regarding turbo timer when is the turbo activited at what speed? i have read another forum pag city driving lang d naman gaano nag activate nang turbo timer is that true?

[j@sto]

got my mags and tires in severino reyes street manila, close at tondo. for me, the ride is the same as the stock mags. the montero sport's suspension and ride is way way better than the stock fortuner. fitting 20s with 50 series tires are ok. no woorries.

sir kcboy:
how much did it cost you for the whole set of new alloy wheels and tires? what's the width of the tire ?/50/20, brand. That is the kind of design i am looking for, looks like a higher end, even beyond SE, close to pajero stock. thanks in advance!

sir kcboy, just an additional question of j*sto , what is the brand of your tire for your 20's and name of the rim?

Appreciate your answer, thanks in advance.

The turbo will heat up whether you rev up the engine or not since exhaust gasses passes thru it. The real purpose of cooling down before turning it off is for the impeller to stop spinning before the oil is cut off when turning off the engine. The turbo imepller spins at high speed turning off the engine will stop the oil from going to the impeller bushings which will damage them in the long run. staying on idle for a minute or so will make the impeller stop spinning. Ang biggest mistake others do is to idle for 1 minute then rev up before turning off the engine.

ser ARB, i think most of your statements are correct. and i do agree with your advices on how to prolong engine/turbo life. do a proper cool down, let the turbine spin down before shutting down engine and its precious oil/water circulation to prevent cooking its lubricant to a burnt crisp...

however the last part of "then rev up before....." though yes its a good advice but i don't think it would do any harm to the turbo because the engine has "NO LOad" therefore it won't go into boost. that's how my Hilux Diesel engine works, and that's what i observed in turbo'd WRX Imprezza STI's.... doing a clutch dump on them at 6-7T RPM temporarily stalls the engine somewhat because even though u wring out the life in them, the turbo still not running....??? please correct me if i'm wrong
....
there are some vids of heavily MOD'ed cars with turbo and turbo boost gage that seems to be running boost already whiled its REV'VED up even though its stationary / No Load to the engine...this one i believe is a result of the Modification done to engine/turbo and how it boosts (early....)). but stock ones aren't the same.

dumadami na Montero Sport sa daan.. I see 2 montero sport on the road everyday..I'll be gettin my black GLS SE on friday..Ill post pics & observations on the MS once i get it..

[KCboy]

the tires that i had installed were 265/50/20 and the rims i think are TKW, it's a US brand but am not sure if it was made in the US. the tires i got were made in korea to fit my budget. i felt i had a good deal plus i traded in the 4 original rims and tires since i plan to upgrade to offroad tires and rims in the next 2 to 3 years.

sir, baka mas accurate info ni sir KCBoy pero just in case, I asked my SR about this. binigay nila contact details ng winterpine, and they quoted 9k. Di ko lang nakuha yung brand na gamit nila.

if you dont want the warranty to gey voided, you'll go to winterpine and pay that much for the turbo timer, a lot of strada guys had their turbo timers installed at miggyboy in caloocan, much less than the 9k quoted, i would not know about the brand but it's up to you guys...me, personally, ill wait and hold off installing a turbo timer, maybe if my MS is a year old or so already. hirap na mavoid pa warranty, mga aesthetics muna asikaso for now...

from what I've gathered before buying mine, and bad side daw are:
1) no 2nd row aircon vents/at isang side lang meron sa 3rd row.
2) mas pogi pa din daw fort (mukhang fuzion likod, at strada harap)
3) dealership

regarding number 1, it has not been an issue sa akin. the 3rd row is not frequently used, and the aircon is strong enough for the 2nd row.

2 is subjective. though i also don't like the rear very much, but overall i like the design better. i don't agree na mukha syang strada na me camper shell. lahat naman at ganon, dahil pickup based nga tong mga type ng SUV. for me mas ok design ng side ng MS compared sa fort. don't like that 2nd row glass at yung 3rd row ng fort, again maybe that's just me.

3 so far no issues. di ko pa din nasusubukan magpa service. i am just about to find out.

Thanks Ryu! Mas gusto ko naman ang MS sa Fort sa looks, maybe bacause Iwe've seen so many Forts already. I hope to get mine in a few weeks time :D

Boss KC, so magkano nga yung rims/gulong? kahit price range lang po. Thanks!
