Thank you and see you in the next post!

Proton Satria 4g93 MIVEC in 2021

Hi guys!

In this post, I just want to wish Happy New Year to all of my beloved blog readers. Thank you so much for supporting me through this blog. Getting feedback from you guys means a lot to me. Its been 12 years since I start blogging. I will keep this blog updated soooo stay tuned guys 😎

My Blue Shinkansen 2021

Need to repair my carbon fiber hood as the clear coat starts to peel off and faded. Collecting money for this project. hehe....

The heart of my Proton Satria: The 4g93 MIVEC. No major upgrade for the past few years, just replacing wear and tear to make the car running fine.

Current Engine Setup:

• Mitsubishi 4g92 MIVEC Cylinder head
• Mitsubishi 4g93 Engine Block upgraded with 82mm high compression piston and race bearing
• Matspeed 306in/304ex race camshaft with Aerospeed Adjustable camshaft pulley 
• MIVEC Blacktop ECU with Greddy Emanage piggyback ECU
• Skunk2 Intake Manifold with Super90 70mm Throttle Body + Mugen Airbox filter setup
• Cusco 4-2-1 Header with 2.3 inch piping follow original route with S-flow type muffler
• AVS 255 LPH fuel pump with Works Engineering adjustable fuel pressure regulator
• NGK R09 Power Cables with NGK BKR6E-11 spark plugs.
• Greddy 3 layer Aluminum radiator with Samco hoses.

Still keep the same engine setup since the engine rebuilt back in 2014. Just replacing my fuel pump from Walbro to AVS since the Walbro fuel pump gave me problem. Other than that, replacing the spark plugs from NGK Iriway to normal one... due to budget. hehe..... Might change to a better one later 👌

By the way, that's all for now. See you guys in the next post! 

Proton Satria Mivec 4 Throttle

Hi Guys!

Nothing much for this post but I would like to share some of the cool video that I found from YouTube. From the video, the Proton Satria has been transplanted with MIVEC engine from Mitsubishi. What makes this build up different from other MIVEC setup is the use of individual throttle bodies on each cylinder. What a setup! Enough with the blabbering lets us go straight to the video 😆

I have been dreaming to use ITBs on my 4g93 MIVEC setup but still contemplated because I know that it is very hard to tune. If the tuner is not 'experienced' enough, the engine will make lesser horsepower output if compared to a normal intake setup. So for now I will stay with my current setup (Skunk2 Intake) and wait until I found the right parts and budget for this kind of setup.

See you in the next post!

Reservoir Tank Covers

Hi Guys! 10 years back, which is on September 2010, I bought pairs of reservoir cover for the brake reservoir tank and power steering reservoir tank. You can read it back here

And today, I bought again the reservoir tank cover since the one that I bought was torn and very bad in shape. At first I was looking for Ralliart covers which is sold in my country but I unable to locate it. Most covers that is sold in my country is small in size and not to my liking. So after few hours of online windows shopping, I managed to find the correct size which I was looking for. Without delay, I clicked on the "Buy Now" button 😝. After few days of waiting then the covers delivered to my doorstep and quickly I covered the naked reservoir tank. One word, satisfied! LoL.

blue is my favorite color actually... haha....

oh yes, change to newer and fancy bolts and washers on my MIVEC cylinder head top cover because.... why not? 😆

to install it is as easy as you wearing socks... lol

voila! my HKS reservoir tank cover and Password JDM dress up bolts and washers

Again, some of you might be thinking what is the function of it right? Well if you asked  me then my humble answer is for the wow effect in the engine bay 😂. By the way, the function is actually to absorb fluid from brake and clutch reservoir that may escape and spill into the engine bay or road under hard driving/braking.

Thank you and see yo guys in the next post.

 Hi Guys!

Its beeeeen a long time from my last post. Hehe... Hopefully some of you who is this blog followers still use this blog as a reference for 4G9X series engine information.

By the way, below are some of the MIVEC ecu codes that I able to locate and share to you:

Silvertop ECU: 4828

Blacktop ECU: 7035

Silvertop MD ECU: 4829

Blacktop MD ECU: 7036

Engine Rebuild. Completed.

Hi Guys!

I took my car today from the garage. Finally the project is completed.

By the way, i still remember that last engine rebuild/overhaul was done back in May 2009. During 2009, my project was quite crazy..  using VTEC parts etc. Yeah, I'm quite crazy at that time. Wanna try new things. HEHE.

For 2014, no more crazy project like last time. Using back all 4G93 and MIVEC parts. Bought back 4G93 connecting rods and crankshaft ( because i sold my rods and crank to a person from oversea back in 2010 TT ). Change my VTEC 81mm piston to MIVEC 82mm over-sized high compression piston. Other parts can be seen from my previous post...

My 1.9L MIVEC (1881cc)

By the way, this is my valve cover/rocker cover. Look quite nice with the wrinkle effect right? :p HEHE

spray with Gox7 wrinkle spray.....

A closer view of the texture............

All i can say, i am very happy with the new setup. After breaking in the engine ( using dyno machine to break-in the engine... thanks to the technology :p), My mechanic did dyno tuning to the engine. Seriously i am very happy to see the horsepower gains (secret :p). The response is astonishing!

Voila!!!!

My 2014 Engine Specification:

4G92 MIVEC Cylinder Head (skimmed).

4G93 Engine Block (Bore to fit over-sized piston)

Toto 82mm MIVEC Pistons

ACL Race Bearings

Matspeed Camshaft

Arospeed Camshaft Pulley

NGK Power Cables

NGK Iridium Plugs

Skunk 2 Intake Manifold

Super 90 70mm Throttle Body

Cusco 4-2-1 Header

Works Engineering Adjustable Fuel Regulator

Walbro 255lph Fuel Pump

HKS Aluminium Radiator

Samco Hoses

Thanks for reading guys! Next modification? Well See you in the next post :P

Engine Rebuild. Work In Progress: Part 2

Hi guys.

