In a remote Malaysian workshop, a daring transformation takes place as a Proton Putra undergoes a radical conversion into an EVO 3. Larry Chen delves into the fascinating process behind this metamorphosis, driven by the scarcity and high cost of true Evos in the region. By surgically altering the car's structure and integrating EVO components, including a potent EVO engine with big turbos and Link ECU, the team achieves a staggering 490 horsepower output.

This front-wheel-drive Proton Putra emerges as a sleek two-door EVO, complete with EVO transmission, interior, and upgraded AP Racing calipers. Chen reveals the meticulous attention to detail required to seamlessly blend these elements into the vehicle's chassis, showcasing the team's engineering prowess. Moreover, the workshop extends its expertise to converting other models like the Cedia and Weira into formidable EVO variants, showcasing their versatility and ingenuity in the automotive realm.

The narrative unfolds with a blend of technical insight and automotive passion, highlighting the dedication and craftsmanship involved in each conversion project. Chen's exploration of the workshop's innovative approach sheds light on the vibrant car culture in Malaysia and the enthusiasts driving these remarkable transformations. As the Proton Putra turned EVO 3 roars to life, it stands as a testament to the team's vision and expertise in reshaping automotive boundaries, setting the stage for further groundbreaking conversions in the future.
