Ok so the JC is too rare.. and the L5 is unreliable once u do a turbo mod.. err any other options?
get a JB-DET + ct9 turbo, that simple mod can get 160++ whp

jc-det engine is very rare to get and yet the price is like buying b16a halfcut.. there's only one person at mudah sell only engine 'kosong" of jc-det which is already 8k. your L5 jb-jl/det is tunable but yet has its limit due to hard to find performance parts. but L5 achieving 140 to 160 whp is no alien to others.. u just need to get the right parts and the right tuners.

Hahah. I thinn I have not mentioned that I need a engine which requires any endorsement. My car aint passing shit..hahaha. so looks like my choice is pretty limited huh?..
You mean you need an engine that requires no endorsement? Don't get u bro.
No no.. I mean my car cannot be endorsed anymore.. I need to work within a engine that does not require any endorsement.. as im already on the jbjl so I need to consider that problem


If so... go for gtti or yrv engine lor... baru gila kuasa :D
# Replied via Tapatalk on my mobile. Apologies for typos & brevity
lemme give you a secret,
after i change to engine lantai last year... never bothered to register since it's the same
so go for JB-DET or JC-DET... from the outlook, it'll still the same...
so no worries JPJ kacau wan...
* but need to wear standard kancil bodikit lor*![]()
If L5 bodykit sure kena stop
As much as I would like to reverse its no more a option oredi. You guys seen my car right? The kit is a built into the frame.. especially the rear segment.. moreover my new wheel tracks makes it even more impossible to move back..
If a properly done up L5.. whatever that means.. to say 120whp, would it still be reliable? Im not going to drive it everyday rather off and on, but I have a habit of hammering the engine hard when I drive. Also when tune up does using ron97 help? Cause im already on Ron 97 full on my other car then might as well just go the same with the kancil just to be safe.
Also what would be the best piggyback comp to use on the jbjl.
Anyway just a lil explaination of why I "require" to have at least a 120whp engine.. well im running a full wide body kancil, previously was running a complete stretch 165/40 16 which handles like crap and I was on this humongous spacer (75mm). Now im completely rebuilding the lower arm to accomodate a proton waja hub with a additional 100-120mm wheel track and later to getting custom shocks fitted in. Moreover im switching to 195/50 r15.. which can be quite a drag if the engine is not powerful enough. You all know la when the car is stable and not powerful then it will feel extra slow..








if u want to stick to ur current engine, maybe dump in TD04-09, larger fuel pump, detomaso injector, piggyback n tune up sure work..
or if u dont want to, get a kelisa BOT or if u crazy enuf get YRV to fit.. YRV sure fit but need to hammer here n there and cut some part..


@kennyyeoh:
So far, majority of the times JB series are quite reliable up to 150whp... even though you whack it hard, you're not daily driven it, so just ensure
- Cooling requirements are well taken care off. as per Supra_Fanatics recommended, a thicker aluminium radiator with low temp thermostat will do wonders... oil cooler is a great addition
- ensure engine warm enough before whacking it, better install a good water temp meter with warning buzzer just to be sure. install a oil temp meter if oil cooler is installed
- change engine oil, if daily drive follow 5k mileage... if not, follow 3 months duration... use good quality full-synth engine oil
these so-called "stage 0" modifications are vital for any hi performance engines
per pigyback, remembered that JB-JL has 2 setbacks in term of tunability
- TPS only sees "on" and "off"... unlike JB-DET or newer that can see throttle openings at % value
- ignition still separately controlled by the distributor
my sifu once said, get emanage or unichip as a great investment.... although its pretty useless in tuning against TPS and/or ignition... but still these can accomodate wider rev bands... plus it'll continue to be usefull if swapping to the DET or even better, a JC-DET
or, if money no objects, get a JB-DET intake manifold + TPS and tune it using standalone like haltech/microtech etc...

@Supra_Fanatics
EF-DET + kelisa block + CT9 turbo + standalone =
ah yes, td04-09b... best turbo with wide range of torque for keicar... regardless of cylinder counts
with a hammer you say? beginning to visualize as jeremy clarkson![]()
Thanks! 
So check list for now if I dont decide to change the engine will be to go...
1. TD04-09
2. Larger fuel pump (any recommendation?)
3. Detomaso Injectors (cc?)
4. Piggy Back (Emanage - blue or gold?)
5. Synergy aluminum Radiator
6. Low temp thermostat.
7. Oil Cooler.
8. Full synth oil (recommendations?)
