Isuzu Dmax Owners [ARCHIVED]

[x_jason_x]

memphis,

matagal na ako naghahanap ng K&n filter for d-max. Ano yun model name and number ng k&n cone gamit mo? and how about the tube? Tube for dmax talaga kinabit mo? naeexcite na ako.

[quiksie]

hindi ba mas mausok ang dmax niyo when you put on after market airfilters? May kilala ako, naglagay siya simota tapos bumilis acceleration niya pero sacrifice is mas maingay na engine ang umusok ride niya

[x_jason_x]

umusok? im not sure ah. Kasi may nasakyan ako frontier na naka k&n. Maingay nga tunog nya.. pero maingay in a good way.

[Djerms]

Otep,
Minsan punta tayo. Bisitahin natin si Kimpoy. Deym, gusto ko nung center console na yun. Thanks.

Memphis,
The turbo in my AT dmax kicks in (or at least is obvious) at around 1,800rpm. Not sure sa MT's. Close ang gear ratios ng dmax kaya maganda sa arangkada pero come highway, medyo bitin na at high speed. Thats the price we have to pay. Hehe.

x jason x, quiksie - Hi guys! jason talagang dapat ma excite ka, K&Ns are performance filters kaya moneys worth yan; washable pa with lifetime warranty. I'll look for the box tomorrow for the model #, better yet, ill take a shot of it so that you can see the mounts. I only used the stock tube muna (ala pa budget for the chrome ones ). No extra braces necessary. quiksie, thats a good observation but fortunately wala pa sa aking unit.

Ang na observe ko lang sa mga ganyang umuusok are the units that changed performance filters only after 10 or 15k na so that means nag build up na ang dumi so when the high air-flow filters were fitted in, malakas na ang hangin so POOOF! Besides, large plums of black smoke usually means your injectors need cleaning.

[quiksie]

ah ok po noted pinagiisipan ko nga din maglagay kasi dati may k&n din ako for my gsr. Kaya lang ayoko sacrifice ang ingay ng sasakyan pero lets see...

I love GSRs but never got the chance to own one. Ok, so if you want a "silent performer" you can get a drop-in type filter meaning pasok pa rin sa stock air filter box mo. No noise yet high air flow. May I also suggest not to limit your choice to K&N only; try also Injen & Airaid so that it can fit in your engine.

helo guys... dmi nyo na napost ah... hehehe..
memphis, magpost ka naman n g picsa air filter mo...

and i seriously doubt uusok ang dmax when you put performance air filter on it... unless mali pagka kabit nun...

ok naman turbo ng dmax ah... bumyahe ako kanina morning.. got 130 but haf press pa ang pedal ng gas... meron parin ibubuga... hind naman drag ang dmax sa starting... i can feel the hatak naman sa dmax namin.... but mejo bitin nga coz the dmax wasnt made for speed but for hauling.. kaya it has a high final gear ratio... i would bet anytime fully loaded ang dmax with cargo and magtow pa sa likod and kayang kaya nya hilain or tumakbo....

[jarhead]

memphis, ok yan rims ng dmax mo kc naka chrome ka na... 2006 kc yan eh and much better ang ride, also the seats-- nice more cushion than before... and very nive stereo also.... and a bit higher ride than the previous...

[ian_rex]

memphis marami tayo yatang ganun e. di ko sure kung sino pa yung may Civic at may Dmax at the same time.

anyways, ang turbo sa MT sumisipa at around 1500-1800 pero minimal pa lang yung- at least theoretically. kasi may nabasa ako somewhere na ang turbo talagang magagamit after 2500 rpms. at that point the turbo is spinning at 100-200K rpms.

me 2... i have a honda civic vtec 97 model m/t but very stock talaga.. but in a very good condition.. casa maintained... hehehe....

[ian_rex]

hehehe. ako i love it stock. yung lxi ko, di casa maintained pero well kept. yung dmax din all stock except sa bedliner. ganun din, di na dinadala sa casa pero alaga naman. nasa dugo kasi namin ang pagmemekaniko e. at in fairness, mas madaling i-maintain yung dmax kasi di ganun ka-complicated ang mga parts very basic. yun nga lang first time namin nagkaroon nang diesel kaya medyo kapa-kapa pa.

maybe so. pero normally kasi yung mausok maaring madumi lang yung mismong muffler. mga naipong carbon. 50K na dmax namin pero di ganun kausok. except of course when abrupt acceleration. di talaga pwedeng biglain kasi di nasusunog maigi yung fuel kaya nagiging usok sya.

[Djerms]

Kahit medyo binigla mo ang dmax, hindi mag-uusok (for ATs) kasi the AT torque converter does its job and the ECU also helps.

Pero tama si Ian, kung gusto mo utakan ang computer ek ek na yan, subukan mo apakan ng sobrang bigla ang throttle pedal at mag-uusok. hehe.

[jarhead]

kahit anong diesel naman when aapakan ng bigla ang accelerator uusok talaga.... diesel aint that easy to burn naman kesa gasoline....

[jarhead]

guys, tingnan nyo ang park and signal light ko.. hehehe...

[Djerms]

Eto ang gusto ko...hehe.

[x_jason_x]

jarhead,

naa double contact signal lights ka ba? amber color? naka civic and dmax rin ako. Pero 03 civic.

[Memphis Raines]

jarhead - bukas nako mag post sa pic ng filter, just came from a whole day drive; talagang malaki ang improvement sa power and more importantly mileage with the new filter. your lights are way cool man :cheers2: ok talaga ang stereo and its my first time to own one with USB direct na. Laking advantage for long drives coz my flashdisk is 1GB, so when i transfer mp3s from my pc copy/paste nalang NO MORE BURNING hehehe!

[Memphis Raines]

guys, do anyone of you know what's the name of the software that Isuzu uses to tune our engines? I saw this a few months ago at Isuzu Pasig when a Dmax was being serviced. They plugged the laptop sa port found under the dash then started tweaking. Curious lang ako. Im also looking for a software that's usually used to stage NOS systems like the one sa Fast & Furious . Baka may alam kayo who has one or maybe maka-download. Why the hell? I like to satisfy my curiousity on how it works. Thanks!

[Djerms]

Memphis,
Try to look for James aka Torque here in Tsikot. He is the marketing officer sa Autotechnika. He showed me a ecu analyzer sa Fort branch. Not sure tho kung may software na sila for Dmax.
