Revisit M18 on HR51S

This is a revisit to a car that was mention previously in my blog. The main reason that this car worth a mention even tho it is not a HT81S or HV81S is the engine inside the car. The car is a Ignis 4 door or in some market named as Cruze. The exact chassis code is HR51S. Which means it is a 1.5l engine car. But the owner proudly mention it is a HR81S - why 81 ? Here's why...
On the outside, it look pretty standard with HT81S wheels but what interesting is what inside the engine bay. Lay inside is Monster Sport tuned M18 engine NX18 with PFX intake. This means it is a complete engine by Monster Sport and it should churn out around 140hp with 180Nm to 200Nm torque. This engine is a dream engine for most NA tuner as it does offer great engine response and very good revving engine.
 Others special item installed into the car are bucket seats, titanium exhaust and Ohlins suspension sets.
Here is a proof by Monster Proshop in Shizuoka Iwata branch, a thumbs up by the chief mechanic on the car. I wish my car can have a tuned up there too. But its a long drive from Malaysia to Japan….. sigh!
More information can be view via the owners instagram page @mcdocument - Kazuma Ishihara
I wish for a test drive on the car, or maybe on Monster HT81S demo car...
