Digital Meter for Sale (rare) - Updated

Item is SOLD!! Thank you buyer. Welcome to the digital meter family.

Salam, Dulu gua pernah bikin entry psl digital meter. Tgk kat sini. So baru² ni ada gua terjumpa sbijik yg sama mcm meter gua pakai skg. Condition tip top sbb mmg bukak dr kereta sblm scrap. Yg terbaiknye meter ni complete dgn socket sume. Untuk pengetahuan, meter yg psang kat keta gua tu beli tanpa socket. Jadi agak susah nk cari satu² penyambung untuk hidupkan meter tu. So yg ni mmg dh complete siap sume. Meter mmg rare sbb kalau lu cri mane² pn biasa org akan tolak meter yg model lain&kureng. So meter ni mmg marvelous sbb gua dh pakai. Berminat? blh email gua khairi.traswaja@gmail.com

3. Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

4. Braking Assist (BA)

5. 4 Airbags - Airbag penumpang hadapan boleh di ON/OFF, untuk keselamatan bayi jika diletakkan ditempat duduk hadapan.

6. 5 Stars Australian NCAP - Orang ramai tidak perlu meragui tentang ketulenan markah penuh ujian perlanggaran P3-21A ini kerana procedure NCAP, pemilihan unit yang akan diuji bukan ditentukan oleh Proton atau syarikat pembuat kereta. Tetapi wakil dari NCAP Australia sendiri akan datang ke kilang tersebut dan memilih secara rawak unit yang akan diuji. Jadi tiada lagi persoalan tentang markah penuh ujian perlanggaran NCAP. Dan saya sendiri tidak hairan tentang markah penuh tersebut setelah melihat sendiri video perlanggaran P3-21A dengan kelajuan 140km/h, bahagian "pillar A" langsung tidak bengkok, terkesan atau sebagainya. Ini membuatkan cermin hadapan tidak berderai, hanya retak atas kesan letupan Airbag sahaja. Untuk perbandingan antara City, Vios, Forte, Altis & Civic, hanya Civic sahaja yang mempunyai rekod NCAP iaitu Japan NCAP.

DIMENSION

1. Length = 4.543m
2. Width = 1.786m
3. Height = 1.524m

Size luar keseluruhan kereta menunjukkan P3-21A lebih besar daripada City, Vios, Forte, Altis & Civic

CHASSIS

1. Boot Space: 508 liter - Terbesar diantara City, Vios, Forte, Altis & Civic
   
2. Turning Radius: 5.3 meter
3. Full Tank Capacity: 50 liter
4. Aerodynamic (Rintangan Angin): CD Factor = 0.30 - Untuk perbandingan, Audi TT memiliki CDFactor = 0.29. Secara theory nya, semakin kurang rintangan angin, semakin kurang penggunaan petrol

POWER-TRAIN

1. 1.6L CFE with 7-speed Pro-Tronic CVT3 (VVT) - 205Nm @ 2,000rpm ; 140PS
   
2. 0-100km/h: 9.6 saat - Untuk perbandingan, Kia Forte 1.6: 12.5 saat

VARIANT

1. Executive MT, 1.6 IAFM+ 5-Speed MT
2. Executive CVT, 1.6 IAFM+ 6-Speed CVT
3. Premuim CVT, 1.6 CFE 7-Speed CVT

PROTON CARS

FEB07
201234 COMMENTSWRITTEN BY CHEDET

1. I stopped using Proton cars after I stepped down. I wanted to enjoy the superior quality of the high-end European and Japanese cars.

2. Proton was known for its cheap cars. The assumption is that it can never produce cars of quality as represented by European, Japanese and even Korean cars.

3. The people at Proton are unhappy over this reputation. They feel it is wrong to think that they cannot produce high end cars. It is just that the company policy was to produce run-of-the-mill cars. The Malaysian public expect Malaysian cars to be cheap. Cheap cars just cannot have the quality and the features of the more costly imports.

