New Mitsubishi Montero Sport [ARCHIVED]

[easyman3]

Just wanted to share a simple accessory.. hehe.. I got it from my Honda Civic, and just bought hooks to fit it in.

for safety reason, this is suppose to hold back the baggage to prevent it from moving (front/back) in sudden braking. I suggest to use stronger hook.

But this one looks great!!

+ Unichip by Dastek (Power is increased by 21HP * 2000RPM; Tourqe is increased by 63Nm * 2000RPM; City Driving Fuel Consumption before was 13.7L/100Km and now is 9.5L/100km - Very happy with the result. )

13.7L/100Km is the same with 100Km/13.7L = 7.3km/L & 100km/9.5 = 10.53km/L. HTH

wow i like this!!! where to buy!!

on the other hand... i read this somewhere..

"Chipping cars is a very controversial area," "You'll find that some standard cars make an unbelievable gain when you fit a UniChip, but other cars - where the engine management is so close to perfect to begin with - you'll only get a very small gain."

"I've never driven an aftermarket system that drives as well as the factory computer - they don't have anywhere near the processing speed of the factory unit. The big question is - why throw away all the car manufacturer's millions of dollars of design and development if you can go in and change only what you need to?"

"Cost,"?? .
"There is no hard material cost in a reverse-engineering system, but obviously the UniChip is an electronic module in its own right. On the other hand, the UniChip can - right now - go onto the US-spec STi, whereas the generational change in its software has put everyone else back virtually to square one."

sama naman po ako pag may EB kayo dito sa bohol...

A very interesting read there. I think they were pertaining to the boxer engines of Subarus.

In any case of a chip-upgrade the best way to determine if there is indeed a sincere increase in HP is to put it on the Dyno to compare results. Dyno tests maybe expensive but they sure don't lie plus it gives the owner an accurate, pound-for-pound evaluation.

On a more personal note, if a chip user claims to have improved performance in power gain and fuel efficiency based on daily driving then that, in my book, is a success in itself in the end what matters is the user's personal satisfaction with this good investment.

memphis raines and juan591! paturo naman mag detail! i love cleaning my car up din. bought some stuff nga pero i still lack the know how to do it properly im willing to learn though and will absorb all your teachings. hehehehe

No no I'm not a detailing guru this is the right place for you to explore that wonderful world of cleanliness:

Wax on, right hand. Wax off, left hand. Wax on, wax off. Breathe in through nose, out the mouth. Wax on, wax off. Don't forget to breathe, ...

Oh yes! The rewards of a successful DIY is priceless plus the fun in it.

Well I don't think that you have to sand it down again since your paint finish is just on the last step. How about the paint shade match? Silver can sometimes be tricky.

Sir MR, gotcha sir. Thanks. Color matching is great. Walang off shade whatso ever. Thanks ulit.

toots saan ka nagpapaint na casa? my tailgate cladding is the same way. si ntyce saw it nga and said that they probably missed some sanding steps... havent been touching it though... afraid that if i polish it up, baka manipis lang nilagay nilang paint.. i really dont know how many layers nilagay nila so i might expose the plastic if i polish it pa... hmmm paano nga kaya ito???

anyway, heard from ntyce may mga kasabay pala ako sa na monty people sa atoy when i got my bumpers??? sorry mga sirs, i dont know your faces pa kasi so di ko kayo nabati :p dapat talaga eb na

numbah5 congrats sa monty! im sure youll love it enjoy!

Teejay, dude. In citi motors makati. Where the paint shop is really not casa but owned by a different business. Ah i see, i get you. Well i did do the diy sanding, rubbing, cleaning, polishing, glazing last night and all is good now. The paint shop (casa) i guess is good naman but they lack quality control and probably attention to detail? Considering whan i had my car done my MS was sandwiched by an F430 and gt2. Yung sa kanila maganda. Sa akin panget! To add up ginutter pa nila rims ko. Good thing i change to stock everytime i bring it to casa or leave it anywhere.

Thanks Teejay!

mga sir maka bili pa ba tayo ng honeycomb grill for our montero at 6k+??? i ask the mitsu casa in cebu they are selling it for 12k+. can anyone help me im located at tagbilaran city, bohol.

