tanong ko lang po kung ang vgt ng carens ay oil cooled or oil and water cooled, kasi may nabasa po ako sa net na pag oil cooled, required ang Turbo Timer pero pag oil and water cooled hindi na raw po required, someone care to explain?

I don't think Carens turbo is water cooled. But you can take a look at the engine exhaust manifold and see if there are water pipings there. Turbo damage happens when after a high RPM run then the engine is immediately turned off. The turbo still spins at very high rpm and the oil supply is cutoff. When it overheats, it may damage the bearings. So take a while (10+ seconds) before turning off the engine.

does casa have this turbo timers?

pwede po bang bumili ng turbo timer sa labas and have it installed also there or have it installed by casa?

*C190 & LR, ano po ang ginawa nyo sa old alarm, replaced it also with this GT808 or 2 na alarm?

hindi tinangal yung old alarm... depende sa wiring ng kotse... sa santa fe pwede mo gamitin yung old alarm pag naka valet mode ka.... sa sportage naman pwede mo gamit ng sabay yung alarm...hehe naka dual alarm ka na...

it pays to have a turbo timer, this really comes handy when ur n a hurry to leave d car after some heavy driving, saves u the agony of waiting for turbo cool down time. Added to this, may kamahalan dn turbo ng carens natin, vgt kc. I learned my lesson well noon sa starex namin, sheld out 75k sa replacement tsk tsk

After reading this and researching what are the benefits of a turbo chrarger, it occurs to me na kailangan pala talga ito, especially tulad ko na sanay sa sedan na patay lang ng patay ng makina without even considering to idle my engine for a period of time, to let it cool down....biiiggg mistake.

Isa nalang problema ko ngayon...i'm from cavite, and i don't want to drive down to banawe or quezon city just for this. baka naman meron dito na taga cavite, who can recommend where i can get my carens to be fitted with a turbo charger...and 1 more, wala bang issue pag dating sa warranty ng electrical incase sa labas ipakakabit ito?

Thanks sa mga suggestion...malaking tulong, i love my carens hehehe.....nag seselos na ata yung sentra ko at hindi ko na nasasakyan manlang, simula ng ma acquire ko ito.

[vinrem]

Yeah me too, naku i have to hurry na pala, baka mapano pa vgt turbo ng carens ko, malaking sakit din sa ulo pag nasira ito.

Maam LR, magkano po bah ang K&N filter???

[rst619]

Ako gusto ko sana magpakabit ng turbo timer kaya lang baka intayin ko na munang mag lapse ang warranty ko bago magpakabit. Why? kasi in the off chance na may factory defect and/or kailangan mo ng warranty service for the engine and turrbocharger, even if hindi naman related ang pagkakabit mo ng turbo timer e I am sure pahirapan yan ( in all likelihood hindi pa i honor warranty claim mo).

Altho the turbo timer ( esp those recommended by fellow tsikoteers ) are good per se, its a risk you have to consider prior to installation.

you don't really need one. of course if you can afford it (the unit and not having to mind voiding your warranty), you can have one installed.

the point lang naman is you only need to cool things down when you've driven it hard. how hard is sometimes subjective.

there's two ways. either you leave the engine idling for a couple of minutes (which is what the turbo timer does) OR a kilometer, maybe, before you reach your destination, you start to slow down. that way, you can just turn off the engine immediately when you get there.

Sir itlog, its easier said than done, when i drive my carens i always forget to let my baby cool down, lagi itong nangyayari if i went to buy something sa mall or sa mga resto or if i go to see some friends or relatives. Pag uwian na, i do also forget kaso medyo na cool down na din ng konti kasi i have to wait for maybe around 15-30sec for someone to open the gate for me sa bahay.
