Like u said proton & Hyundai started with Mitshubishi at 1985, now 20 years later both manufacturer quality is much different. Embarassed

Hmm.. Like that we can put in the Mitshubishi EVO engine for our Accent. Twisted Evil

Thenbe a road rage. Cool

Anyway, thanks for sharing this info. I never though of this before, will notice it one day. Very Happy

As usual, plotong is "part and copy" of Mitsu.
Hyundai was part but after sometime, they're on their own.

Yaloh, proton still much liaise with other manufacturer, don't want to be independent and they still work back their old style without self improvement. Embarassed

Hyundai is dare to be independent with self improvemrnt after they adopt technology from Mitshubishi for sometimes. Smile

Im not too sure whether can put in EVO engine or not. Rolling Eyes

But according to GHOST statement, our Accent engine mounting is similar with Mitshubishi Lancer. So if it is true, it can be fit into our accent already. Wink

Yup, Evo 4 -8 is possible. Evo 1-3 & VR4 cannot unless u wanna transplant it the other way round la.

GHOST, you mean that accent really can use EVO engine because of the same engine mounting?? I think its a good news for Twisted Evil

But it cost a bomb to modify it and might get difficulty to get approval from JPJ. Rolling Eyes

How about the car body weight and suspension to withhold the engine? I heard that EVO engine can produce 350BHP... dunno how true, sounded impossible.

By changing to high HP engine, we need to get expert to modify the suspension and braking system to withhold the performance. Cool

This mod is required by jpj regulation. Smile
