Isuzu Dmax Owners [continued]

[kurt]

next suspect nga ang pump, dahil walang tulo ng atf.

or maybe tension nang belts (kahit hindi maingay), may pag ka duda kasi ako sa kabit ng servitek gapan mga 4 months ago. kasi expect ko sanay na sila sa dmax at lalo na sa crosswind na malamang 90% same procedure.

pero parang kinapa lang sa pag kabit ng belts.
gusto pa ata tangalin yun intercooler/hose o parts paligid ng alternator.

hi and good day to all!

medyo baguhan pako sa pick up/ turbo diesel automotive scene but ive been active in other types of vehicles for the past 8 years. i recently acquired a 2010 isuzu dmax ls a/t last may for my daily driven car and now that ive got the hang of it, i was looking forward to putting some upgrades on it.

ive done much of the minor work on the exterior. its time time for me to do some major adjustments and i will really need some guidance on it.

i researched about lowering my truck down to around half its ride height and i was wondering to all those who may have done the same, with out changing shocks since it wont be too low, how is the ride on it? i know the front will be just an adjustment to the torsion bar and for the rear its an additional lowering block and u bolts.

another thing is about adding some speed into the engine. ive read about others putting in a blow off valve, is it done on a stock turbo or are the turbos/plumbing/intercooler adjusted as well? and for exhaust systems, any measurements recommended?

and lastly, ive been trying to look for designs for overriders made out of chromoly tubes and ive actually found one that might just fit my build, any body knows a fabricator that could create some? the design is very simple, just two bends and two brackets on a straight hollow chromoly tube.

im based in qc/pasig area and if theres any info on shops i could go see for these sorts of stuff, please let me know.

thank you so much and more power to dmax owners!

I think adding a blow off valve will not make the dmax faster. instead why not invest in a bigger diameter exhaust, better air filter, and chip.

as for lowering your ride why dont you swap your new springs for the old leaf springs of the dmax, its lower in height than the new one.

Hi makikidaan lang mga brader. Its good to see new and old owners here. Sold my Dmax a long time ago but still a fan up to now. ^_^

thanks for the reply!

what i meant about the BOV is that is it possible for it to be installed on a stock turbo, just for show i mean. i knew it wouldnt give any additional power anyways.

about the exhaust and filter, any idea where i could find a cheap drop-in aftermarket intake and a good fabricator for the exhaust?

about the leaf springs, could any body point me into the right direction in where i could find a second hand or surplus set of those and whats the price range of these?

thanks!!!

plan ko din maglagay BOV sana sa dmax ko kaso dont know kung san meron

ung filter naman e enough na sakin ung K&N filters or even replace it with racing filters kaso i have no idea kung magkano.

sa exhaust system naman,ok lang ba na mgstraight pipe ako? would it be so loud pag ginawa ko un or is it advisable to do that?.. kahit mgdual exhaust ako sa dulo or any advice na pwede nyo mabigay sakin?..

thanks!!!

Hi sirs, I saw a Dmax the other day parked at a mall and it was equipped with 275/70 size tires on stock rims I was able to talk to the owner and he said the 275 tires fit without any mods needed and no rubbing against the wheel wells or fenders occurs.

I used to think that the largest tires we could use on stock rims was Boondock size tires (265). Good to know I can put on larger tires with the stock wheels

HI guys!

I am using a 2007 Dmax LX matic. My horn suddenly wouldn't honk.

What are the possible causes?

1. Putok ang fuse? If so, saan kaya nakalagay kasi hindi ko makita yun fuse sa gilid ng steering wheel yun malapit sa door.

2. Di ko naman masilip yun wire sa may horn kung nakakabit pa. pero I think intact pa po yun.

Thanks in advance!

oo bro fit pa nga daw 275/70 tires sa dmax natin..late ko nalang nalaman about dun e.ako kasi gamit ko is ung tires ng boondock e..un ang pinalit ko.ung stock kasi ng LS is 245/70 lang.nakikitidan kasi ako kaya pinalitan ko ng 265/70. next time na palit ko e much bigger na siguro or maybe MT tires na ilalagay ko.

[jarhead]

yup you could install the 275/70 sa new dmax... but as for the older ones, i think its too big.. 265 lng ata pwede ilagay talaga... but if ur opting for a bigger tire, why not upgrade ur rims to 18" wiht 265/70 tires. looks good though withe an extra pogi points.. and you dont need to take off the tire when ur traveling or going rough roads... how much woudl a 275/70 tire cost nowadays?? i think it would be just the same upgrading it to a 18. my uncle bought a 18" rims for his new dmax and just spend over 60,000 for tire and rim combo, brand new.. ..

[jarhead]

mga pre, sino na nkapagpalit ng speaker ng kanilang ride?? just wana know kung wat size and whta brand napalit nyo?

[javee]

bro ako nagpalit na ko speakers ko. same size lang din nung stock. ADS ung sa harap ko then MB Quartz ung sa likod. nagpaset up kasi ako ng sounds sa dmax ko e. i put 12" subs sa loob. tapos nakatago lahat ng amps

[eggnogg]

mga bro hows the consumption ng dmax nyo pag petron turbo diesel gamit nyo? napansin ko kase yung samin parang lumakas sa consumo nung ginamit ko ay turbo diesel 13liters yung 500 ko pero 100km palang paubos na...pero dati regular na diesel ko 14.5 liters 200km inaabot...

[grandprix]

sorry wrong topic

[eggnogg]
