Question & Answer about Campro CFE 1.6L engine

Gambar hiasan serta artikel adalah dari Funtastickodesign

"Terlebih dahulu saya ingin mengucapkan jutaan terima kasih kepada Proton melalui unit Powertrain & Media yang telah memenuhi permintaan saya supaya ia dapat dikongsikan & disampaikan kepada pembaca blog serta orang ramai, amnya. Ini merupakan inisiatif terbaru dari Funtasticko Design untuk memberi maklumat dengan lebih lanjut mengenai enjin terbaru dari Proton iaitu Campro CFE 1.6L. Saya telah mengajukan beberapa soalan kepada pihak Powertrain Proton & ini adalah soalan serta jawapan yang diberikan :
1.      Apakah sebenarnya yang dimaksudkan dengan CFE? Ceritakan secara ringkas.
CFE ialah ringkasan kepada Charged Fuel Efficiency. Secara ringkasnya, enjin CFE inimemberikan tenaga seperti sebuah enjin 2.0 liter ketika diperlukan tetapi memberikan pulangan penggunaan minyak yang baik di dalam keadaan pemanduan santai, seperti memandu di lebuhraya, ketika melahu atau ketika memandu di dalam kesesakan lalulintas.
 2.      Adakah CFE ini enjin baru sepenuhnya ataupun masih lagi berasaskan enjin Campro tetapi dengan beberapa pengubahsuaian?
Enjin 1.6 liter Campro CFE dibina berdasarkan enjin Campro tetapi dengan peratusan besar pembaharuan yang terdiri dari komponen unik kepada enjin CFE sahaja.
3.      Boleh ceritakan apa yang telah diubahsuai untuk enjin CFE ini? Ceritakan secara ringkas bahagian yang telah diubahsuai dan sebab-sebab pengubahsuaian.
Antara pengubahsuaian yang dilakukan ialah komponen-komponen utama seperti aci engkol, aci sesondol, rod penyambung, blok silinder dan kepala silinder enjin telah ditukar kepada rekabentuk baru.
4.      Bagaimana cara CFE berfungsi?
CFE sebenarnya berfungsi di atas dasar mampatan paksaan (forced induction). Ia menggunakan daya gas ekzos berkelajuan tinggi untuk memusingkan pemampat yang akan kemudian memaksa lebih banyak udara luar masuk ke dalam kebuk pembakaran.
Udara tambahan itu akan dibekalkan dengan bahan api yang secukupnya untuk menjana lebih banyak tenaga. Hasilnya,  enjin  1.6 liter Campro CFE mampu memberikan kuasa kuda seperti sebuah enjin 2.0 liter tanpa sistem mampatan paksaan.
Kelebihan enjin 1.6 liter Campro CFE ini ialah sistem pemampat hanya beroperasi selepas 2,000 RPM. Bila enjin bergerak di bawah paras tersebut, penggunaan bahan bakar akan menjadi lebih rendah dari enjin 2.0 liter.
5.      Apa perbezaan antara Low Pressure Turbo (lazimnya dikenali sebagai Low Inertia Turbo) dan High Pressure Turbo (atau High Inertia Turbo)?
Low Pressure Turbo atau LPT menggunakan turbin yang kecil dan mampu beroperasi dengan halaju gas ekzos yang rendah (RPM enjin rendah). Oleh kerana itu, ia menghasilkan pemampatan (boost) yang rendah.
High Pressure Turbo pula memerlukan halaju gas ekzos yang lebih tinggi kerana turbin yang lebih besar. Hasilnya, mampatan yang lebih tinggi.
Enjin CFE menggunakan LPT kerana fokus lebih kepada daya kilas yang tinggi pada RPM yang rendah (low end torque). Ini akan membantu dari segi pecutan yang lebih mantap dan penggunaan minyak yang lebih rendah.
 6.      Kenapa Proton memilih unit turbin dari Borg Warner? Apakah kelebihannya?
Pilihan dilakukan berdasarkan rekacipta, kualiti dan harga yang berpatutan.
7.      Apakah ada tambahan CVVT atau VVT pada CFE? Jika ada, apakah fungsinya?
Enjin 1.6 liter Campro CFE menggunakan teknologi injap VVT untuk mengoptimakan laluan udara segar ke dalam enjin pada RPM rendah dan tinggi. VVT juga membantu mengurangkan penggunaan minyak dan mengurangkan pencemaran udara kerana pembakaran adalah lebih lengkap.
8.      Bagaimana untuk mendapatkan kuasa maksimum CFE dan cara untuk mendapatkan penjimatan minyak yang optimum semasa memandu?
Cara terbaik ialah mengekalkan kelajuan putaran enjin di bawah paras 2,000 RPM agar sistem mampatan paksaan tidak beroperasi.
Namun dalam keadaan di mana tenaga diperlukan, pendikit perlu ditekan rapat ke lantai supaya sistem transmisi CVT boleh menurunkan nisbahnya agar enjin beroperasi pada 5,500 RPM untuk kuasa maksimum.
9.      Adakan CFE mempunyai “turbo lag” sepertimana enjin-enjin turbo yang lain dan bagaimana Proton mengatasinya jika ada?
Penggunaan LPT membantu enjin 1.6 liter Campro CFE ini untuk beroperasi selancar enjin N/A (tanpa sistem mampatan paksaan).
10. Apakah kelebihan CFE berbanding dengan enjin VVTI, VTEC, MIVEC, DVVT dan turbo yang lain? Ini akan membantu memperbetulkan “mindset” rakyat Malaysia yang selama ini terlalu teruja dengan teknolgi Jepun ini.
Sistem VVTI, VTEC, MIVEC dan DVVT adalah sistem-sistem teknlogi injap yang membantu pernafasan enjin pada RPM rendah atau tinggi. Enjin 1.6 liter Campro CFE menggabungkan teknologi injap VVT dan sistem mampatan paksaan untuk prestasi enjin yang baik pada sebarang kelajuan enjin.
11. Adakah kos penyelenggaraan CFE tinggi jika berlaku sebarang kerosakan?
Seperti enjin lain, enjin 1.6 liter Campro CFE memerlukan penyelenggaraan seperti yang disarankan di dalam Buku Panduan Pemilik (Owner’s Manual) dan Buku Servis Berkala (Periodic Maintenance Book). Dengan penjagaan rapi, enjin CFE ini tidak akan mendatangkan sebarang masalah dan kos penyelenggaran direka agar tidak begitu berbeza dengan enjin Campro biasa.
12. Apakah perancangan unit powertrain Proton pada masa depan? Adakah akan ada teknologi baru akan diperkenalkan?
PROTON mempunyai perancangan untuk memperkenalkan teknologi terbaru dan akan mengumumkannya bila tiba masa yang sesuai.
13. Berikan tips/petua untuk penjagaan enjin CFE supaya sentiasa dalam keadaan terbaik.
Seperti yang dinyatakan di dalam jawapan kepada soalan No. 11, pengguna disarankan mengikut jadual penyelenggaraan berkala yang ditetapkan.

