Perdana Engine Conversion Help

[DanzEterna]

yeah bro...
get a manual twin turbo, but must look for reliable workshops that does the
conversion, not advisable to buy yr engine from half cut shops & convert the engine in workshop. Get the workshop owner or mechanic to give some advise & let them buy the engine. It may cost slightly higher but there will be
warranty if any technical problem arises in the future.

[DanzEterna]

yala....its not that expensive to maintain a v6,
but advisable to service car every 6-7k km (using full synthetic engine oil)
for gearbox, advisable also same time when changing engine oil, but mine manual, so change every 10k km.

since this topic is about Perdana Engine convertion/swap...so i want to ask few Qs.

What if put EVO 1-3 in perdana ? Have to modify mounting or not ? Any major modification needed ? What about JPJ/registration ? Is it hard to register these engines ?

Ok, if no problem with the engine...so, what's the price of these halfcut now (roughly la) ?

1. EVO 1
2. EVO 2
3. EVO 3

thanks in advance

vince Terrence,
yeah yr right, i do learn alot bout our v6's in this forum...im using caltex full synthetic but plan to use full synthitic shell helix, heard alot of good comments bout it.

flamefox850,
if wanna convert VR4, Evo 1-3, Perdana SEi Conversion would be best
cos the engine mountings are the same, but if for v6 convert VR4, Evo 1-3,
must modify or totally change the mountings,

if convert eterna twin turbo for sei of v6 should be no problem..

[vince_terrence]

danzeterna:i never try fully synthetic oil on my car,coz its a old car,so my fren advise me not to put on it.but i try b4 the shell helix full synthetic on my pld iswara,n the result is suck.coz the oil is too light so i feel the oil is buring off every time i check the enjin oil.so start frm this car i dun use fully synthetic le.by the way,there are lots of immatation shell helix fully synthetic in the market,somemore got underground oso.last time my fren offer me only rm90 per bottle.so i dun trust on this fake thing.hahaha,just my opinion,correct it if im wrong.

 

[DanzEterna]

vince,
actually it is not neccessary to use fully synthetic oil for old car, unless bought brand new, but i still use full synthetic. u mean there are fake shell oils out there? thats crap man....even if they selling dirt cheap or free i wont use it.....if its smuggled they different story la, i even tried using X1R for my corolla LE 1984, i thought it works, it ended up screwing up my engine, had to done major overhaul on my car....damn....from that day onwards will not use it on any of my car. But will try decarbonizing though...hopefully it works...if it screws up my engine then change to VR4 la...hehe...

Fine Tq...
I was looking for perdana TT or Evo3 soooo long...
At last, decide to put in Evo3 to my putra. But.....has to think back because I heard a lot say that its difficult to get approval & endorse nowadays...
Unless, my ride is Perdana...hmm.........

 

[vince_terrence]

haha bro danz,ya when the enjin is gong then change to tt.im oso plan to do that.ya in the market there are lot of oem enjin oil.one of my fren was a dealer for the motor oil.when he told me they can oso made the enjin oil by oem.so beware for the workshop,just dun buy the cheap enjin oil then u get safe

vince...
i usually buy engine oil from petrol stations...at least i could trust them,
ive been doin this for fews years already. few years back, when i was using my satria gti, i serviced at my frens workshop, i had no time to buy engine oil, so i bought the oil & serviced at his workshop & gave me a discount, he said "member ma...so bagi kurang sikit la".... when the mechanic pour the oil into my engine, he stopped leaving approx 1 litre in the bottle, the fella only use 3 litre of the oil...the balance 1 litre he kept it....i asked him y never finish it? the mechanic told me that actually i only paid for 3 litres not 4...
no wonder he gave me cheaper....wat a con man....from that day onwards, i did not go there anymore....found a better workshop now...

karl5511,
i duno whether can endorse yr engine from 1.8 - 2.0 or not...nowdays jpj scared to mkn duit kopi.....cos BPR (Badan Pencegah Rasuah) are keeping an eye on them, for example, if u go to jpj, actually they are BPR officers there undercover acting as customers/runners trying to catch jpj officers who take bribes...
anyways bro..sell yr putra & buy a perdana TT onli la...better sell yr car before end of this year cos next year yr car will be older....value will be lesser
