Mcff_1980 Neutral Newbie December 12, 2007 Share December 12, 2007 carb engine even though quite extinct, but in my opinion it is actually in no way inferior to a ecu engine. infact carb engine when well-tuned is actually more responsive than a ecu-engine late 80s/early 90s Starlets/ Concertos running normal carb engines can easily smoke the crap out of his A186, and we are not even talking about race-tuned twin-carb/ weber carb monsters!! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viviobluerex Clutched December 12, 2007 Share December 12, 2007 I remembered reading from a car mag about 01 bhp : 1cc ratio on how much power is being harvested from the engine by individual country's carmakers and that was the ratio for production cars. I dun mean other things, dun start anything. cos the old avante i use to drive feel not so bad. which is also a 1.6 think podwerful den altis. so Avante is already very good le. If I say Hyundai Stellar? What comes to your mind? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearbear1494 Clutched December 12, 2007 Share December 12, 2007 I believe the Koreans will definitely catch up in time to come. Just think that decades ago, the best components were made in USA. Japanese components were deemed cheap, unreliable & unrefined. Today, the tables have turned & the Japanese are leaders in almost every industry. I believe that the Koreans will have their day too. Compare a 1987 Hyundai Stellar Prima 2.0 & a 2004 NF Sonata 2.0. The Koreans' progress in less than 2 decades is astounding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcff_1980 Neutral Newbie December 12, 2007 Share December 12, 2007 turbocharged not very difficult to hit 190hp. for the 1.3 yrv turbo it should be able to exceed 200hp after mod Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viviobluerex Clutched December 12, 2007 Share December 12, 2007 I did alot but spent a bomb too. I am not an expert on modding. Intercooler is a must (to me), it cools the pressured air. Bars are a measurement of Boost PSi...force of the pressure...etc. can share with u in private all the things that I had done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcff_1980 Neutral Newbie December 12, 2007 Share December 12, 2007 actually maybe we should stop critising the A186, afterall it is still a decent car for daily transport. the problem lies with the idiotic driver Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcff_1980 Neutral Newbie December 12, 2007 Share December 12, 2007 erm.. i never play turbo yet not very sure la.. haha! but surely upsize your intercooler, upsize turbo, then maybe strengthen your block and upsize your injectors? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearbear1494 Clutched December 12, 2007 Share December 12, 2007 Given the 190hp, I believe already includes uprated fuel pump, injectors, turbine, intercooler, polished cylinder head, probably upgraded pistons & rings, lightened crankshaft, head gasket & probably standalone ECU. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