A Persona facelift with VW face spotted



A Persona facelift with VW face??? Haha.. no it's not...
Read here:

Roman Jagatić is the latest addition to our ever-growing list of readers-turned-into spy photographers. Roman stumbled upon this strange looking Volkswagen-Skoda hybrid prototype parked at a gas station in Munich, Germany.The test car appears to combine a modified body of a Skoda Octavia with a Volkswagen front end.
While we do not have a definite answer to what it may be, possible scenarios include a test car for a new Skoda Octavia and a prototype for a Volkswagen-badged model for select markets outside Europe.
It could also be a test mule for the Volkswagen Group’s new MQB platform, or Modularer Querbaukasten, which roughly translates as modular transverse-engine kit. The MQB will form the base for an array of future models ranging in size from the VW Up! mini and the next Seat Ibiza supermini to the upcoming Audi A3 Sedan and the TT replacement.
Take a look at the photos below and tell us what you think in the comments section.


'Vielen Dank' to Roman J. for the scoop pics!

Proton and Petronas offer specially-formulated ATF for Proton cars



Owners of Proton vehicles sporting automatic transmissions can now have optimum performance for their torque-converter equipped gearbox with the specially-formulated ATF-XP3 Automatic Transmission Fluid that was jointly developed by Proton and Petronas for use in Proton vehicles.


Formulated from refined high viscosity index unconventional base oils and special additives, the ATF-XP3 offers high and low temperature protection under all driving conditions while contributing towards extending the the lifespan of the transmission.

Having been developed specifically, the ATF-XP3 matches Proton's PES-1133 standard and is recommended for use in automatic transmissions that Dexron fluid is unsuitable for. Furthermore, it can be used on transmissions that require ATF-9 fluid.

“This exercise is part of our efforts to continuously improve customer satisfaction, and, we also see this collaboration as means to elevate Malaysian brands. In the future, customers can also look forward to more products to come from this collaboration, including a jointly-developed engine oil,” said Mohamad Shukor Ibrahim, Proton Edar Chief Executive Officer, in reference to the collaboration agreement penned between the two giants in 2010.

The ATF-XP3 is suitable to be used in the following Proton models that are fitted with automatic transmissions, Saga (1985-2007); New Saga (BLM); Iswara; Wira and Satria (1993-2008); Waja (2000, Campro and CPS); Gen2 (Campro and CPS); Satria Neo (Campro and CPS); Persona and Persona Elegance; and Exora (CPS). It is however not recommended for the Perdana, Waja 1.8 and Savvy as well as the Inspira due to different transmission technology requirements.

ATF-XP3 is now available nationwide and will be the recommended transmission fluid at all authorized Proton service centers from now onwards. A one-liter bottle will retail for RM29.96 in Peninsular Malaysia while our East countrymen will get it at RM30.46.

For further information on ATF-XP3 or your Proton car’s automatic transmission, consult the nearest authorized Proton service centre and Proton authorized parts stockist or call Proton i.care at 1-300-880-888.

Lotus Cars Signs Agreement For 270 Million Pound Sterling Syndicated Loan

 


SHAH ALAM, April 15 (Bernama) -- Lotus Cars Ltd, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Proton Holdings Bhd, has signed an agreement for 270
million pound sterling credit facility to be extended by six banks.

The financiers are CIMB Bank Bhd; Malayan Banking Bhd; Overseas-
Chinese Banking Corporation Ltd; Export-Import Bank of Malaysia Bhd;
Affin Bank Bhd; and EON Bank Bhd.

Proton managing director Datuk Seri Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed
Tahir said the seven-year syndicated loan would be primarily used for
Lotus Cars' product development and upgrading facilities.

He said the 270 million pound sterling was adequate for the company to
realise its five-year business plan.

"Obviously, when a new model is coming out, cashflow also comes into
our operations. The 270 million pound sterling projection is what we
need for the turnaround," he told reporters after the syndicated loan
signing.

Lotus Cars unveiled five new models -- Lotus Elan, Lotus Elite, Lotus
Elise, Lotus Esprit and Lotus Eterne -- at the Paris Motorshow 2010.

The models will be available in stages, starting early 2013.

Group Lotus chief executive officer Dany Bahar said the company has
been selling between 2,000 and 3,000 Lotus cars a year.
"We aim to sell 7,000 cars a year with the five models," he added.
