Just my opinion sirs but a strada is heavier kaya mahirap maicompare ang 4x2 L2 which is lighter with a heavier strada

konti lang naman ang difference mga 100 kgs. lang, btw, ano ang gross vehicle weight ng strada 4X4?

....kung gumagana na yung turbo intercooler. Is there a way of knowing it when it had kicked in ? Can I see this on the specs the indication where the turbo intercooler went into function?

Appreciate all your reply.

thanks-ch0k0y

some vehicles have turbo indicators sa dash, or you could "see" a how fast a turbo is spinning w/ a turbo controller or a turbo timer, pero kahit idle nags-spin pa rin pa rin yung turbo, but at a slow rate

turbos give boost only when you press the accelerator. also it gives more boost when there is load, it will not fully boost if you just rev it hard while stopping. yes it spins even in low rpm but but it does not give any power to the engine. to give yourself an idea if a turbo in your engine is already working get a boost gauge.

turbos kick in at 3k rpm, that's as fas as we calibration shops do it when calibrating pumps. we set it to manufacturer specs. at 1.5k on the pump but on the engine, that 3k rpm na.

when on idle, turbos spin at a rate of 25k rpm, accelerate it to 3k and it can go up to 200k rpm.

doc diesel, siyempre with the turbos kicking in that would mean more air to mix right? then why is it that at abrupt accelerations there are puffs of black smoke coming out?

kimpoy, parang ang tipid ng strada mo. saken 7kms/ltr this past two weeks.

or mabigat lang talaga paa ko.