The overhauling project is almost done. Below are some of the pictures that i managed to capture and share with you readers!

When i went to the garage, the engine is already inside the engine bay... as you can see above.

bring me back to life!!! :P 

And yeah. Upgrade my fuel pump to aftermarket fuel pump from Walbro. Why? because it is time to change my stock fuel pump with a better one. Other than that, the Walbro fuel pump has a higher flow rate than my current pump. It is capable of providing additional fuel to the injectors when necessary, preventing fuel under-run.

Walbro 255 lph in-tank fuel pump.....

Since my valve cover looks soooo bad (as you can see from the first two pictures above).. i asked my mechanic to help me to respray back the rocker cover. I really love the wrinkle effect which can be seen in most of Honda Vtec valve cover, so i search on the internet and i managed to get the spray can that i was looking for. 

Gox7 Winkle Blue color + Gox7 Primer/Undercoat. 

Stay tuned for more!!!

Regards!

Engine Rebuild. Work In Progress : Part 1

Hi Guys!

Just wanna share with you guys some update on my engine rebuilding :)

All necessary parts for the engine block:

ACL Race Engine Bearing this time for main & rod, ACL Thrust Washer and  RIK piston rings. 

As mentioned in the previous post, i want to change my engine setup from using P30 VTEC piston to 82mm oversized MIVEC piston.

bye bye p30 piston......

high compression TOTO piston (http://www.totopiston.co.kr/toto/index.html). 82mm in size (stock piston size is 81mm). No budget for WISECO/CP piston ( T T )

Dont want to expose my timing belt this time. Lesson Learnt. HAHA. 

HKS transparent timing belt cover.

Since i was working during the internal parts installation, i did not managed to snap pictures of the process. 

Below are some picture of the installation process:

4g93 connecting rods (last time using P30 VTEC connecting rods) , crankshaft and pistons are all inside the rebored engine block.......

look at the piston dome...yeah....high compression setup. yummyyyy :P 

bottom part. almost done. 

delicious.....................

engine block. 

AGAIN.. i was working during cylinder head rebuilding process.... SO these are the only pictures that i can share (T T)

change all the necessary parts for the cylinder head (new timing belt, seals, grind valve etc)

so fresh so clean....

The work is still in progress. Stay tuned for more readers!!! 

Regards.

April 2013 Engine Setup

Hi guys!

Its been a looooooonnnggg time since last update. By the way, I've just change my small aluminium radiator to big 3 layers full aluminium radiator.

Next i might change to new header because the current 4-1 R3 header got crack inside. Still thinking which header setup should i go for. Whether to stick with 4-1 setup or 4-2-1 Cusco or maybe 4-2-1 Hytech design........ Any recommendation guys?

Regards.

A Little of Update

Hi guys :)

I would like to wish all my moslem reader, happy fasting in the holy month of Ramadhan. So back to the topic, here are some updates on my ride.

Change to a new lower arm for both sides (sorry i forgot to take pictures) since i spotted bent on my rear lower arm. Other than that, i installed Ultra Racing rear lower arm bar (picture above) to replace the old one. Seriously i can say the Ultra Racing is much more better in giving me better ride handling since the bar is much more thicker than my previous 'no brand' bar.

Other than that, after much consideration, i revert back to standard MIVEC air box after using custom direct cold air intake without any filter in it. Maybe i'm getting older? LOL

By the way, sorry for the lack of update. Thank a million for those who still following this blog. I will update it from time to time.

Regards!

My 4g93 MIVEC

Hi guys, Took a video of my engine :)

Exterior Updates

Hi guys!

For the past few weeks, I think I've been attacked by sticker bomb syndrome. I cannot help myself soooo...this is what i did to my R3 Stage 3 Front Lips :P

R3 Stage 3 Front Lips.. flat black in color....hmmm.... it looks dull actually.. gotta do something! 

some of the process .. measured the lips and then cut the sticker to the calculated measurements... using high quality vinyl with UV protection :) 

clean the lips from any dust etc.......

paste it part by part.. took 3 hours to finish this job....

Opsss.. before i forgot.... i also change my lug nuts to Rays Duralumin Lug Nuts. Very Lightweight if compared to stock lug nuts.

Other than that, i changed to a new set of tires. I chose Yokohama Parada Spec 2 this time. Good grip i can say :)

And below.... The final picture for this post. My new exterior look :) 

FUNKY and i like it... for now :P 

Regards. 

Race-Tech Smooth Shift

Hi guys!

I have a problem.. which is,  everytime i shift between gear (especially on high rpm) , i always miss shift. This is bad!  ... so i searched through forums and articles of what can i do to have a better feeling when i change between gears. This are what i found.: change to a better shift bushing linkage kit and short/quick shifter.

Luckily in Malaysia, i can get it easyily since Race-Tech Produce this linkage bushing which is called Race-Tech Smooth Shift. So i guess why not?

the packaging....

The Race-TECH Smooth Shift is made out of top quality aluminum with Aeronautics quality T-6061 and CNC to the finest available clearance to eliminate excessive free play on the gear lever linkage.

installed!

another one installed !

Result? YES! It does do wonders! Better feeling during gear changes! Smooth shift and feel solid too. Recommended for those who are facing miss-shift problem ... like me :P The price is affordable. MYR110. Maybe next i will upgrade to short shifter... when i have the budget :P 

Regards.
