Montero Sport GLX 2.5 Non-VGT Owners

[monty_GTV]

I was observing wheel setups of fellow monty owners at zix shop yesterday, i was curious as to what has been the biggest tire installed on the stock rims for the monty glx, as far as i know the stock is 265/65/17 right? Has anyone installed anything wider? Perhaps a 275/60? Im curious of the acceptable range, ung pasok pa din sa wheel arches para hindi takaw tilamsik sa side ng oto, thats the tendency kase kapag labas na talaganung gulong e, i want something na pasok pa din.

pwede siguro bro but sasayad kapag liliko. you need to push a bit yung plastic cover ng wheel well. i'm on stock pa rin but i'm using gt savero all terrain, so far ok naman. majority ng mga ka-monty sa club na nagpalit ng mags/tire are into into 20's, 265/50/R20 sakto lang walang sabit and pogi tingnan. some even used wider like 275/55/R20 pero may sabit na rin yata kapag liliko. wider than that like 305/55/R20 need na yata ng 2" lift. i hope nakita mo yung kay bro zix, he's using 24's it looks good too, meron pa siya 28's sobrang nipis na ng gulong.

Yeah, i think 20's rims on 265/50 would just be right for my taste. A good balance between form and function.
Thanks for the tip monty_gtv.

Different topic naman, usapang matting. Ive started to nitpick on the free carpet matting that the dealership provided. So far its serving its purpose. Was in banawe yesterday and most of the shops only offer the "cut" mattings, meaning walang dedicated talaga for the monty.

Anyone who can share photos of their matting?
Im inclined towards the deep dish matting, or the 3m matting na specifically for the monty, not the putol type that banawe has.

Thanks in advance.

Mga sir, I noticed na 1/3 of the time when I start the engine of my 2011 GLX Manual Montero may parang nauumpog sa engine block? Has anybody noticed the same? Checking the engine wala naman visible na physical issue. Advise? Thanks po.

Nice one bro.

The leather seats of the 2015 MS is already comfortable, but that looks much more comfy...

mga ka monty, ask ko lang kung ppuwede ba natin upgrade yung non-VGT natin to a VGT turbo?

Possible po.

pwede but for what purpose? if you are after the response and wider powerband then i think mas cheaper na if you go direct for remapping with your non-vgt turbo. they can tune it to increase the response and you got more power output than the stock vgt. i own a vgt and may turbo lag pa rin kaya i installed a throttle controller...

It is very comfortable cathy. Specially on the lower back. I just love it. My wife loves it too. She experiences lower back pain like me so these are really suited for us.

Wider powerband meaning from low end grunt to high end? Or only the latter? Excuse my ignorance, havent really read much about the ecutek remapping.

yes,the vgt turbo since variable nga yung opening/closing ng vanes spools earlier at lower rpm than a non vgt turbo. supposed to be ma-lessen ang turbo lag but meron pa rin kahit vgt. sa remapping i think a stock non-vgt with just a k&n can reach 210whp or more. its more value for money than trying to tinker with a tuning chip. check out with bro zix, speedworks did some remapping sa shop niya.
