    PROTON’S TURBO ENGINE GETS 6-SPEED MANUAL GETRAG GEARBOX!

    Proton is certainly moving up ahead with its new engine development.

    According to industry sources, the new engine will be using turbo technology but is developed more for low end torque and fuel consumption.

    The main target for the engine is for the Exora, which we was told will only happen next year.

    We were told that the Low Pressure Turbo (LPT) system uses a turbine from BorgWarner  and pressure starts to kick in at around 1,800rpm.  Power should hover around 140hp.

    Apart from the LPT system, the new engine will also be using a Continuous Variable Valve Timing (CVVT) system on the intake valves.

    Transmission wise, the 6-speed Getrag gearbox is said to be chosen for the engine while a CVT gearbox by ZF will replace the normal torque converter automatic transmission system. Proton realises that it needs more control on the transmission and using Mitsubishi’s will not allow them so.

    The engine is loosely based from the CAMPRO block but many changes have been done to it (improved water jackets, etc) and that it should deserve a new name.

    We think the project’s code name, Phoenix, is good enough.
