can CRDi's (or any of the same kind) be rechipped...

[parakitoJDM]

mga bro,if your interested in having to upgrade the power of yuor crdi engines,its a good start by replacing first the filters get a good aftermarket filter,then yuo go to yuor next upgrade the exhaust then as for the intercooler,its been known to lower the psi as it passes through the cooling fins,,thats why non intercooled turbo diesels has a higher boost pressure reading from intercooled ones..we have a system for turbo charged engines..it can cool down yuor intake charge adds power to yuor engine,,its a water/meth injection..or boost cooler..if yuo opt for an intercooler try to place it where cooler air can pass through it with out restriction... if interested on power chip or ecu upgrade ..our crdi tuning has a setting where yuo can set it at the highest power level if not satisfied with pre settings..

can u install an intercooler for my Hilux? its a 2LTE...

I still wonder how come these things needs to be chipped for better power. shouldn't have the maker did it themselves?

still have doubts parakitoJDM?

I don't see why you can't, I even installed a intercooler in a tight space Van.

your surf could be easier, heck adding an airscoop is even very possible.
while some people even put fake airscoops.

lyspid:

recived your PM... thanx! mga gaano katagal, ma-lalaman ba through dynotest ang result(before & after)?saan mura alam mo?

rion: ewan ko ba bakit di pa yung optimized chip ang ilagay ng factory-->siguro para may kumita yung tuning-deparment nila(ex: ralli-art, TRD, nismo)

pero totoo, iba na ngayon, rechipping lang laki ng gains sa power ng engine.. unlike ng ng old-school cars and non-efi-days pa....kaya ko to nabrought-up e...

[lytspid]

sir yumm...
khit d mo e dyno mararamdaman mo un lakas ng mkina mo..also pti un hatak nya..dyno butt lng hehehe... dun lng me sa speedlabs nka pg inquire ng dyno test..i think 2.5k ata un ..dun kapgwa muffler and exhuast sa shops na may mandrel bender pra mgnda un bend nla..sa ecu installation time is 5-10minutes pg ma init mkina..pg hindi less pa...

[alwayz_yummy]

thanx...may alam kang shop na gumagawa ng mandrel bend?

bakit po mas matagal palitan ang ecu kung mainit ang makina? papalamigin ba muna dapat?malapit ba sa engine bay yung box?

pm kita pag ready na ko, ok?

Because there's no free lunch. An engine power-tuned chip might not be as fuel efficient or as driveable as an engine on a stock chip.

[lytspid]

sir alwayz,
ma init un mkina eh and mhirap dukutin un plug ng crdi nsa ilalaim ng intake manifold pg ma init kailangan careful ka tlga kc mppaso ka ng mga tubo and metal na malapit dun,,as for the shop na may mandrel bending..sa mufflerland ako nka kita ng mandrel bender..dun mo na pgwa sa knila un exhaust tubing and muffler mo...

Just be careful with "chipping" or re-mapping. This is a balancing act and it is so easy to go overboard. It is very easy to get 20-30% more performance from turbo diesels, and more power becomes addicting. Just make sure you will get a proper re-map (fully tested with both short term and long term results) not the jurassic approach of just over fueling or increase in rail pressure (for CRDIs).

A quick way to find out is ask for dyno results with EGT readings or for imported ones, see if they are TUV rated (or its equivalent).

Take note all of these "chips" or piggybacks or remaps will not warranty against engine damage, they will warranty against defects/malfunctions of their products only.

And lastly, water injection as theory really works. This was my thesis when I was stil in the university. Again, one of the issues that needs to be addressed is the long term effects. Modern engines use various types of alloys for valves and valve seats. You need to make sure that the liquid mixture you are injecting does not corrode or adversely affect the internals of your engine.

Enjoy your CRDIs.

hello ser Rion, kmusta na? eto hanggang ngayon very busy di ko pa din ma DIY yung intercooler na yan.... ha ha ha. di bale pagnaka-tiempo talaga ako nung may kasamang cooling fan na para iwas sa heat-soak tiyak PowerUp talaga yan!

Yup. It's a balancing act. There's only so much power an engine will make safely.

For me, it's great to have the chip option, but I prefer for it to be custom mapped on the spot. Chips with set maps give wildly varying results on different cars.

Upgrade everything else first, then chip if you're not satisfied... ...breathing upgrades are the only "free" upgrades you have... ones that won't stress your engine more or give you other problems.

These include a new filter and intercooler fitting (there might be space for a Hilux-style top-mount on the Innova, from looking at the engine... but a front-mount is much superior) and mandrel bent down-pipes and exhaust. These should be sized and designed by someone reasonably familiar with the system... too much intercooler and you slow the intake too much...

It would be an interesting project... although one I'd like to see even more is a 3.0 D4D in the Innova...

based on my experience sa makina after the upgrades mas lumakas un mkina and un fuel consumption nya gumanda tumipid,,as for the first part ng mods na intake and exhaust medyo the same pa rin un power..after installing the ecu upgrade mas pumino un andar and nwala un ingay ng mkina..mas tumipid sya k sa dati..

ser lytspid, can u share with us (if u have) Dyno Run Before and After the ECU tuning... so we can clearly see how much power/torque it really adds.

[lytspid]

we havent tested it on a dyno pero the usual power gains for an ecu upgrade is from 20-30hp depending on the engine it was installed.. but yuo can feel the pwer after it was installed..we intstalled it in on a d4d 3.0L hilux..0-100 takes about 12 seconds.after installing it it was down to 10seconds..we tested it a couple of times and still it has almost the same responds 0-100 10sec and up..but never the same as before 0-100 12sec...btw theres no dyno shop here in davao..dyno butt lng..hehehe..kc yuo can really feel the seat of the pants respond after the install also un fuel consumption mas tumipid..

ah ok. good luck sa future DIY mo. it will be worth it I'm sure...
