oh ok..thanks guys..btw this car is fully stock..
and i'm thinkin of :
1) changin the exhaust system..
any advise? how many inches of the piping size is recommended?
2)stock extractor is 4-1?
3) if i wanted to convet to bpt..my stock g/box can suit bpt rite?
thanks..hope for the reply
cheers!

You either get F(96+) or G (90-95)box. G box can use BPT clutch set+flywheel.F box need to reuse old flywheel and change to race clutch.....bell housing smaller to suit BPT Flywheel. Hope this help.

ur tx3 lynx is having the BP series 1.8 n/a engine. therefore the 1.8 gearbox can be used back if you think of converting to BPT/BPD.

if u're planning to try & play with the n/a engine, below here is some suggestion u can think of:-

1. Yess...a good exhaust system from front to back. To me a 2" pipe is good enough for 1.8 dohc n/a. Ask the professionals...they can recommend u better.
2. Open pod air filter with heat shiled and cold air intake.
3. the tx3 racing clutch set.
4. lightened flywheel.
5. adjustable cam pulley.
6. APEX-i SAFC blue screen/SITC or e-manage.

and yes all the above will cost u but the power of the n/a will be delivered. when u already had fun with ur n/a and planning to swap in the bpt/bpd, all the mods above can be used back into your bpt/bpd except for flywheel & racing clutch set.

or u can turbo kit ur current engine if u want....:D

good luck.

thanks lan dugong..slurp! i'll be feelin hole in my pocket soon..haha
btw, if i'd drop in BPT, apporximately how much would it cost ,since i've already have the g/box?
and the mods u mention above is reali tempting..haha will probably start off wif and exhaust system and open pod 1st..

 

[Lan Dugong]

hmmm....drop in bpt? the market price for the halfcut now is around rm3500+/-. another labour cost maybe around rm1500. then u can use back whatever mods u have done to the n/a engine if u want.
or another option, if u dare, is to put bolt on turbokits onto your BP n/a engine, put in BPT/BPD low compression pistons, bigger injectors, high flow fuel pumps, frontmount intercooler, SAFC or e-manage...etc etc...the cost might be the same as the conversion but your engine block maintains the newer BP series as BPT/BPD series are old series. go for dyno to check for a/f ratio sufficient or not.

I almost did it to my wife's lynx 1.8auto sedan but we've decided to settle down for the NGV kit next year for cheaper consumptions.

 

[azamnecrone]
