It has a been a while; although I just got the car for around 7 months, I decided to add on a bolt on turbo system to the car.
The 1.3L Campro is running on a TD04 from a Subaru (13T if I'm not mistaken). Didn't boost much, as the management is still not installed yet. Planning to go for Works EMS! Overall the project was cost efficient and neat, running on 2 inch custom made intercooler piping.
Will post the updates after I have managed to dyno tune the car! For more mean time, enjoy my small bolt on turbo 1.3L Campro Proton Saga FLX!
UPDATE: Fuel efficiency without any manage is at 8-10km/L. Not too bad. Managed to get 12-13km/L at one point (believe it or not!) by tuning the fuel pressure regulator, but the ECU adjusted and it went back to "normal".

wow, your finishing is very tidy. i ve an auto 1.3 FLX. Can it apply to my flx also? what's t cost? Management not install...means you need to add up some toys on your driving panel????
TQ for sharing...keep me up date pls......
Hi William, the finish is ok (I wouldn't say perfect) as all the welding is done by my foreman. You are free to find me if you are in PJ area to have a look. Total cost is about RM4k+ with labour (subaru td04 turbo, intercooler, intercooler piping & hoses, air intake, blow off valve, 38mm wastegate, extra thick custom intake manifold, fuel pressure regulator (Works), fuel return hose, custom fuel return line (for FLX, it is different) and some tweaks to the fuelling system.
If your FLX is auto I suggest don't install BOT. My next stage I am opting for Haltech S500 management with new semi racing clutch, followed by forged pistons & conrods with 1600cc campro crankshaft. :D
I own a Saga FL 1.3A, feel like do some mod on the car but i know nothing abt it, could u advise? i prefer slightly higher performance and perhaps it can be more fuel efficient :-) i heard from my fren that air intake and piping help but i saw this:

it looks like yours more aggresive! (Y)
i'll appreciate your reply, cheers~
Hi Hong,
Honestly, to achieve "better" performance and also improved fuel efficiency through modification it is an oxymoron. Sure, you can change your air intake and exhaust to improve the flow efficiency, but the cost would already outweigh any negligible savings in fuel.
Try to install a drop in air filter and 4-2-1 extractor. These 2 should give you a slight kick. Muffler and piping size you should just leave it, the return on investment isn't as great as changing extractor... :)
Cheers!
Greatly appreciate your comment, as my friend has told me about de 4-2-1 stuff also~ For the drop in air filter, noted! I will do some research on it first~ too bad i'm not in Selangor area or else I'll just drive to your workshop :-)
thanks anyway (Y)
No problem Hong, anything feel free to contact me.... I'm also experimenting on getting more power from Campro engine :)
Hi Jackson, forgot to ask.. which brand of the drop in air filter is better and the price around wad?
You can get redline, about RM150 If I'm not mistaken. So far I tried non-branded steel mesh filter, imitation K&N, fake HKS, Simota, and original K&N.
Value for money still goes to Redline or Simota :)
Wow, just nicely priced not too expensive (Y)
thanks for the recommendation~ when i search for modification for saga, there got something like grounding and wad wad voltage like that de.. important?
you've try the works drop in air filter? it is okay?
I tried works drop in on my ex-ride, a 2003 Toyota Altis 1.6 Auto. It actually feels the same for me, except a deeper growling sound at high revs.
Grounding could help if existing grounding points are weak. I have tried it on my Wira before, but frankly, on a close to 200whp ride, 1-2whp can't be felt. Perhaps a stock car you would feel something. Cheers!
Hi jackson, i suppose to change the drop in air filter for my saga FL, in the end i upgraded the intake system with mushroom and dunno how to call the titanium pipe. Fantastic!
Now its abit more aggressive and when i rev, i can hear a pitch sound of de pipe sucking air. cool~!
hi... as i noe there is some problem for saga blm bolt on turbo...there is engine check light on on the speedometer...is tat a problem which is bolt on turbo without management??? how much is ur boost???btw ur fuel consumtion still ok...still same with my saga blm auto...
Jackson, can you leave your contact here. I want to see the conversion..am staying at PJ
