Twin Surbo Proton Gen 2

Twin Surbo Installation

Location – Kota Kinabalu Sabah

I received a call from a friend who complained about me not picking up his calls. Actually it was more like every time he calls, I will be doing something else and away from my phone. Anyway, after concluding that I knew where exactly his location, I decided to go and fix 2 units of Surbo for his Gen 2. I am not really sure if it was a Proton Gen 2 or Proton Persona. The engine bay looks the same to me but maybe; just maybe, it was a Proton Gen 2. I wish to extend my apology to the owner for misquoting his car’s type here if there is.

 Continuing to the main topic, before the installation, his car was using a custom 3 inch air intake piping. It was a perfect place for the Surbo to be. It was a straight 3 inch custom air intake piping with cone air filter.

 To begin with, there is something has to be done before the installation can be carried out. The owner has installed another performance parts on his air intake and wants to take it out. The Surbo cannot be fitted into the piping if the other performance part still inside. The performance part was glued into the piping. Then it must be hard to take it out. Well, you bet. It took me almost eternity to remove the glued parts. Luckily the owner got the time to wait for me to extract the performance part.

Thank you for the painstaking removal process

After the removal, come the installations. Two units of Surbo were fitted into the intake piping and hurray!! It was ready for a test drive.

Upon completion of installation, the car owner did not carry out any test drive at all. He just pays and left for work. The only comment I got from him later was “good, power and better fuel economy”. Well, that sums up the whole thing from performance to fuel  consumption efficiency. As tiring and painful the job may be but customer’s satisfaction in the end was the real motivation for me to ensure all installation are perfect. Happy driving Sabahan!!. Surbo Sabah.

Here we go again..

Recently I did a few installation. Just to name it; I did an Exora, Saga, MyVi 1.3 and Waja.

For the Exora, the owner was a very sporting man. He is more than willing to give a try on this Surbo. Once installed, I ask him to do a quick round of drive to feel the car performance. It was a quick and not so stressing drive due to so many obstacle at the housing area. He did feel a bit on the car performance especially from 1st gear to 2nd gear. His Exora is using automatic transmission and was the 1st model that came out. His only comment was “so far there is an improvement”. I am not expecting more comments due to short drive and none of it were really testing the car’s performances such as hill climbing and accelerating down the highway. But nevertheless, I am happy for him as he is more than satisfied with his car. Hopefully I am going to get more valuable feedback from him later when he drive to Ranau or Tawau or wherever he wishes to go with the car full with people and cruising freely. The picture below is not the Exora belong to him but some other sporting guy. He was my 1st Exora.

For the Saga, it was a new Saga. The car owner was so excited about the Surbo. He was also a very sporting man trying to get the better performance for his car without any major modifications on his car. He found out about the Surbo and did some research on the Internet. He turns out to be a long time user for the Surbo as proved by his Waja. He had the red Surbo installed for his Waja 10 years ago. Once installed, his son did a quick drive around at Donggongon area and his only comment was “rasa ada ok la, saya nak booking 2 “. Translation “ feels ok, I want to book 2 unit of Surbo”. Really kind guy who are more than willing to try.

For the Waja, it was the same person as the above car owner. No wonder he believes in good performance of the Surbo as he was having a Surbo under the hood for 10 years. He was more than happy to install another Surbo for his Waja making it a Twin Surbo. I just realigned the old Surbo and new Surbo for maximum effect inside his 10 years old waja. Maybe older but the engine still sounds very good to me. Once installed, I ask him on how the new feel with twin Surbo under the hood. His reply me with “suda cuba memang hebat la. Guarantee puas hati, ramai member mau pasang la. Keep in touch”. Translation “ its great, satisfaction guaranteed, a lot of friends want to install. Keep in touch”. The statement alone is more than enough to convince me on how he feels about his car performance.

As a conclusion of the day, it can be concluded that these guys are benefiting from this Surbo light suction turbo system. Will get more feedback soon from the previous users and also from future users. If its good, use it, if it is not, just notify me and I will get it removed and return your money back. 100%. Re installation to the same car will be RM240 per unit compared to initial RM180 per unit..
