question

[eterna22]

bro...just want to ask a quick question...

what sort of daihatsu engines come in 1000cc turbo that is suitable for the myvi ?

the yrv is too expensive!

thanks guys

i an pretty blur about Myvi s. But if you're looking for a daihatsu turbo... GTTI engine CB70 is good but abit rare so iiresponsible people nowadays jack up the price unreasonably. So if you see a good buy... go get one. It would fit i suppose, as the MY front has so much space. As for the mounting.. might have to change i guess.

Btw, whuts a yrv?

 

[eterna22]

yrv= 1.3 turbo daihatsu half cut....

 

[Philip]

you wouldn't want a GTTi..only choice is a bolt on kit..

 

[eterna22]

Really ? bolt on cost too muchy!

why not the gtti ? too old ?

 

[g100s]

yup too old...pricy nowadays..parts also pricy..lastly, it doesnt suit myvi...
better opt for yrv...suits myvi VERY well...
just take ur time to gather some cash...still plenty of it and can easily be found...
just my 7cents..
kudos!

Comparing the cost of a bolt-on kit and the power produced with that of a GTti, I think the GTti halfcut is a better option.

Whilst the YRV halfcut (which is also quite pricey) is a better option, remember that the engine only comes in automatic transmission with shiftronic technology.

now i see u, speedy san!! :) yep, wit the power produced wit a bolt on, its gonna worth every penny spent on the GTti halfcut. but u have to remember, the cut is very rare. sumtimes u cant even get a unit, even if u have the dough. a bolt on, is much more simple, but costs a lot more. at least u know the engine is good to start wit compared to a halfcut

True also, so from all the points raised here, it can be summarised that there are two options:

1. Install a YRV halfcut - not sure whether engine mountings need to be modified. Driveshafts might also be a problem if the body widths are different.

2. Modify the existing engine.

how much is the YRV ?? its like 6.5k range rite ?? plus 1000 labour + parts its going to cost 7.5k if i'm lucky and 8k if i'm not so lucky...thats freakin expensive for a mod.

1.0 dvvt not worth to mod, engine not big enough, might as well use it for cutting grass.

If the engine is so lousy, why did you buy the car in the first place? Or is it your Mum/Dad's car. If it is their car, be grateful you even have a car to use. I also doubt they will agree to you modding the engine.

Any engine can be modded to produce quite a lot of power. Just depends on how much $$$ you willing to spend. If you're not willing to spend $$$, don't play with car mods.

I also wonder what the Kancil/Mira owners and the old Charade owners think of your statement.

you should standby in 10k, also for replace halfcut wear & tear parts, upgrading other parts such suspension, tyre, turbo timer, RSM, FCD, meter's etc..etc..

bro, don't looking low laa.. my kenari friend 1.0 with bolt-on turbo can play around with perdana v6

 

[eterna22]

sorry if i offended anyone... but my statement still stand. it is not worth modding compared to spending it on something else. i own the car and i have every right to say its disadvantage.

i did not have much choices when purchasing.

 

[xtremeleo]

if dats the case, i wud suggest for the yrv. iam not saying GTti isnt good, it is, but its rare even for GTti users. if u r still gonna go wit dat route, den i really wish u good luck :) i was searching for it years back, and cudnt get my hands on it. it was either too expensive, uncomplete, or sumone had taken the cut

 

[Philip]

I'm not sure about the GTTI half cut price but can I assume that the cost of buying a Gtti half cut + rebuilding it would easily cost more than a bolt on or a yrv?despite the effort you gotta put into it for finding necessary parts..

 

[gavan]

erm, one note, bolt on turbo's sounds fun, but you must remember that the engine was design for NA, means it has higher compression ratio compared to turbo engines and bolting on one might just cause the engine to blow even earlier and the life span might be shorter.

btw, the YRV i believe has the same chasis as the MYvi if im not mistaken. so what i suggest is that you consider the pro's and con's on bolting on a turbo for your system. by the way, why do you mention that when purchasing it you do no have a choice? you have a choice of either the 1.0 or the 1.3 mar......only the waiting time is the factor.... ;)

and bro, i guess this statement is not too nice, taking in the fact that you are using a newer car with a much more powerful engine compared to those here that are using a 660cc, 850cc, 1.0L soch 8valve engines and so forth, i guess your engine is pretty good already, so think before you speak. this is just like showing everyone how insensitive you are....

 

[xtremeleo]

yeah bro, hope he takes ur advice positively :) if a 1000cc dvvt isnt good enuff, den u shud definitely go for the yrv cut. a 1000cc dvvt wud be more powerful den the GTti when turbocharged imo, with good tuning. rechip the ecu, using back the dvvt functions, the pulling power gonna be awesome!! plus sum other upgrades
gavan, the way i see it, as long as u understand the limit of the setup of a particular engine, den all shud be fine. a high compression engine can take low boost beating, a kelisa wit bolt ons, boosting as low as 0.4bar, produces quite good output torque, and i hear its still running around, yea?

 

[gavan]

well, not saying it cant be done, but im saying be sensitive when mentioning bout stuff ;) some people here might not have a choice to mod their cars and might still be running a CB23 or some sort, imagine a DVVT 1.0 cutting grass? then how bout the cb23's right??

well, im just stating a point, but yes, if you have the money to spend on modding your NA to a turbo, go ahead ;) no one is stopping you, just be sure you get the right parts in with the right tuning and also the right ECU ;) you wouldnt wanna blow your engine by just instlaling a turbo now would you?? after all, changing the engine itself automatically voids its warrenty, but since you are able to do that too, i guess you must be pretty loaded, so go ahead ;) tell us the results when you are done ;) post up some pics too yeah :D