4. Proton people want to show that given the support they can produce quality cars.

5. The other day I test drove their latest model on the test track at Shah Alam. I can verify and assure Proton customers and Malaysians generally that this new model can match any of the Japanese or European quality cars. It was such a pleasure to drive. A foreign friend who knows cars, tested the car and says it is up to the standard of the up-market cars from Europe.

6. This car uses hot press steel body which is stronger than cold press. It has a 1.6 liter turbocharged engine equal to a 2.0 liter engine power. The engine complies with Euro-five standards.

7. A whole list of feature has been incorporated. This includes Vehicle Seek Lamp, Wiper Auto Speed, Auto side door folding mirror, Push Button Start / Stop, Sensors for Automatic Wiper and Headlamp and GPS Antenna for Navigation System.

8. Additionally it has Impact Sensing Door Lock, Continuous Variable Transmission, Security Alarm System, Immobiliser and Central Locking.

9. The automatic version has Shift Lever with Tiptronic Mode and Paddle Shifter on Steering Wheel for seven gear changes. ABS to prevent skidding and BA (Brake Assist) to increase brake pedal force.

10. There are many others features which enhances the performance of the engine and driveability of the car.

11. There will be several models with less features than I describe. But they are all superior to the other Proton cars.

12. Naturally the price would be higher though probable cheaper than imports with similar features and quality.

13. I believe this is a great car and Proton can be proud of it. Malaysians can be proud of it too. The extra Ringgit you have to spend will be worth it.

14. The car will be available in three months time.

Sejarah Proton Saga (Part 4)

How Turbos Work??

Basically, it sends a larger load of air into the cylinders, thus increasing the amount of gasoline that can be injected into the combustion chamber. The consequence is a sharp increase of combustion chamber’s internal temperature. Turbo charging forces compressed air into an engine to improve a vehicle’s performance. The advantage of compressing the air is that it lets the engine squeeze more air into a cylinder, and more air means that more fuel can be added. 

Therefore, you get more power from each explosion in each cylinder. A turbocharged engine produces more power overall than the same engine without the charging. This can significantly improve the power-to-weight ratio for the engine (we will learn on how horsepower works later). On the one hand the air is compressed while its temperature increases and on the other, more burning gasoline produces more heat. With turbochargers, a smaller, more fuel efficient engine can replace a larger, less fuel efficient engine. The smaller engine achieves similar performance, while reducing exhaust emissions. 

The turbocharger is driven by waste exhaust gases forced through an exhaust housing onto a turbine wheel. The turbine wheel is connected by a common shaft to a compressor wheel so that both wheels rotate simultaneously when the exhaust gases hit the turbine wheel. Rotation of the turbo assembly compresses the intake air routed through a compressor housing, forcing the compressed air into the engine’s cylinders. The increased amount of air forced into the engine creates more power than a similarly sized non-turbocharged engine and power similar to a larger, non-turbocharged engine. Turbochargers operate at very high temperatures, high speeds and high pressures. Optimum performance can only be achieved by the proper operation, maintenance and service.

Planning For Changes

So the first issue you encounter is whether your piston will withstand this temperature (which I highly doubt). Many of the stock turbocharged gasoline engines spray a stream of oil around the bottom of the piston to assist in the cooling.

Then you will have a problem of self-burning gasoline with a high compression ratio (about 11:1). Either you use a gasoline with 110 octane or you will need to reduce this ratio below 9:1 by increasing the thickness of the head gasket, for example.

You can’t ignore the heat issue for too long. Otherwise, your beautiful turbine will blow up at 2 bar with the rods planted in the ground, right from the start. You will also need to work the management of injection, since the current settings won’t be compatible with a turbo.

Another thing you should plan to change: the camshafts. The phasing and time of initiation of the stock engine might not be compatible with a turbo.

Only once you have evaluated all these points can you look at the practical stuff: how to install a turbo on your block. The installation can be rather complicated, since you will need to at least provide lubrication for the turbo. Consider changing your stock intake/exhaust manifolds.
