Proton Gen2 Modified

Engines create power from combusting a mixture of fuel and air. Valve lift creates a gap to draw air into the combustion chamber, and this gap influences the ratio of air in the mixture. Ordinary engines have fixed rate of valve lift, but Cam Profile Switching gives variable valve lift, for optimised airflow into the engine. A High Lift cam profile improves maximum power, whilst the Low profile offers fuel efficiency and low emissions. Air is supplied to the valves by the engine’s intake manifold. Variable intake Manifold technology intelligently changes the rate of “breathing” according to the engine speed. At low speed, air will drawn through the Long Runner manifold. The ...

The new facelifted Proton GEN2 has been launched in Thailand together with the Proton brand’s introduction into the Thai market. We’ve been seeing the new facelifted Proton GEN2 going around town on road tests before, so the new larger grille is not something that new to those who have seen the spyshots. It also marks the first production Proton with the long awaited Campro CPS engine installed in the engine bay. In the Thailand market, this is for the High Line model only and as far as I can find out, it produces 125 horsepower at 6,500rpm and 150Nm of torque at 4,500rpm as compared to the normal Campro’s 110 horsepower at 6,000rpm and 148Nm of torque at 4,000rpm. It’s not known at the moment what the new engine’s torque curve looks like, or whether this new Campro CPS in the facelifted GEN2 has the Variable Intake Module or not, since it was previously mentioned by the VIM manufacturer EPMB just two weeks ago that the VIM module would most likely only go into production early ne...
