how to overtake using Crosswind AT

[XTO]

can't relate to this discussion as my XTO is a manual one but i think practice practice lang because getting used to your car is the most important. knowing it's capacity on certain speed can make you feel confident and safe in overtaking.

Good for you....

i had my XUV since 2003 AT rin... para sa mabilisang overtake

PUMP the PEDAL unti you reach atleast 4.5K RPM then try to stay there!

Have a boost controller installed, and alcohol injection.

According to DevilDoc, they were able to get a turbo Crosswind's 0-100 km/h times down to 16 seconds (that's nearly twice as fast as stock) with injection.

I didn't see such a big change... but it's possible my XTO has a boost leak, a slipping AT or a worn turbo (130,000-150,000 kms or so...)... still tinkering with it. But I did gain some horsepower with the mod.

Just bummed because I got only 5 hp or so, and other guys with old-school 2.5 turbos are getting 10-20...

Bro, saan nilagay yung container ng methanol/H20 sa engine bay ng Crosswind? Wala ng space sa loob to fit yung standard 2 galon container ng Speedlab. Still thinking so install one for my XTO.

sa tingin ko bro, its lke changing the transmission itself na... because the gear ratio equates to a cog inside the transmission that in one size per gear... and CVT will be a far fetched idea... unless anyone has updates again on this.

Kung papalitan lang din ung transmission i think ang ipapalit ko na is ung manual transmission. I was told pwede daw yon. It its cheaper pa din daw. and I personally thing that is DO-able

But then again di na sya bagay sa forum/topic na to. hehe

If that's possible, do anyone has and idea kung magkano kaya ang Manual transmission assembly for crosswind?

Sa likod. Pero I'm thinking it might be easier to reinstall it in the front passenger footwell, para madaling abutin.

I really think we need boost control... or something... my XTO just doesn't have enough boost to utilize the benefits of alcohol injection. I'd love to tinker with it and see how much more power I can get out of it, but I'm too busy, at the moment with other things.

Pa install ka sa Speedlab ng manual boost controller. They offer one.
Bro can you post the pic of your Devilsown so I can see how it looks like kung nasa likod?
Thanks,

It was not really 16 second but a little slower like 16.8

Had to manually activate since the switch was a 6psi switch.



From the guy we tested the kit with and won it as well

Nice meeting you all guys!
Again thank you dvldoc for the prices, especially I won the kit, what else I can ask more ... can't wait to get this installed in my ride. Felt the rush when it was tested on my Crosswind XUVi today (3/22/2008). The Crosswind XUVI A/T with 4JA1-L engine performance is not one of those fast ride known to tsikoteers, but with the Water/Alcohol Injection tested today (I believe used with 35/65 mix), jeeez can't believed it just pulls harder, and harder and faster.

The improvement is very much noticeable at the top end... with the system turned off the acceleration at 60kph going above is slow, but with the system turned on, the performance from 60kph and beyond is a lot quicker. The gain in speed is gradual, but definitely its noticeable. Imagine that 5 sec drop at 0-40mph as logged by dvldoc's accelerometer.

You can activate it at 2psi on the crosswind and get a noticeable difference in performance.

buti nalang M/t ung akin.. 0-100kph kaya within 12secs. or less.. 3-4k rpm.. 100kph on 3rd gear..

dvldoc, the engine bay of crosswind has no space at all of the alcohol container and with 2 psi activation it will consume more. Where do you recommend to place the container and the suitable size?

Not with mine. I have a sneaking suspicion that either my turbo is shot or it's leaking boost, since the gains on my car are almost in line with gains on a naturally aspirated vehicle! Will test it one of these days when I have time.

Not with a Crosswind.

In the back of the vehicle. or get a custom tank that slips under the rear seats. or under the vehicle with a refill spout. Lots of options.

Your turbo might have a issue because almost everyone will notice a nice bump in power and drop seconds off there 0-100kph times. When I put it on my 1999 starex in May it was like a different vehicle.

[kulotz]

for me kailangan magpatay ng aircon tapos sa alam ko me binabanggit sila na teknik na pagtapak sa pedal para magdownshift hindi ko lang alam kung pwede ito sa crosswind

ahh im glad manual lahat ng auto namin haha

Yup. Am planning to bring it to Speedlab one of these days, after we fix the damage from the last accident.

Imagine... neon green... and it's been rear-ended twice now. Fricking blind people... stay off the road!

[Optimusprime]

gawa ko pag nag oovertake ako eh floor ko yung pedal tas konting angat ulit tas floor ko ulit sya na parang binobomba ko hangang maka overtake medyo mabilis bilis ang response nya yun eh from 80-100kms pero pag nasa 100kms and more kana hehehe parang pagong kung umakyat yung speedometer hehehe hinahayaan ko lang naka off yung OD ginagamit ko lang OD pag umaakyat kami ng baguio

Pano, Ma malaman kung sira na ung turbo o hindi? Speedlab san po to?

Hehe, That's Only Neon Green tas twice pa nadale... Ntapat ka sa bulag. hehe
just in case fill mo reflectorized stickers ung rear mo tas add somme blinkers. hehe Ü

[red16]

Ad lang po ako about the a/t xuv, mine 02 xuv. since na ginagamit ko ito kahit mag overtake ako hindi kuna ina activate yung OD nya! Timing lng talaga kapag nag oovertake at medyo risky ngalang. By the the way wag nyunang sabayan yung mga PUJ especially kapag rush hour, talo pa kayo sa pambayad sa accident. THanks!

[kevin3000]

sa mga m/t naman

eto sa akin pagoovertake
3rd gear muna until it hits 2.5-3k shift sa 4th gear habang umoovertake.. ayun lusot
90kph pasok

Tama, ingat lang sa pagsabay sa PUJ, baka naka Isuzu engine din yan hehehe
