Isuzu Crosswind Owners Thread [ARCHIVED]

**jondy** · January 28th, 2007 06:03 PM

We hav an 02 xwind XUVi Black. So far wala nmn kami pinagsisihan with our ride. Na experience ko na yung muffler and radiator problem pero last year lang nang yari yung radiator prob. Ever since 02 naka 3 shock replacements na ako sa rear. Now naka rs5000 na ako tapos nilagyan namin ng rear stabilizer bars (DAYTONA ang brand). Maingay na yung mga upuan ko sa likod and yung over fender ko sa harap nag crack na. Our headunit sa xwind medyo having problems na with reading cds. Right now nilagyan ko ng 3.5mm jack for mp3s. So far ang pinaka mabilis na natakbo ko is 160kph medyo downhill sa patag naman 155kph along the long stretches sa bukidnon. On that trip i averaged 13km/l. ang pinaka matipid na atain ko with fuel economy is 23km/l * 80kph average speed. Aircon is still very cold, wla pa linis2x to eversince. lastly nilagyan nmn ng electronic turbo pala ito b4 and it still functions very well until today.

Wooh!! pareho pala tayong nasa labas ng bansa , i bought the other extra studs sa SM Dasma in one of the car accesories shop there forgot the name, if im nor mistaken Blade yata yun e. have a question to mfgab mam, tanong ko lang po if what type ho ba yung foglamp bulb(H3 or H7?) ng sportivo natin (cant check it myself for the reason above). baka pwedeng pa check naman yung sainyo, tnx (it can be seen by looking at the base of the bulb sa harap ng foglamp).

Jondy,

Anong effect ng rear stabilizer bars sa tagtag ng ride mo? hindi ba nadagdagan ng stiffness? As regrards electronic turbo, DIY ba ginawa mo or nakabili ka ng aftermarket device? Please tell us how did you go about it.

BTW, I am born in Musuan, Bukidnon but I'm now in Manila.

Thanks.

Tulong lang mga ka-tsikot. bago ko sa wheels i owned a 2006 XT so far wala pa naman akong problema pero interested lang ako sa nabanggit nong isang kasama natin na advice ng mechanic nya to ask for replacement don sa mga dapat ng palitan before the warranty ends. Any specific about don sa mga things na pwedeng palitan before the warranty ends, and is this cost me too or mga labor cost lang.

Thanks...tsikoteers

tumagtag ng konti bro pero gumanda naman handling. pag madami naman sakay lumalambot nmn. ska in straight bumpy roads stable na sya and medyo na minimize ang rolling motions.

aftermarket lang yun. TURBO ZET yung brand. sa tingin ko hindi naman talaga turbo yun eh, parang nag bibigay lang sya ng swirling effect dun sa dumadaan na hangin sa manifold nya. may maliit sya na fan sa loog ng device.

eversince nakabit namin yun TURBO ZET gumaan yung takbo ng sasakyan. hindi na masyado gapang pag overtake ng mga big trucks.

peace!

Thanks for the reply Jondy. Bilib din naman ako sa bilis ng crosswind mo - topspeed of 160kph. Maybe the stabilizer bar has contributed much in giving you confidence of achieving that speed because of better handling (less rolling motions which unrestrict your sense of safety) in high speed conditions.

Regarding electronic turbo gadget, I have read in the internet that mechanics have yet to manufacture a super high speed fan that could produce a higher mass flow of air than the intake airflow of naturally aspirated engines during high speed conditions before it can be effective. Sana makagawa kaagad sila para mura na lang ang magpakabit ng turbo.

Pareho pala tayo ng unit 2002 XUVi Black din 'yong aking, A/T nga lang... AT din ba 'yong sa 'yo? Can you post a pic of your Turbo Zet Installation?
Also matanong nga bat 3x ka na nagpalit ng rear shock absorber? 'Yong sa akin di pa nagpapalit.
Magkano score mo sa RS5000? At ano advantage nito sa stock shocks?

Thanks.
