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! 

New Intake Setup

Hi guys!

For the last 2 months, i have been thinking of changing my intake setup.After a bit of research and guidance from my mechanic, i choose to go for Mugen air-box setup which is originally made for Honda's engine.

Haven't dyno the engine so i can't share with you guys any increments (perhaps :p) figure.

So far.... i'm happy with the setup 😁

And yeah, i also relocate my battery at the back in order to give a bit more space in the bay for the intake setup. My engine bay look quite neat after the battery relocation.

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!!!!

Intake :Think Out Of The Box

Hi guys.
Sorry for the lacks of update. I'm quite busy nowadays so it is very hard for me to find time to write something. I still remember lot of 4G9X  Naturally aspirated engine user especially MIVEC always complaining that performance parts for the engine is not that much if compare to VTEC and yes.. it is true.

What i admire about the 4G9X engine user is their spirit to build the engine to be as fast as VTEC so they keep on doing research and develop custom parts for their engine and i think it is very good for the motorsport scenes.

In my country, which is Malaysia, most of the 4G9X tuner here think that one of the performance part that is lack of variety in the market for the engine is intake manifold. So, they find ways on how to upgrade it with the parts which is readily available for the market. I think they are quite creative indeed :)

Below some of the picture of 4G9X series engine using aftermarket parts which originally made for Honda and Toyota :)

 MIVEC with B-series Skunk2 Intake

 MIVEC with H-series Skunk2 Intake

4G93 with Edelbrock Performer X Intake 

MIVEC with Edelbrock Victor X Intake 

MIVEC with 4AGE Toyota ITB Intake

Creativity is the key point of this post. I think you can already guess what my next upgrade is *hint. See you in the next post :)

Comparison Between Original Skunk2 & Fake Skunk2 Intake

Hi guys.

Nowadays, we can find a lot of fake item in the market. One of it that i would like to share is Skunk2 intake. I hope with some of the photos attached in this post, we as consumer can differentiate between the real and the fake ones. This informations are very important to us, so that we wont get con by some of the untrusted sellers which sell this fake intake with the price of the original intake. Refer to the pictures below for comparison.

As you can see from the pictures above, there are a lot of differences between this two intakes. I can say that you wont get the same improvements that you will get from the original skunk2 intake with the fake skunk2 intake. You get what you pay right? But the most important thing is that i want to stress here is, preventing yourself from getting con by the untrusted sellers out there who claim that they sell the real intake but the truth is the intake that you bought is not the real one. At that time, you are already the victim.

Regards.