After waiting for more than one month, I finally got my Montero.
It is as I expected - very strong, nice ride, and something that would probably hold its value over time.

My buying experience was the total opposite though.. as it was total crap. I got the unit from Union Motors Paco/Mall of Asia, and here are some learnings:
1. Pick a good sales agent. The fact of the matter is, there are some agents that are good and clear communicators, and there are some that will do more harm than good.
2. Many sales agents will promise the world to you - Montero in a week etc. But in reality, there is this long line on the MS. Prepare to wait.
3. Try to look for a "sales manager". I shopped around for a Toyota unit, and found a sales manager that was just very smooth to deal with.
4. Do not rush on the MS. Ask the various dealers around and go with what your comfy with. Test your SA by asking tough questions. Whatever you do, try to stay away from Union Motors which has a lot of poor SAs, poor system, and seems to have few MS supply.
5. In the case of Union Motors, they seem to be totally disorganized from vehicle queuing even to releasing. I was not once give accurate projection on when my unit is likely to be delivered.
6. I got my unit only when I told them that I already want to cancel. For some miracle, I was given a unit the next day. The morale: Give a strong message that you cannot wait for long.

Hope this helps for those planning to buy a MS.

good day

have you heard about the V-TECH RED BOX?
they said this stuff is good for crdi engine to gain max power/torque and better fuel consumption.TIA

cheers

Pareho kami taste ni RevD... LENSO FTW! :thumbup:

Although ok naman talaga ang bling-bling but the Lenso suggests a more Macho appeal

Toronegro, Sir JPG showed me this awhile ago, but as i am not an expert, but from all the different types of ecu upgrades and piggyback upgrades i've come accross, this one in my opinion is not something i would consider getting..

This unit comes with preset factory settings, (9 variations to be exact), so unless they really installed it on a montero and tested the settings and locked it that way, they are just assuming and using general settings for all diesel engines. It doesn't seem like you can alter those 9 variations to your liking which really does not let you maximize your car's potential, it will probably add some HP and torque but for 25t it may not be able to be proportioned to the power gain that you'd be getting..
Also, our montero's ecus are one of the more complicated ecus (so i'm told) and we need some kind of by pass to be able to make our ecu recognize new equipment, such as bigger intercooler, blow off valve, exhaust, etc... For example, the unichip is a piggyback system attached to your ecu which enables you to do your own settings through a program, so you can make the ecu recognize new equipment and fully maximize all your add ons. If you get the unichip with the harness, its as simple as plug and play also, if you unplug it, your car automatically goes back to stock settings, while its on, then it depends on how you had it set...

So far, i was told that there are so far only 2 monteros that have in deed installed a unichip at speedlab.

A couple of FCP (FordClubPH) members are using the Red Box with their 3.0 Everests. Feedback is very good. Apparently, even using the lowest setting with give you more power/torque AND better FC. Tsaka plug and play lang siya, no need to splice any wires, etc.

Mga bros, how about the warranty sa engine? I know it says here that it won't but won't it be voided as far as Mitsubishi Casa is concerned?

Take it off before having it serviced or claiming for warranty.. they won't know the diff.. Just don't tell them.

The problem with the everest that, little gains would be significant gains because its kinda slow compared to our monteros.. but like i said before, the 25t your paying, you won't be getting bang for your buck.. but that's my opinion.. plus the reason why one would consider installing a chip or a piggyback would be because he/she would probably be a speed junky.. so.. this would most likely not be the only add on.. hence other add ons would prove useless if you can't use this chip to maximize those other add ons.

Sorry if i can't explain well here, PM me if anybody has more questions regarding that, and i will try my best to explain my opinion.. the claims i'm making are all just opinions and there's no actual factual evidence to back it up.

recently i get an offer from a tsikoteers selling this equipment and he told me that he had installed it on few rides and the result is good they even installed it on a pajero 3.2 DI D, well thanks sir ntyce for the info and feed back

thats the trouble the warranty will be voided ,thats why they are saying that when you´re going for a pms just unplug it and install it back ,after.
