advice please ~ gti?putra?

[emo]

Dudes ,
i'm new here and i need some advice..

(1)putra and gti are using 1.8 engines,but are they the same
specs? or gti more powerful?.

(2)in terms of performance(stock egine) which is the best?
their bhp? max speed? power-weight ratio?

(3)im planning to buy a second-hand either gti or putra..
a year 2000 gti price range around 45000-49000 while a
1999/2000 putra would only set me around 40000-45000..
which is more worthy?

hope to hear soon..
tq~

get the older putras, spend some cash touching it up and look for those with the ecu code '2468' apparently it has an extra slot for piggybacks that will make it easier to fit/tune.

i'm using a 97/98 putra 1.8 and am really satisfied with the performance and looks thus far.

imho, putras are a little more rare than the gtis :)

but in terms of power to weight ratio, ie. old gtis vs old putras, the older gti with mmc ecu wins because it's a few kilos lighter.

before buying, check the whole car...i mean really check the whole car! ask the dealer to remove the fenders, the boot, remove the carpets and all until u can see the spare tyre well and the sides of the boot. really do check the roof for rust as well.

good luck :)

if you need any info, PM me. :)

Hehe, have to agree with you man. Putra is the more "rarer" thing. Driving a yr 97 Putra oso. Bigger, both interior and boot space. Power more or less the same, 1 on 1 i'd say the earlier MMC GTi win it by half a car. Handling better GTi. But as u can see, the rare stuff seems to be in favour.

Just a question, how many Putra is on the road in Malaysia, anyone got the figure?

 

[menghua84]

mayb in kl putra may seem to be rare.. but in jb road.. putra is not a rare car ler.. anywhere u go u may find a lot of putra around 1.. my vote is stil for putra... nice car!

 

[sattar]

I would go for Putra. If Gti, then so many on the road, even 1.3, 1.5, 1.6 satria can be GTI'ed'.

 

[scoupe]

putra

go for the putra man. to me its the best proton ever. its got looks and power. and of course its rare.i wish i could own a putra : )

 

[boyzone]

putra ..... :D

 

[anttyk]

but in terms of power to weight ratio, ie. old gtis vs old putras, the older gti with mmc ecu wins because it's a few kilos lighter.

Dispelling Common Misconceptions

1. Putra is lighter. TRUE
2. Wheelbase is exactly the same. TRUE

Cheers!

read this link about putra M21
http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/!cs_content.research_specs?vehicle_code=19971017.13:27:41&sort_type=&current_rec=1&make_name=PROTON&model_name=M21

comparison between putra and gti

OZ putra M21 is build with head aluminium ... should be ok with turbo, better check m'sia version is aluminium or not, if not ur probably can't boost the engine, u will blow it ...

OZ M21 engine
Head material - Aluminium alloy
Block material - Cast-iron

i recommend gti NA, coz turbo in m'sia hahah ... too hot and humid ... turbo won't work correctly hahah ... in place like OZ .. cool and cold ... so better for turbo engine ... i drag win a putra in OZ with my MRS hahaha ... so slow during summer ... i actually don't know where it went ahhaha .. :D if you want to tune gti .. go search in taiwan web or forum ... they hav a 2.0L stroke up kit for sale ... make ur car lighter ... the GTi will probably can beat the shit out of 200bhp wira ... they have better traction and chasis then the putra :cool: :cool:

go carsale.com.au ... then select - research car ...
then select comparison car ...
u can compare M21 PUTRA and GTi

yup M21 is lighter than GTi ... they use the same engine block
car is all about traction ... even u have 200bhp .. no traction .. it will slower than a stock Gti ... got Gti ...

hehe.. experince the same problem with u man. putra or gti?? depends... answer these few questions and it will probably help...

which look you prefer.. sedan 2 door(putra) or hatchback 2 door(gti)

do you need boot space? yes(putra) or no(gti)
important for ppl going for crazy ICE equipment

are you willing to spend more on your car... yes(putra) or no(gti)
(to get a putra to drive like a gti... need to spend some $$$ to do up the handling of a putra... plus if u wanna go for engine mods... then both also need to spend hell alot)

you like red(gti) or black(putra) on your engine? probably not important.. gti engine cover (or whatever its called) is red while putra is black...everything else is the same.... correct me if im wrong)

you need to ferry many ppl often? yes or no
(if yes... get a 4 door la :) but the putra rear seating leg space is a little bit bigger then the gti... not much but believe me... ur frens wont complain so much)

thats all the few questions i can think of now... other then this i think no difference between the gti n putra... i ended up with a gti...

hope this helps... happy buying man~
