3+ years review:-

1. Now have original CB23 Automatic gearbox 3speed. Added ATF cooler separately. And TCU with speed sensor in instrument cluster and throttle position sensor at original carburetor, to deliver original kick-up/down, and gear shifting.

2. Fuel Pressure Regulator added with return line to meter precisely 5PSI fuel pressure to carburetor, objective achieved (Consistent tune).

3. Electronic power steering is attached to speed sensor so steering get soft on low speeds and hesvy while cruising 60+...

4. Cold starts RPM increase (400RPMs added to idle) with touch of button ON, once warm up, turn off button and RPM goes normal to 950.

5. KYB SR special front shocks added for even more stable performance

You have a g100 gearbox, fully working too?

Congratulations, you are a diamond in the rough.

Yes Sir, got it complete out... had to get TCU fitted (which I don't know which model, but my electrician did it), added a throttle position sensor on carb (under dashport), added speed sensor in instrument cluster... and car shift as stock... kick up/down perfect too... I dropped fuel economy of 1-1.5KM/L but still getting 12ish in twin cities... Alhamdulillah

Can some one tell me is it possible to use coure shock absorbers in g11 charade

[pwuser167540300233]

Assuming front shocks, short answer is yes... But coure shocks are hard and leave G11 almost 1.5 inches shorter in height...

Correct shock in my experience is either G11 own or Duet shock (slight hole adjusted) and it fits beautifully... Car is soft and height is same... Am still using it!

[pwuser156515258934]

I want the original one but I couldn’t source them from lahore so I searched on pakwheels and there are option of new shocks therefore i asked but i will try to find these or if you base in lahore kindly suggest some good and reliable workshop for charade original engine

[pwuser167540300233]

You may try, am not Lahore based so can't help in this case... You may try Duet new shocks too
