Another Turbocharged CAMPRO monster spotted on the road. This time, it is a CAMPRO CPS variant of proton Gen2. It can boost up to 1 Bar producing approximately 255hp on wheel. That is on WHEEL. Remember, this is originally a 1.6 Litre 4 cylinder engine that only produces 125hp. After being fitter with a bolt-on-turbo and some other mods, the increase in HP is enormous. The internal parts of the engine is pretty much stock standard without any forged items yet to date.










Specs :-


- Campro CPS 1.6 litre 4 cylinder engine  
- Evo3 TD05 18g Turbine
- 255ph Walbro External fuel pump
- Haltech Platinum Interceptor Engine Management
- Double Metal Gasket
- Stock factory CPS piston and con-rod
- Custom Intake Manifold
- 1 Additional Extra Injector

Campro CPS and VIM engine

The Campro CPS 1.6L engine inside theProton Satria Neo CPS R3 engine bay.
The Campro CPS engine uses a variable valve lift system (Cam Profile Switching system) and a variable length intake manifold (VIM; not to be confused with the stand-alone IAFM used in the 2008 Proton Saga) to boost maximum power and improve the CPS engine's torque curve over the standard DOHC Campro engine.
The engine's Variable-length Intake Manifold (VIM) switches between a long intake manifold at low engine speeds and a short intake manifold at higher engine speeds. Proton is using a longer intake manifold to achieve slower air flow; as they found this promotes better mixing with fuel. The short intake manifold allows more air in faster. This is beneficial at high RPMs.
The Cam Profile Switching (CPS) system uses a trilobite camshaft to switch between two different cam profiles. One cam profile provides low valve lift, while the other cam profile has a high valve lift. The low valve lift cam profile is used at low to mid engine speeds to maintain idling quality and reduce emissions, while the high lift cam profile is used when the engine is spinning at mid to high engine speeds improve peak horsepower and torque. Unlike the other similar variable valve timing systems such as the Honda VTEC, the Toyota VVT-i and the MitsubishiMIVEC which use rocker arm locking pins to change the valve timing, the CPS system uses direct-acting tappets with locking pins to change the valve timing and lift profile.
VIM switches from the long to short runner at 4,800 rpm, while the CPS system switches over at 3,800 rpm (4,400 rpm in the Proton Satria Neo CPS[3]). The result is 125 bhp (93 kW; 127 PS) at 6,500 rpm and 150 N·m (110 ft·lbf) of torque at 4,500 rpm compared to the non-CPS Campro’s 110 bhp (82 kW; 112 PS) at 6,000 rpm and 148 N·m (109 ft·lbf) of torque at 4,000 rpm. Proton claims that there is better response and torque at low engine speeds of between 2000 - 2500 rpm.
The new CPS engine first made its debut in the facelifted Proton GEN2 launched in Thailand,[4] and made its first Malaysian debut in the Proton Waja Campro 1.6 Premium (CPS).

Drifting Accident. Motorsport is DANGEROUS

This video shows that even the Pros sometimes get it wrong :( Really sorry for those nice looking cars.

Million Dollar Crash in Japan


Authorities in Japan were still reconstructing Monday how eight Ferraris, a Lamborghini and a few Mercedes-Benzes wrecked on an expressway Sunday morning, coating the road in an Italian red metal sauce worth more than $1 million. It’s not a sight for those squeamish about totaled supercars.


Some 14 cars in all were involved in the chain-reaction crash on an expressway named China Road in Yamaguchi prefecture, leaving 10 people with minor injuries. While the injuries were light, several of the vehicles appear totaled. 


How did so many Ferraris end up on the road together? The group — which Japanese police officials called “a gathering of narcissists” — were driving to a supercar meet-up in Hiroshima, where about 100 vehicles were expected to show. As one driver who was invited along but passed noted, it was unusual for such a drive to take the expressway — where speeds are closely monitored and traffic can be thicker due to lower tolls on Sundays. Even so, the Ferraris were estimated to have been running between 80 mph and 100 mph when the crash happened.






Police and video reports say the wreck began when a 60-year-old businessman from Fukushima driving a Ferrari F430 attempted to pass a Toyota Prius, but instead hit the guardrail. That set off a chain reaction among the cars driving in a tight formation behind the lead Ferrari, eventually wrapping up seven other Ferraris — namely a 360 Modena, F355 and a white Testarossa — along with a Lamborghini Diablo and a couple of high-end Mercedes.






The Prius sustained some rear bumper damage, but escaped relatively unharmed. 10 out of 12 drivers involved were taken to the hospital due to bruises and cuts.





Building Race Engine (Part1)

In order to produce massive horsepower, a huge piston is needed. Thus you will need to bore your cylinder block bigger to accommodate the huge pistons. Usually, a stock engine will come with a bore and pistons that is sufficient for daily driving a for that engine to be very reliable. You can change that by sending your cylinder block to the machine shop and request the machinist to bore your stock block to a larger diameter. This video will show you how the process is done. Once this process is done, you can insert a large set of racing piston. This will increase definitely increase the horsepower of your car.

Awesome is all i can say. Precise engineering, and very strict quality control in every single engine produced.

Sepang 1000km Race 3.12.2011


It was Raceday for all of the competitors that is taking part in this year Sepang 1000 Kilometer Endurance Race.Entering its third edition of the increasingly popular S1K a new role as SIC’s year-ender extravaganza. Although this race is not advertised extensively by the organiser, the crowd turn out was not so bad. This year's race was made famous largely by the appearance of the Red Bull Rookie drivers and also the Proton R3 race team. Proton Motorsports have achieved a lot this year especially in the Asia Pacific Rally. So, the Proton R3 race team looks set to emulate this feat and dominate the race.
