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

hehe... hi-ace ang nasa isip ko, kaya mahirap lagyan ng intercooler yun for sure....2.5 d4d(2kd-ftv) lang kasi, parang mahina, pero kinompare ko sa makina ng urvan-estate(3.0 zd30) at local previous gen hi-ace(5L-3.0) pareho lang halos sa sheet, pero malayo sa performance ng 1kz-te(3.0 efi) ng previous jdn hi-aces,e...

ps (to lytspid): pm mo sa akin magkano lahat lahat gagastusin ko kung pang-hi-ace D4-d (2.5L 2kd-ftv)

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...

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** · July 30th, 2007 09:03 AM

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.

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!
