I already see myvi with bolt on turbo, but i don’t know how they set the turbo bar,maybe below 1.0 bar. Some said the piston must change to racing piston,some said better change the engine.

I think Kuala Kubu (Selangor) to Raub (Pahang) route is the craziest and toughest and Tapah (Perak) to Kg Raja (Kelantan) route is much tougher than Tamparuli- Ranau route or Tambunan-Ranau or the original Tenom road. And much tougher than Initial D route. I’ve driven most of Malaysian road (except for Bintulu-Limbang). From my experience, MyVi has one of the worst cornering ability for new cars considering the high COG. Turbocharging is not a very wise consideration as pressing the accelerator during cornering will tend to understeer the car very-very bad. Using K3-VE alone is already bad let alone using K3-VET.

Yes, turbocharging will help overtaking and hillclimbs, but MyVi can never be considered and never will become a sporty car as for the handling. (The handling is OK for beginners and ladies but not for high adrenaline drivers. Not agree with me? Take our MyVi to MME or Sepang 1000km and may be it will take us 3 and a half minutes to do a full lap)

Hi guys,
Dvvt, Vvti, etc..kinda same system/variable valve timing/ but the output depends on models and specs, etc. to weight, etc. which is showing real deal power. Myvi 1.3 eats 1.5 Sohc cars.

Converting NA to Turbo, doesnt mean that racing is the reason. It will help u to climb hills esier, overtake some 70kmh huge vehicles, kick some asses that always thought their car is so mahal and faster than ur cheap ride and pist u off by vroom vroom u…its such a wonderful feeling when u trust ur car..raises ur confidence to drive even safely.

My Vtec rides always make me happy.. 200bhp NA & 250bhp Trb. Im Sabahan, from The Land Below The Wind..Banjaran Crocker, Gunung Mas, Gunung Alap..among the very challanging journey to face..tougher than the smooth road in the Innitial’D i tell u. p/s no way to reach Gunung Kinabalu by car. The roads had taken many lives especially beginners.. just like the black EVO in the I’D movie, and some ‘U’ corners we called them U Turn, Widow Corner, etc. 1.5 Sohc macam wira suffers a lot than the 1.3Dohc dvvt Myvi.

If u planned to add turbo in 1.0 myvi, better dont. Just buy the 1.3…

can i have more information on the turbo-charger for 1.0 myvi manual transmission? Price? need 2 convert to 4wd? parts that comes along or need to purchase additional parts. tq.

[...] The Daihatsu Boon X4 is powered by a turbocharged intercooled 936cc engine instead of the 1.3 liter intercooler turbo K3-VET Daihatsu YRV engine. This engine is called the KJ-VET, which is a 1.0 liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine making 133hp at 7200rpm and 133Nm of torque at 3600rpm. Very nice and not too over the top power figures for a car that size and weight, and it’s linked to a 5-speed manual transmission. It also comes with full-time 4WD. Daihatsu gave the Daihatsu Boon X4 a bonnet air scoop to feed cool air to it’s top-mounted intercooler. [...]

Some info from K3-VET Daihatsu YRV 1.3 Turbo .

0-100 = 7.2sec .. faster than 1.8Satria GTi 7.6sec
haftcut price for K3-VET = rm7k+ with piping,steering,engine,intercooler,etc++
YRV using tiptronic , so eventhough using auto, u switch tp D gear , and then press the accelerator RPM going up like crazy , then at the steering just click , the gear will change .. like F1 ..

converting to turbo intercooler is to heavy for balancing

Dear Joegioarmani, You should think twice before sending your comments. I’ve NEVER seen someone trying to tune his car by buying the tuning parts and the racing licence. Now imagine this- If you want to tune up your car and you asked the workshop owner this question, ‘excuse me, do you have any racing licences in here?’ And what answer did he gave? ‘HERE’S YOUR RACING LICENCE!’ And do you know what he gave to you? The answer, the PELEMPANG! Totally STUPID!

If you take a look at Sadam’s comment, what he gave is totally correct.

-Racing licences CANNOT be retrieved or earned from a tuning workshop
-Racing licences are NOT free or even cheap like HELL.
-Car tuning, must need racing licence?=STUPID!

This car really cool but if its been put on turbo spec its must be more excited for me to drive it

An important note to everyone including Joegioarmani (although out of this topic). Who says that we must drive safely with our normal licence? Even the guys who have racing licences prefer to drive safely. No one can neglect the safety of his car when driving. Even in racing cars, they always say ‘SAFETY FIRST.’ If you look inside the racing car, you’ll find that it has been strengthened with tower bars and body rigidity increase in order to make the car much more safer and so that the driver never gets serious injuries when an accident occurs. The comment Joegioarmani posted was totally WRONG. No car driver can kill himself unless if he neglected the safety features of his car.

Dear HEE, the DVVT and VVT-i are equals. I don’t know which one is powerful. Nissan uses the CVT system similar to the DVVT and VVT-i.

I totally agree with Sadam. Only a STUPID person would ask for a racing licence just because of increasing the car’s horsepower by 10 bhp.

Sadam — Fri, 28 Oct 2005 13:58:50 +0000

I would like to dedicate this to Joegioarmani. Where on earth did someone asked for a racing license just because of installing a turbocharger?
You think a racing license is FREE!? OF COURSE NOT! Upgrading a car does NOT need a racing licence, because racing licence CANNOT be retrieved from a tuning workshop. It’s up to the user whether they want to upgrade or not. No one would ask for a racing licence unless they want to participate in races in Sepang.

Joegioamani, don’t jump into conclusions. Everyone wants to drive safely, including those who drove tuned cars. Never blame the car because of an accident, blame the driver who thinks that he’s a champion racer of the roads.

There’s nothing wrong with myvis infact i’m found out that it is
practical for the Malaysians usage , whereas at the same time it’s
fuel saving . Whatever kind of cars came out in market we as human will never ever satisfied …..if so i suggest to those whom might concern the most you’d better makes your own car so that other people may put condemn on you ….

would tranpslanting the K3VET into the MYvi be worth it? i mean. its still new and of course the K3VETs come only in halfcuts. the engine can still run. until the time comes. and problems come out of the original K3VE then i think converting to a turbo is optional.

Why upgrade to so powerful?!? I think nobody have racing licence here. We earn our licence of driving safely, not dangerously! Seriously think and look around those who have accidents. I’m not scare of death but the people around us will suffer.
