GA15DE Transplant

[sid]

Would like to inquire for those folks who have tried to do change engine from GA16DNE to GA15DE (japan surplus). Any noticeable difference in terms of power and torque?


Thanks!

Why do you have to change the engine? GA15DE is 1.5L compared with the GA16DNE which is 1.6L. A bigger displacement engine is much more powerful and responsive, in this case fuel consumption of 1.6L is almost the same with a 1.5L. In my case, GA16DE (B13 ECCS) fuel consumption is almost the same as a 1.3L, 10km/L on normal driving.

Why a GA15DE sir eh pareho lang naman fuel injected yun?
ECCS pa nga yung sa GA16DE eh diba?

If you want fuel economy, I think you can't get noticeable gains switching from 1.6 to 1.5.

Power and torque? You get less of both from the 1.5.

ako po ginawa ko ito from GA16dne to GA15de. no choice ako nalubog oto ko e. para mas mabilis magamit I opted for GA15de kesa mag SR20 ako.

power halos pareho lang may feeling lang ako noon na mas aggressive GA15de pero sa tingin ko ngayon same lang e. Per wikipedia they have the same HP rating di ko sure kung totoo yun.

consumption halos walang pinagkaiba.

The guy said it. Almost the same lang pala. So why change engine diba? At least mas sure ka sa stock GA16DNE mo (history, factory-installed etc),..

You'll never know the history of the GA15DE you'll get from the jap surplus.
