Today, for the Flashback segment we would like to post about the Proton Waja 1.6 CPS.Here we want to share some history with all of you.As you already knew, the Proton Waja is the first model designed in-house by Proton. The development of the Waja began at the end of the 1990s together with the Campro engine, however the development of the Campro engine was still in progress at the time of its launch and therefore Proton had to source the 4G18 engine for the Waja from Mitsubishi before switching to Campro engines in 2006.By 2008, an updated Waja was launched with an improved Campro engine and a new center console with a new 2-DIN Clarion audio set.
The Waja Campro 1.6 Premium (CPS) comes with either a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 4-speed auto. It has electrically foldable remote wing mirrors, front seats with three-way adjustable headrests (up, down and tilt), leather seats all around, a gated automatic shifter for the automatic transmission model, new center panel switches, a keyless trunk remote system, ABS brakes, dual SRS airbags, fog lamps, twin tailpipes and projector Xenon headlamps with automatic headlamp levelling.
The Waja Campro 1.6 Premium (CPS) is powered by the 125 horsepower (93kW) at 6,500rpm and 150Nm of torque at 4,500rpm compared to the non-CPS Campro’s 110 horsepower (82kW) at 6,000rpm and 148Nm of torque at 4,000rpm. Engine displacement is 1,597cc, bore and stroke is 76mm x 88mm and the compression ratio is 10.0:1. To handle the higher power and torque output, the Campro CPS engine has an additional oil cooler.
On December 5, 2008, Proton announced that the next-generation Waja to be based on the Mitsubishi Lancer platform.So, let’s wait together for the new Waja replacement model.
How is the Proton Campro CPS works?
The CPS system integrated both cam profile switching (CPS) and a variable intake manifold (VIM). VIM switches between a long intake manifold at low RPMs and a short intake manifold at higher RPMs. According to Proton, a longer intake manifold is used at low RPMs to achieve slower air flow; this promotes better mixing with fuel. The short intake manifold allows more air in faster. This is beneficial at high RPMs. This seems to be slightly different compared to the usual VIM system where intake manifold width is also varied to control air velocity, and velocity tries to be maximised, but the idea behind the CPS VIM seems to be not wanting the air to go in as fast as possible at low revs to promote air-fuel mixture? Whatever it is, it seems to work, as the VIM does not stand alone but works with all the other engine systems together over different RPMs.
The CPS system uses a switching tappet and a trilobe 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 engine speeds of under 3,800rpm to maintain idling smoothness and ensure lower emissions, while the high lift cam profile is used when the engine is spinning more than 3,800rpm to improve peak horsepower and torque.

ni la kete proton yg smp skrg nih masih lg proton kluarkan…dr first smp skrg mcm2 liku d hadapi kete waja nih…dr enjin 1.6,1.8,campro,cps,campro turbo…dan mcm2 lg kete waja ni byk enjin leh masuk,nk kate kete ni bahan ujikaji pn ader jgk…
…tak lupe jg kete waja ni da byk jasa kt proton n rakyat m’sia…sampai kete nih boleh drift…
sampai skrg nih aku masih minat kt waja…yg design R3 MME lg cun…
kete waja yg cps version ni mmg da stabil sepenuhnya…
tunggu waja replacement model next year….tak sabar rasernye…
Tu yang pelik tuh, WAJA Campro nih sebelum CPS lagi dah memang ada model 1.8 masa keluaran WAJA EX itu hari , tapi kenapa bila Exora keluar, Proton tak gunakan enjin 1.8 ni, Kut tak dah tentu orang dah tak risau pasal underpower isu tu. Atau keluarkan ajer dua model macam Nissan MPV 1.6 dan 1.8 tu.
joko..
mse waja 1.8 aritu..proton x pakai enjin campro lgi…
1st model waja guna enjin 4G18 1.6cc
utk waja 1.8cc proton guna enjin renaoult..(kalu salah betulkkn ek)
so bg exora..proton lebih berkehendakkan mememakai enjin 1.6cc campro…supaya kete proton ni sume nye bernyawakn produk proton..
so cam tu la pendapat aku…
mcm tu gak savvy…kite x de enjin 1.2..so proton tlh keje sme ngan renaoult utk kete savvy ni..
Abah saya pakai WAJA. Kawan abah saya yang pernah pakai Waja tetapi sekarang pakai kereta lain kata Waja lagi best dari segi ride and handling… tidak gegar dan stabil walaupun dipandu laju. Campro CPS memang best.
eriz btul tuh…..
x sabar replacement from waja
kalau btul2 makeup mmg cantek waja ney…
E.J
Oooo camtu rupanya.. anyway thanx for the info
masa waja kuar dlu..
aku mmg mnit kt kete ni..
tp skrng minatku tlah beralih arah ke bLm plak..
hehehe..wlau pn cma 1.3 je.
tp aku bnga..
Kalau Waja diganti elok dibuat under license di negara lain untuk pasaran negara tersebut dan negara sekitar sebab Waja memang bagus. Atau pun jual macam Rover 75 dijual oleh UK ke China.
ni kekawan yg pakai waja 1.8 ada apa2 x yang nak di kongsi.. pengalaman, pendapat, brg2 alat ganti.. klu ada di alu alukan.. tq,,,,,,
Kawan abah saya pakai Waja 1.8. Memang best, salah satu engine VVT terawal di Malaysia tetapi tidak di highlightkan. Engine ini juga telah digunakan dalam lumba British Touring Car Championship dalam Waja oleh pasukan Petronas Syntium Proton (PSP) pada awal tahun 2000 (Minyak Petronas Syntium di ujilasak). Ia juga telah ditingkatkan CC kepada 2000 CC dan digunakan dalam Proton Satria Neo S2000 yang mendapat tempat 2 dalam rally di Scotland baru-baru ini. Bagus sebenarnya engine ini.
yup waja cps mmg mantap,setaraf dengan gen2 cps dari segi handling and conering…..dari beli toyata vios better amik gen2 cps…
sokong proton
cantik…nak satu…
nak power lagi waja cps ni masuklah tac…mmg power giler….
