so muffler is together with exhaust ? i dun really know those part. Real life face to face teach is better than teach in the net. Net teaching = Confusing. Face 2 face= easier.

Hi Guys,

HOpe u guys can provide me wit some feedback, as now my car when driving at the speed of 120kph, at 5th gear the rpm is more than 4k rpm. Is that normal or wat?? I converted my car to manual as it use to be auto. Last time when i was at 120kph(auto), my rpm was around 3k+ rpm oni.

Hope u guys can tell me whether its normal and provide some advise.

Thank,
Regards.

mine 100km/h is at 3k rpm and 120km/h is at 3.5k rpm... your manual gearbox is from wat car?

in this case i believe the car fuel consumption can be high...


cheers

Not sure from wat car exactly, but its the same with putra and satria gti's GB i was told. I retest it again just now, went up to 120kph, is at more than 3.5krpm for sure.

the best i think check with your mechanic why is tat happening... get second opinion as well if possible... i know ppl who convert their waja auto to lancer 1.6 manual gearbox but it seems no problem for them...

perhaps any sifu here can advise...


cheers

hi riggy,

thanks for the info... are u using koni adjustable or just absober? just curious if the koni got problem, where can we go for repair?


cheers

koni adjustables are the shock absorbers. If you mean COILOVERS, yes, i've modified the fronts to full coilovers with koni adjustable shocks, rear using the koni grooves to adjust the ride height together with a slightly stiffer spring.

Unfortunately for koni, no one seems to be able to service them as far as i know. but usually the konis should last at least 150,000km without problems. Mine has been going on strong for almost 80,000km.

regards

r u sure it was from putra or satria gti? if 120kmh is more then 3.5k, i think its the 1.5 manual GB..check back with ur mech la..for me i cant give further comments cos driving with auto tranny..120kmh around 3k - 3.5k i guess..

 

[ashnaz]

i have been to diff mechanics and all of them told me that 1.6 engines cannot use 1.3/1.5 GB. But instead the gearbox that 1.6 wiras is using are compatible wit putra's and satrias 1.6 above. I think i better get back to my mechanic this weekend to rectify the problem.

Thanks anyway encikmasen...btw, do all u 1.6ers owners got TT one or not??

 

[Shinjite]

I wish to get a GTI GB at least for my Wira....I don't like the auto GB

 

[pifecto14]

Shinjite: Your auto GB also got problem?? If ur using 1.6 above, then u confirm have to get GB which Putra/GTI are using. As they are compatible to wira/satria 1.6 engines. But very expensive nowadays.

 

[Shinjite]

My 1.6 auto GB still works like a charm, just that I prefer manual thats all....:)

 

[miveccom]

i use mivec gb..same la 3 rpm 100km/h..

hi,

as usual try to see whether your throttle position switch/sensor is not sticky and does not want to return to where it should.

SECONDLY, which i think may be the reason is the master relay for the computer box (located behind your center console/radio area). Sometimes, if this is faulty, the symtoms you said may happen. This is a RM100 +- problem to fix.

THIRDLY, your distributor coil is on the way out. This is in the mid RM400-600 depending on your luck. It could cost more, or less depending whether its brand new, reconditioned or second hand.

MIVECCOM: i dont think HWL can service Konis. The reason is that no one in Malaysia has the service kits. Last I checked, even they dont service koni.

cheers

so far i use it ok la compare to its price and quality..if i got more money i would choose/buy cusco coz R&D is better (use in mitsu rally car i not mistaken)

I got it from acc shop in puchong (as publish in kereta mag)
