cut, i would suggest BOT, im using mivec 1.8, dump in more than 15~20k and power not bad, BOT less than 7k, and u dun need to endorse engine.. to me halfcut is a headache with unknown condition of things you purchased, you would only know when you start using it...

5th gear spoiled? cant engage? i changed 1st gear and synchronizer for RM400+/-, 5th gear only should cost less than that, swap recond gb around 1~1.5k at most, then overhall engine with pnp and balancing cost less than 2k... left few hundred then get a normal head unit with normal 6x9 speaker is more than enough..
 
Depends on u mate.
If u traveling long distance all the time. i would suggest mivec 1.8 since u said ur car got lots problem. very nice feeling what...

But change car, what car would u change?
If don want headache after that, change car is better Haahaa!
 
trade in your car, down payment a new proton satria neo cps! :biggrin:

thank you for all your suggestion. i have consider to change my car, but now my financial is not possible to do that because of study fees, hmm..seems like 10k is not enough for my project. like this have to wait until next year get bonus only can proceed. it just a 4g93p can cost 10k more, if i change 4g63 than sure cost more than that.so sad...
 
Haahaa.! good luck man. Yea . there will be hidden cost of playing this engine
 
you want to project only your engine?

10k only for engine or included other things like absorbers ? interior ? tires ?

this car daily driver? you prefer NA or turbo ?

go for 4g93 DOHC or 4g92 Mivec....easy to maintain..reliable ...powerful.
 
4G93P :adore:

easy to maintain..
easy to upgrade..

does half cut come with radiator pipe?? cos the pipe is missing in the pic... : )
 
If u like the car so much, if u want cheap, just go to 4G93 Sohc, can be done as low as RM2k. But if I were u, I sell off n change to a better car. Since the car is abit outta shape, why dont give urself a change since u have as much as 10K in hand ?
 
with yr budget.. mivec 1.8 is going out the window since you need to repair the other stuff u mention as well.. plus mivec 1.8 is a hybrid engine.. u'll gonna need a piggy back or a stand alone ecu to tweaks things nicely...

if you really want to use the car for longer periods n mileage... it is economical to do an engine transplant for long run... a 4G91,92 N 93 Na should be good enough for that budget..
 
If you still study, save all the money you can. Then get a new car after 1 year of working.

Why? Because for the future..getting girlfriend...getting married..buy house..

You need a really nice car by that time..

But its also ok to own a turbocharged wira as a second car...

Just my personal opinion...
 
to be honest, 10k isn't a lot of money when it comes to car mod. 10k is just enuf for your modding engine section. In order to have a "balance" performance car, there are other area that has to be looked at (and therefore spend more money). This may include suspension system, wheels, tyres, exhaust sys. the labour, servicing for these installation, etc. If one become more enthusiatic, he may buy off-the-shelf performance parts - shifter, sport seats, harness, body braces, carbon parts etc. Again...money is needed.
Modding is unlimited, but money is, unfortunately.

so, mod your car wisely. All the best with your mods.
FYI, Kedai potong parts are getting more expensive thesedays due to high demand. shop around to get the best deal.
 
well...lets not say mod la...
wif 10k cash on hand...
u can make ur car look better with decend power....

judging from your post....
i assume dat ur interior has not much of a prob...
all u need is a new engine, gearbox + all the wiring n stuff....
wif 10k...it'll b enuf to drop in a 4g93 into ur car n run stock....

lets calculate if u were to buy a halfcut....
halfcut should cost say RM8k....
u get the engine, gearbox, wiring+ecu, dash, front n rear abs, front n rear brakes, fuel tank, if u r lucky enuf...u might get the bodyparts as well....
so....u dun need the brakes as urs already come wif front n rear disc...sell it off say RM1k.....
it makes the cost of h/cut to bcome RM7k.....
workmanship + changing other wear n tear parts + puspakom inspection.....RM2k.....
left RM1k for u to do up ur sound system....i feels its enuf to get a decent one.....

wif all these done...
all left is for ur exterior...
save up a few mths then send the car for spray....

couldnt agree more wif some of sifus here abt modding....
once u get bitten by the bug....hancur ur wallet....
so for ur case now....
just focus on dropping in the engine n let the car run 1st....
mod or not to mod....dat'll b future plans...
at least u will b putting 4g93 in....
if u put 4g91....then future u'll spend more like putting in 4g93 block, wiring n ecu...bla bla bla...
 
If u are a hunting for skills n thrills, a cheap SOHC 4G93 with pnp + highcam + piggyback already more than good enough, u can go touge n autocross.

If u just follow what other says theorically n spent on a mivec but dint learn advance skills, its a big waste of time n money.
