Fuego Owners

[MartinTuazon]

hello fellow tsikoteers!

ask ko lang ang fuel consumption ng mga fuego nyo..

salamat po..

bdw, i have 2000 Ls 4x2

Headers and simota air filter
235/75/r15 dueler a/t tyres

--10 kilometers to a liter

mejo matakaw nga po.. bka may advice po kayo para tumipid po.. thank you!

[ramledi]

magpacomplete tune-up muna kayo then observe

kung ganon pa rin ipalinis nyo yung injectors costs around php125/injector at local calibration centers

kung ganon pa rin magpacalibrate kayo cost around php2200(gaskets, o-rings and labor)

just my opinion from experience though

[MartinTuazon]

sir may lapit ako carmona cavite. taga cavite ka dba? baka may marecomend ka maayos na calibration center. palinis ko injectors ko..

[Blaster87]

Me too! I'm based in the Ortigas Area. I may need to get my injectors re-calibrated soon. Do you have any recommendations?

I make 15 kpl-max on the highway based on the number of liters I consume between fill ups of BIODIESEL. Driving habit, road and traffic condition and fuel choice affect the consumption of my truck. Here in the city, I consume around 9-10 kpl

My truck is a 99 Fuego 4x4

Cheers!

Sir anong best brand ng diesel para sa fuego mo? ung pinakamatipid. tia

[Gerbo]

For my 4JA1-T powered Fuego, its Flying V biodiesel.

eto gawa ko tuwing tune-up
1 change engine oil mobil delvac mx 15w-40
2 change oil filter oem
3 change fuel filter oem every other tune-up
4 clean air filter/change air filter oem anually
5 change transmission oil anually mobil delvac mx 15w-40
6 change differential oil anually mobil mobilube hd 80w-90
7 bleed fuel line
8 drain water separator
9 clean injector yearly

ang dami ano hehehe maarte kasi ako sa maintenance e hehehe

tama lang naman sir mas maganda naman talaga pag mas alaga. anyway, iniisip ko baka mas malakas kain ng pick-up ko kasi d na stock ung headers nya ang ung tyres ko naman 235/75/r15 da dueler so mejo mas malaki. ung hatak ok naman. try ko parin ung advice mo na palinis injector bka sakali tumipid and mas gumanda ang takbo.

[ramledi]

ang palatandaan ng dirty injector ay excessive whit smoke kahit idle at running at mapalag ang makina kung hindi naman ganon sasakyan nyo pwedeng di muna siguro kayo magpalinis ng injector

pero kung may money at time(medyo matagal kasi linisin dahil medyo mahirap tanggalin at ibalik) why not hehehe part of maintenace din naman kasi yun

san ka nagpapalinis ng injector? betan calibration is still not up as of my last inquiry eh

[jetloks]

I recently acquired a '01 fuego 4x2, 2.8 di turbo, A/T.
What's the engine oil capacity of a 4JB1T engine?
What shop do you owners recommend aside from casa for usual tune ups, oil changing and other fi-ups?
Thanks in advance.

lam ko wala mashado nagbebenta ng 2nd hand. kalimitan brand new.

[MartinTuazon]

ask ko lang thoughts nyo.

from a dead start, do you start on 1st gear or 2nd gear?

pansin ko kasi sa gear ratio ng fuego ko, dapat laging 1st gear ang umpisa.

worried lang kasi ako na baka loosing torque and truck ko since lahat ng ibang diesel na nakikita ko ( mitsu, toyota, other isuzu) starts sa 2nd gear w/o a problem. pag sakin ko ginawa, bitin.

share naman your thoughts guys. salamat.

Sir natural lang yan.Dalawa naging fuego ko talagan 1rst gear ako pag start from a dead stop hirap sa second.Totoo ung mitsu L300 khit second gear mo istart okay lang.Bukod sa mas malakas ang torque nang 4d56 iba ang gear ratio nang trans at differential.

+1 to this. Besides, I would not personally recommend that you get used to starting at 2nd gear specially if you have load.

Mart,

Its all about the gear ratio. I too, have noticed this with the other pick ups (other brands) in the group. One thing is that the Fuego has a higher top speed. Don't worry, the Isuzu Fuego is still one of the top performers in its class. The 2800 Turbo was way ahead of the rest in its class when it came out in the nineties. Torque-wise, there is nothing really for you to worry about. Just keep in mind the fact that our rides are diesel powered and were meant for a specific purpose. Today's Ford Focus diesel was designed for a different purpose also. Keep watching your exhaust smoke. If you are emitting a lot of black smoke, then efficiency is going down. drive within the efficient limits. Sa eyeball natin maaayos iyan.

Fuego!

Blast,

great to have you back!

pag naka-test drive ako ng ibang fuego then malalaman ko talaga ang sagot. pls correct me if im wrong but i think directly comparing it to other 4ja1's (such as hilanders,crosswinds) is not enough. i think i need to actualy drive a fuego same as mine to see if there would be any difference at all. Ill let you drive my truck sa eyeball natin for you to check also.

Pero sa tingin nyo, iba-iba ba ang gear ratios ng hilander, crosswind, and fuego? Iv always wondered.

Thanks guys.

Fuego!!!
