[jarhead]

naging active ulit thread natin ah... hehehe.. matagal tagal narin since my last post d2... hehehe.. musta na srbogoy??? hows the dmax na?? ano na naman bagong upgrade mo dun??? hehehe... ryt now im leaning towards changing my grille like sayo pre but meron ako worker dito who knows how to make fiberglass things... baka meron gusto sa inyo dyan magpagawa.. specially the old d-max.. hehehe... and changing my rims to 18's narin..

[srbogoy]

*rna800 you can run at your desired speed with that kung kaya lang dibdib mo,,hehehe

*vanleano kuha ko dati kay dvldoc 195USD, pero meron na sa atin sa speedlab 13K+ with free installation.

*Bogan, with my intermittent injection sa 50kms run 2-3 ltrs lang ang consumption ko ng h2O/meth mixture, my tank capacity is 9 ltrs. boost pressure on mine was 15psi at nag open na ang waste gate.

*jarhead, bai konting mods lang planning to install the manual boost controller cabin mount i acquired from Latvia, just to increase the boost to 17psi.
Bai may tanong ako sa iyo at expert ka dito eh, ang clutch lining ba sa 4JG2 pwede ikabit sa dmax natin at magkano kaya, ito ang sabi ng isuzu mandaue (caballero) sa akin at php11K kuno? mas ayos ba ito kaysa orig at may qoute ka sa price ng orig?

[srbogoy]

new mods; front chin lip and bedcover with rail

[wildthing]

Yup, posted it here before, hanggang ngayon gamit ko pa rin at very satisfied sa hp gains when activated.

Bilis ng acceleration at walang kausok-usok at kung meron man grayish white at very minimal smoke ang lalabas during injection set at 7psi boost on turbo, means very good fuel/air mixture at cleaner combustion space.....

what about fuel efficiency, may improvement ba?

my dmax is averaging 8.9-10.9km/L (nagta-top speed ako ng 165kph on highways).

I am considering any of the possible upgrades - (either DEVILSOWN or Hydrogen generator...)

[srbogoy]

meron siguro pero im not interested on fuel effeciency, im for speed and quick acceleration, average speed ko sa cebu 155kms lang in 20's at maiksi ang hi-way sa amin kundi sa SRP lang matest ang top speed ko..marami pa sanang ibuga pero end of the hi-way na.

satisfied user ng devilsown kahit sa akyatan to Busay going to Balamban very smooth and quick.

isuzu owner's,don't know if this is new but isuzu manila is giving a 20% off on parts (cash basis). just bought a transmission yolk from them and its cheaper compared to other auto supplies. FYI lang po

[rna800]

Who has tried installing turbo timer in their Dmax? I wanna put a timer now coz I just can't stand sitting in my car for 3 minutes just to let the turbo cool down. Could you please advise me a good brand for Dmax and how much? Lastly, did it have an effect on your alarm? Thanks!

ganun b.. wala ako plan mag upgrade ng engine, maybe the chip soon kung mgakapera.. mahal kc.. hehehe... yup pwede ra na sya... almost the same lang ang duha... you could buy performance clutch lining dyan sa labas... whats wrong with your clutch lining na bai??? as for the price around that ang tag price ng orig..

[srbogoy]

*jarhead, maingay pag nasa incline idle at neutral, diagnosed ng isuzu mandaue loose na raw ang springs sa lining at kailangan palitan, inajust nila ang clutch play at nawala naman.
plano ko palitan na lang next year, may special tool daw sila na hindi na idown ang tranny at i-uurong lang daw upon dismantling...

[wildthing]

normal yata yung maingay na tranny na yan because of that loose spring... nagkaganyan din yun sa akin... napapalit ako ng de-oras ng clutch lining pero bumalik pa rin... tapos ini-adjust nila ang clutch play...ayun nawala na.

duda ko tuloy na 1-2-3 lang ako sa pagkakapalit ng clutch lining dati... hindi pa yata palitin, sinabi lang nila na palitin.

[romel.krypton]

hello D-maxers, Mga Sirs, i am from Cebu and hopefully magkarun na rin ako ng Dmax katulad nyo. Sabi ng Isuzu-Mandaue, darating daw yung unit ko two-weeks from now. Thank you so much sa Thread na to, ang laki ng tulong sa pag decide kung ano bibilhin.

[srbogoy]

*wildthing, ganun ba, makapal pa talaga yung lining ko, thanks for info at di ko lang muna papalitan ito.

*jarhead bai onboard pa ako ngayon, di bale pasyalan ka rin namin ni memphis dyan, di ka na ba babalik sa states? performance lining di ko alam ang type eh.

*romel.krypton welcome sa forum bai, congrats sa darating mong dmax, i'm also from cebu, mandaue, kita ta puhon..

[wildthing]

^^yun lining kong original was "nearly" original thickness pa nung nakalas... itinabi ko na lang para kung papudpud ko yung nakakabit, ibabalik ko na lang ulit.

[rasta]

guys guys, thanks so much for helping me decide, ive been reading so many threads about isuzu Dmax. now i bought a white one 4X2
LS series 4jj1 engine. it rides perfectly goin to batangas an back. thanks again so much for all your threads.

Hydrogen generators do not work so save your money. It has been discussed on the forum many times.

The Dmax truck depending on what nozzle size you want to run with the water/alcohol injection and on how much percentage of mix you want to run you can gain 25hp to 50hp through your rpm range.

We back our claims with dyno proof. The Isuzu engines pick up a significant amount of power because they are pretty inefficient especially the under sized turbo.

If you can't increase hp without adding fuel then you cannot get better economy period. More power at a lower rpm is where you get better fuel economy. Water injection with just strait tap water will give you a easy 20hp on that engine with no changes. That's something the scam HHO generators cannot do. If those devices worked would it not be easier just to get a tank of hydrogen and mount it in the trunk and route it to the intake with a regulator???? That's pure hydrogen and it still will not give you the huge claims of power and economy.

Dmax install. A simple crosswind dropped 6 seconds off it's 0-100kph times so you be the judge on the gains.

[srbogoy]

here comes dvldoc,, and hey the above dmax set-up looks very familiar to me,,hehehe

thanks dvldoc

[wildthing]

thanks devildoc... but I am more interested on the improvement in getting more kilometers per liter of fuel and not really much on HP gains.

in my experience, i am fairly satisfied already with the stock dmax HP. i am not racing my dmax but if i need the speed, the stock power is more than enough for me already.

do you have evaluation done on devils own on how much kilometers does it run per liter of fuel + liter of water/alcohol mix perhaps?

*romel.krypton and rasta: Congratulations sirs, on your new trucks. You both have made the right decisions in purchasing that truck. My truck has been with me for more than 2 weeks and it has already traveled more than 2300 kms, so far my only issue is it's too bouncy. But I guess I am already immune with it.hehe There are few squeaking sounds but they come and go and it really doesn't bother me that much. With its fuel consumption, I could travel almost 900 kms with 1 full tank with an average speed of 80 to 100 and sometimes 120.
