so, yung P30-P40k doesn't include the install since you're from Davao pa. Since this is a "power-on-demand" type of system and functions like a NOS then you'll always need to refill it. Saan at magkano magpa refill? Intrested sana ako. My Sorento CRDi already has mods in it, performance chip, K&N cone filter, headers, downpipe, bigger intercooler.... don't know how much HP this is pushing but pretty sure is above the 185hp range.

Do you guys know any store here in Q.C. where they do diesel engine mods?

SaberRider,
Taas na ng HP, i hope your drive train can support that power!
Power will be worthless if you can't tranfer it to the wheels.
Transmission ang pinaka kawawa diyan. Kung AT yan i suggest you put transmission oil temp guage so you can minitor overheating.

Engine modifications for more horsepower will void your vehicle's warranty.

Be careful!

Yes, I've very well aware that it voids your warranty that's why I waited for the warranty to end. Right now, I need a new speedo gauge... sumisipa na ako ng 200kph sa needle and hanggang doon palang yung gauge. Both are M/T btw. I already did an engine dyno with just the tuning box before and it was already at 176hp. Now I added the air intake, bigger intercooler, headers and downpipe.

No need to worry about the drivetrain, I already own 2 Sorento's both almost the same mods. The other one is in Stuttgart, Germany. Mura yung performance chips pero mahal ang mga non-electrical parts gaya ng headers and downpipe so I had to get them here. So far, ok pa rin yung drivetrain on both considering the one in Germany already has a total of nearly 72t km on the odo while it has 54t km with the mods fitted in. I still prefer this over my Q7 and Range Rover, garbo masyado sa fuel.

SaberRider,

I'm glad you're aware of the warranty issue.

With that extra speed and torque, you may have to improve your brakes and suspension. Safety is more important than power.

Ingat.

SaberRider,

Autobahn tested na pala, keep us updated with your sorrentos.
Have you installed an EGT/pyrometer and a boost guage? Remember at 1200F aluminum components inside the combustion chamber will start to weaken and eventually melt (If sustained long periods).
If your EGT guage is C it will be between 6-7(x100).
