anyone???
where all 1.6 owners gone??? :ph34r: :ph34r:

 

[miveccom]

Ye amad..

I also want to change my suspension. Currently using std at front (donno wat brand) and monroe senstronic at back..Need to change as they r already 2 years old..Saw at accesorry shop-kakimotor HWL adjustable at RM1680..Is that brand ok ka?.. :ph34r:

 

[amad108..]

HWL is ok, but i think TITAN is the best... ;)

 

[muncee]

Currrently I'm using Tein S-tech Spring with stock absorber at the front and monroe shock at rear. Juz bought the spring last month, however... feel the rebound very strong....like bouncing all the way when driving at kesas. Question is..... is it probably due to the absorber cannot match the spring or is it because front and rear diff absorber on the same spring give an uneven rebound or other reason. Wat should i do if i wan to keep the spring? Will changing the absorber helps? Need to change all four?

I'm really an amatuer in suspension, hope u guys can give some comments.
Thanks in advance

 

[amad108..]

muncee..
i think for ur case, the spring still new so that why u got uneven rebound and futhermore the brand is famous... the sport spring usually design to get lower and harder damping so i think that is good thing u got uneven rebound... n also is TEIN ma.. hehe

for along term that spring can take care the absorber so the damping always attack spring first then absorber... ;)

correct me if i'm wrong..

Hello,

old springs will sag, but new springs wont make bounce or rebound be uneven. If not no one would bother. Springs DO NOT control damping. Thats what shocks are for. Shocks control the bounce and the rebound. Problem with muncee's car is that the shocks arent a match for the springs. The shocks arent compensating for the rebound. Shocks and springs work hand in hand. something like if you got a lousy amplifier, your subwoofers wont be optimised and vice versa.

Most probably the rear Monroe shocks are for OE springs, and these do not work with shorter sports springs. Get those uprated shocks - in other words, spend money, buy koni, improve, tein, gab, shocks MADE for sports springs (or those that are at least 30% firmer). Furthermore, monroes tend to work great for standard cars on stock springs. Too much comfort too little performance.

Regards

 

[muncee]

Today i went back to the place where i bought my TEIN. I tell them my problem and ask for solution. After confirming they springs are installed correctly, they test drive my car. They said the problem is due to the absorber. Front absorber is "about to" kong, thus cannot handle the spring damping and rebound. Dunno true or not lar.

And also, they said my car is actually not that bad, sport spring is like that... rebound faster than stock spring, thus better cornering. But i still feel not comfortable enuf.

Btw, wat is the diff between monroe reflex and sensatrac? which one is better?

when i brought my cars.. fit wif std kayaba gas + 1.8 stock spring

- after dad i change to KIMEX wif stock kayaba gas.. using around 1 year.. my car too lowered( less 1 finger gap0 .. and inbound rate between all abs are different( after 8 month) ...

- after that i change wif KAYABA RS + APM spring (black) .. not too good combination .. coz my car is a/back(rear to heavy).. using around 1 year..

- change to APM adj hi/lo .. best maa...

- now using KONI adj hi/lo /soft/hard.. i can adjust what ever lowered i want..

next plan... trade in.. or buy TEIN type RA

Dear all 4G92P user,

Congrats you all on this thread. Infomation overwhelming and centralize on 1.6 Wira. I have a question to ask. I am about to go for a top overhaul on my Wira 1.6 because the head gasket is leacking out oil from my engine. I was thinking about the DOHC head conversion as discuss in zerotohundred.com few month ago i think. I just want to find out what do i need for the conversion. My list is

4G91 1.5 DOHC head or 4G93P DOHC head ( have not go into search for it yet )
Gasket ( what gasket to use )
Timinig Belt ( ??? which one )
the rest of stuff i have no idea what else... that is how confused i am.

My mechannic is not familair with this kind of conversion so need advise from you guys whom has experience in this conversion. If possible tell me what part is needed for it. Btw, my car is a Auto. If possible, PM me with your recommendation. or even post it here for future archive

Cheers and thanks

 

[riggy]

Dear all 4G92P user,

4G91 1.5 DOHC head or 4G93P DOHC head ( have not go into search for it yet )

-Get the 93 head, - bigger ports (like porting), however, you may need to find a mechanic/machine shop to skim it and get the correct compression ratio. to at least 10.6:1

Gasket ( what gasket to use )

- use one that doesn't leak :D
okay, anything original will suffice.

Timinig Belt ( ??? which one )

- as above - however, the cost for the new head will cost you a diff belt, which costs about rm100 more than the single cam.

the rest of stuff i have no idea what else... that is how confused i am.

- Technically its possible to run the single distributor from the 1.6, with some shimming to the distributor mounting, (the dohc runs twin coils). but its okay to run withthe 1.6 ones.

Being an auto (like mine) is not a problem. However, i've only ported my head as i feel its not worth the extra cost for now (a dohc head can cost up to 800.00 w/o the workmanship for now). not to mention the extra cost upon changing timing belts. However, the TC head does release up to 8bhp as its more efficient. why more efficient? basically one cam works on opening, one on closing, the timing is more precise, and there is weight saving on the rotating parts - no extra rocker arms to work (a 50g weight saving on rotating mass is actually more important than 50g saved elsewhere)

regards/

 

[amad108..]

my freind really know about this kind of conversion, he really expert in 4G9x series coz he do it by himself... if u interested i will give his phone number for u..

i also try already but not power as my original one, but if u want use 4G91 or 4G93 head injection must using thier wiring+ecu coz both engine distributerless... more cost when involving wiring man...

n futhermore, i have done use 4G91 carb head but cannot fit the distributter from my original one coz 1.6 distributer not same....
