Here’s something unique and rather interesting. Over in Thailand, a garage called Amon Auto Accessories has successfully transplanted a 2.2 litre turbodiesel engine from a Mazda CX-5 into a Proton Exora.
How the job was done was not detailed in the garage’s Facebook post, but after some tuning and new parts, the mill in the MPV is rated at nearly 209 hp and 440 Nm of torque. For context, the sole diesel-powered CX-5 variant we have here makes 188 hp and 450 Nm.
Judging by the exterior, the modified MPV appears to be an Exora Prime, which was launched in Thailand back in 2012. This version, along with the Exora Bold, was introduced in Malaysia in 2011 and brought with it a turbocharged petrol engine, with the 1.6 litre unit putting out 138 hp and 205 Nm.
Besides slotting in the Mazda turbodiesel engine, Amon Auto Accessories also cut up the bumper to allow for more airflow into the engine bay. Pretty cool engine swap, don’t you think? However, it’s unlikely the road transport department will approve such an engine swap in Malaysia because it would not fit the requirements.

More reliable than Geely engine. Good job Thai people.
Izzit legal here? RIP locals Cam takpro..
Of course it is. None of those chinese shits can last any longer. Endless money pits
The Campro engine was designed & manufactured by Proton years long before Geely became a shareholder. Probably you all are too young to remember & are still school children.
The original commenter mentioned about geely engine you stupid fool
He was talking about geely engine idiot
Why was the Geely name brought up in the 1st place when the Proton Exora’s original Campro engine design & manufacturing had not involved Geely from the beginning? You & those who associate the Exora’s Campro with Geely are the actual idiotic stupid fools!!!
Original MaCAMPRO enjin most likely blew up
Seems like you didn’t follow the news in Taiwan, a lot of Mazda CX-5 diesel engine blown up
Does this mean that the Exora chassis is better than CX-5? Lotus ride and handling??
Different segment brother…
EV conversion please.
Proton should offer Campro-D engine.
if 2000cc turbo can register with JPJ..
what is considered “same manufacturer” ?
For example 4g63 engine has been fitted Mitsubishi, Hyundai, Proton, even Chery cars.
Proton Savvy and Waja used Renault engines
There are Toyota, Daihatsu, Perodua versions of the same engine
Also without any logical reasons, many Proton cars (especially Wiras) for many years now cannot be converted from 1.6 to 2.0, even if it is still within 30% limit. They can just intepret laws as they choose and please?
Regarding the Proton Waja, only its 1.8 model used the Renault engine. The Waja 1.6 model initially used a Mitsubishi engine & later switched to the Campro engine.

Not sure if the chassis is rigid enough with such power in the drive. Being in control is very important aspect of driving. Thus proton emphasis on drive and handling excellence is correct.
Finally, an Exora that doesn’t drink fuel like crazy lol.
