The Kia Sedona/Carnival Thread [ARCHIVE]

[diesoline]

thanks for the info altec. i haven't seen an optioned sedona yet. the carnivals i have seen only have the dashmounted monitors. so that means i have to make inquiries re those monitors na.

[Lensio]

diesoline, the one you saw on the picture was orginally factory mounted before the upholstery. I don't think it will interfer with the sunroof becuase it is just mounted with 4 screws.

My Sedona has a factory installed 7" monitor but my folks complains it's too small and prolong watching it makes them dizzy. So I'm planing to install a 15" LCD monitor soon. I can reused the connection since it only need the video-in input. I will post the picture of the monitor in my website.

[altec]

diesoline, my overhead monitor is oem, kasama when I bought the car. It was when kia had a promo, got a discount, 7 seater front seats, plus dvd player and the overhead monitor plus all the LS features before the series of increases, of which kia tempered the increase by removing those freebies. But in a year's time, nasira ang monitor, sa kakabukas sara ng mga anak ko, may naputol sa may bracket niya. Kia tried to fix it, di na masyado magalaw, but it is still loose. That's the problem with the roof mount, the constant open and close may cause such problem later on, versus the headrest mounted units.

Ok yung 15 in monitors ni lencio. But at that size, siguradong obstructed na ang rear view mirror natin?

[diesoline]

lensio, ang bilis mong mag-update ng website. how did you bring the larger accessories that do not fit into a balikbayan box to the phils ? via courier? cool nga yung sunvisor monitor.

waiting for the price list...

[Lensio]

deisoline, when I send a package to pinas, I use the Bagaheng Pinoy Cargo Service which is the most reliable door-to-door service here in korea for pinoys. They charge the package by box (regular and jumbo). Weight is not a matter as long as you accomodate it in one box. Extra box (e.g. small) is charge differently. They send the cargo by sea so it takes about 2-weeks to arrive sa pinas. For Jumob size (forgot the dimension but four 17" rims can fit) cost US120 delivered to my house in Bicol. If I need to send realy larger box, no problem, they just calculate the excess cost.

If anyone or some of you decided to order, it would be better to consolidate all the items and I'll send them to one address of your choice. Dito makakatip kayo sa delivery charge. Kasi pag-ibaba and adress baka Bagaheng Pinoy charge me by address. Ano sa palagay nyo.

As for the price, I don't know how to do it. I don't want to be greedy (hehehe), give me some ideas. All I want is to considerable. ALso, with my hectic schedule, I can only visit the shop on weekdays.

[bers]

Lensio, does the box at 120USD include the taxes already? also Does ph customs inspect the contents when they arrive here? (Im thinking they might intervene and ask for addtl charges.)

Maybe we can list the addresses of all those interested in ordering through you and once we decided on the items we will get, we send over the money to you. We then decide on the delivery address agreeable to all.

The shipping cost will be split based on the value or weight of each persons item. (the more expensive or heavier items will have bigger shipping costs)
Youll probably have to decide how much profit you want on top of it. Hopefully itll be affordable for all us over here he he

[Lensio]

bers, no the cost of shipping per box includes the custom fee. Apparently the the charge it by container.

Bagaheng Pinoy has/owns one container and leaves Korea two times a months (15-30). To tell, I send package many times already (even 600cc Bike) and never had problem with them. My boxes were sealed as it were I pack it. They even photograph the recepient and send the picture to you as a proof that it arrives perfectly.

Hello Lensio,

Could you provide specifics on the oil catch tank? Does it have an automatic oil drain pipe? How many microns of a partile can it catch? Lastly, How about the price?

tnx

rodski

[Lensio]

rodski, oil catch tank are simply normal tank with an inlet and outlet. They don't have a filter and automatic drain pipe. Its main purpose it to catch moisture and oil mist from the blow-by gas (componet of a turbo), that causes carbon and sludge build-up in the intake system and the engine. Thus it is connected between intercooler and intake pipe. Normally there is a PVC pipe (black) on the right side of the intercooler outlet. This pipe is directly connected to the intake manifold. See picture:

[bers]

Lensio, where does the other 2 pipes/lines in the oil catch (encircled in red and cyan) lead to ?

what sort of maintenance do you need to perform on oil catch tank (e.g. regular cleaning) ?

[Lensio]

bers, the cyan circle in connected to the intake pipe manifold. On the original setup, you have to cut this PVC tubing and insert the oil catch tank. (like a heart bypass), this is simple a level indicator on how much the tank is full. So it is important that the installation of the tank is vertical. To drain the oil, you need to unscreew a bleeder under the tank.

Normal it takes long time before it would be filled. If your turbo is leaking oil, you could immediately notice na madaling mapuno yung tank.

very nice

i think this can be done DIY.

lensio i noticed that you've got additional grounding wires too..just want to ask what are your grounding points? (where are they installed)

[Lensio]

Grounding is to minimize high frequency noise in amateur radio equipment. It's also DIY.

[benchph1]

no i meant what are the particular areas in the engine where you installed them? i also did that to my carnival...presently i have three grounding points :

1. intake manifold
2. transmission
3. alternator

i've noticed you have 7?

[Lensio]

Besides the 3 you mentioned, there actually 10 points, remaining 7 were connected to the following:

1.Body
2.Starter Ground
3.right fender and body bolt (noticed on the right of the pic)
4.left fender and body bolt (not shown)
5. Ground side of the radio
6. Engine Block
7. Engine Head

[benchph1]

oh ok thanks

i think you better add additional groundings to the alternator, intake manifold & to the transmission as well. coz they have electronic sensors. most especially the alternator.

your add'l grounding is really intended for your car audio right?

[rodski]

hello Lensio,

Plese provide me the price for the oil catch can. I need it to stop the vapor oil from entering the intake manifold.

tnx
