Proton Perdana V6 (Originally powered by a 6A12NA)
The original engine in my car is a 6A12NA (Naturally Aspirated) with a 4-speed automatic gearbox (that is prone to failure). As expected, it tooks only 2 years for it to fail after I bought the car (brand spanking new) from Proton Edar. Straight away, I replaced the gearbox with a 5-speed manual gearbox (Code: 222-VVVF) from a Mitsubishi Eterna halfcut to make sure I don't get a 2nd headache. Torque increased can be felt as there was no more 'torque converter' in action.
Lots of Proton Perdanas (mostly powered by 6A12NA, 6A12TT, 4G63 & 4G63T engine)
In my younger days, frequently I imagined of owning a Nissan Skyline R34 GTR (Godzilla). Until today, I don't think I can really afford it. Maybe I can buy the car and pay the monthly installment without any problem, but the maintenance will cause me *huge headache*. Better if I save up first and buy the latest GTR in future.
In the meantime, to fulfill my hunger for monstrous torque and breakneck acceleration, I decided to drop in this legendary engine to my car.
4G63T (from the Mitsubishi Evolution II GSR)
Horsepower: 260 BHP at 6000 RPM
Torque: 309 Nm
0-100kmh: 5.0 seconds
Top speed: Limited to 180 km/h (but I remove the speed cut and able to reach 240 km/h before I backed down on the throttle, *gulp*)
After two months of driving my car with this new powerplant, I can say that, I had made the right move of choosing it over 6A12TT (from Mitsubishi Eterna Twin Turbo). At the same time, my engine comes with a LSD gearbox (WPWE) which helps to propel the car to a blurry speed in just several eyeblinks.
YES, it is that fast, sometimes a bit scary but that is part of the thrill in owning a 4G63T. The beginning of an EVOlution.
