How about this? Renault 3 cylinder turbo TCE 90 engine.

Because of the Perodua range of vehicle, there are quite a number of driver like to play on 3 cylinder turbo engine modified on their vehicle, and how about you think on this Renault new Energy TCE 90 engine?


The Energy TCe 90 engine is the first three-cylinder turbo petrol engine developed by Renault. It boasts the best driving enjoyment/fuel economy equation on the market and its user cost is reduced. The Energy TCe 90 will be launched in the future Clio and will gradually replace the current TCe 100, without sacrificing driving pleasure despite its 25 per cent reduction in cubic capacity. 

Renault's first three-cylinder turbo engine 

First three-cylinder engine by Renault, the Energy TCe 90 is the product of a brand-new Renault design. This 899cc turbo petrol engine is all-aluminium. 

Featuring a very low inertia turbo (the lowest on the market) combined with Variable Valve Timing (VVT), the Energy TCe 90 boasts the best driving enjoyment/fuel economy equation on the market.

The new engine develops 90hp at 5,000rpm and torque of 135Nm available across a broad rev-band, guaranteeing all the driving enjoyment of a 1.4-litre naturally aspirated engine. With 90 per cent of torque available from 1,650rpm, it delivers smooth response from low engine speeds. Driving is smoother with less frequent gear-changes in built-up areas. Peak torque of the sprightly, free-revving Energy TCe 90 is 5,500rpm. 

The Energy TCe 90 delivers the market’s fastest airflow ‘tumble’ effect inside the cylinders. Combustion is virtually instantaneous and takes full advantage of the downsizing to three cylinders:

- downsizing is a technique which involves reducing the cubic capacity of an engine in order to reduce fuel consumption, while maintaining performance thanks to turbocharging. The resulting saving in fuel consumption is estimated to be five per cent ;

- removing a cylinder reduces friction by 20 per cent compared with a four-cylinder engine architecture of the same cubic capacity, leading to a four per cent saving in fuel consumption ; 

- the three-cylinder pulse, combined with a longer exhaust phase, is twice as powerful as that of an equivalent four-cylinder engine. This natural turbocharging means that less demand is made of the turbo which is in turn more efficient, directly benefiting fuel consumption. 

The Energy TCe 90 will be launched in the future Clio and will gradually replace the current TCe 100, without sacrificing driving pleasure despite its 25 per cent reduction in cubic capacity.

Isuzu Trooper V6 Intake Manifold Gasket

Isuzu Trooper V6 model, which have 6VD1, 6VD2 and 6VE1 engine on their range, found a very special piece of gasket that didn't found in their Top Set or Full Set gasket kit.

As a V6 engine, it is normal that we found 2 pieces of intake manifold gasket in the gasket kit set, and some have a surger gasket in it. The upper photo is the intake side for this Trooper V6 engine, and we can't found this pieces of gasket in the gasket kit set.

Honda Beat Turbo?

Just checking some info on the Honda latest 3 cylinder engine, which I think it is so unpopular in Malaysia, it should be consist of E05A, E07A, E07Z and ECA, which E07Z have a Turbo version.

This engine mainly on the Honda mini car lines-up model, such as Honda Beat, Vamos, Insight ZE1, Today and Life.

With the E07Z Turbo specification which can  generate 47kW (64PS) and maximum output of 6,000 rpm, and maximum torque of 93N.m (9.5kgf.m) / 3,700 rpm, this SOHC 656cc engine looks like quite suitable for Daihatsu K-Car as well.

Oh, by the way, the above is just a photo of Honda OSM Concept car which is nothing to do with the topic of this post, just upload it for its stylish look.

World Engine Databook 2012 - 2013

This year I just received the World Engine Databook 2011-2012 courtesy from my Japan principal, and now I found that the 2012-2013 version is in the midst of preparation to be publishing soon, found this draft design of the World Engine Databook 2012 - 2013 cover in Facebook MotorFanillustrated page.

12月1日発売の[World Engine Databook 2012-2013]の表紙の色校が届きました。下に貼ってあるオレンジ色のチップ。これ、「特色」の見本なんです。つまり表紙は、通常のCMYKの4色にプラスして、このDICの160番のインキを使う5色印刷になるというわけです。
さあて、がんばらないと！
楽しみにしていてください！（スズキ）
