New Mitsubishi Montero Sport [ARCHIVED]

[arkuo14]

AFAIK, i think the difference with the Montero Sport GLS SE, Strada GLS Sport and Pajero SE with the 3.2 are minor tweakings with the computer box. The main adjustment made for the Pajero SE was to provide a broad torque band due to a heavier body. Other than that, the 4M41 for the 3 of these models have the same camote.

hi ianmitsulancer! your post just got me curious. is it possible to have a mechanic "tweak" my montero's 4M41 to match that of the Pajero? is it possible that i could add more torque or HP to my MS by doing so? not really into internals kasi. hehehe thanks!

Yes you can ask the casa, like what we do dito we reflash our ECU for a better program some friends from australia also do it, but im not sure kung pwede diyan sa atin like mine the original ECU version is 3 i reflash it to 4 then back to 3 again on my next PMS i will reflash and change it to 5 because im testing and tuning my piggy back system and also my turbo boost controller.

*aruko14, hi sir.
I'm not too sure if the casa is into tweaking the ECU but you can try inquire po and let us know about it. To this date, ECU modifications have not been a primary focus of discussion on the Montero Sport and Strada PMS threads. The minor tweakings i have mentioned are modifications made while the car as well as the engine are still in its assembly process. What Sir Dadz has abovementioned would be on the aftersales and aftermarket already.

It would also be great to hear from Dadz for additional feedback in days and weeks to come from his piggyback system as he regularly uses it.

Bukas pa full tank ko ulit para at least makita ko FC ng 4x2 namin.

I have no point for comparison kung underpower sya or hindi. Sa village namin madami uphill na matarik and di naman ako kinakapos kahit na puno kami. 5 adults and 2 kids. Siguro pag na drive ko yung 3.2 model ma-compare ko. Pero it suits our needs naman so no complaints.... So far.

sushiboy : yup pangit nga. That's the first thing I replaced after I left the dealership. Depends on the size of the replacement horn. Kung maliit lang, pwede dun sa stock location.

sir, paki-post FC nyo pag nag full tank na kayo

To all 2.5 4x2 MS owners, please post your fuel consumption and your own observation regarding the power of the engine, TIA

tanong lang po, did you ever try to paired your BT nokia to your JVC stock?
TIA

Ano mga ikakabit mo na stuff sir? seps, ampli and sub.. paaudi din ako pag nagkita tayo.

rf amp, mb quart seps and coax, jl sub. i hope i can make it to the eb. i hope we could audi other set-ups as well. see you sir

FC on my 3.2 GLS, 7.6 kms on pure city. old school technique using full tank (hanggang leeg)

no. of kms.
liters of diesel loaded = kms/li.

i think the 2.5 GLS would go between 8 and 9 kms/li.

hi fellow ms owners... can someone recommend a good paint shop?

i have a deep scratch on my door... ... an A*#hole threw a rock along edsa (under kamuning flyover) unfortunately i was in the wrong place at the wrong time!!! hindi ko na nakita yung bumato kasi it was night time.. the scratch is very small but it is deep that it cannot be repaired by just applying a rubbing compound.. buti na nga lang walang dent...

i already asked diamond fairview, it will cost me 2.5-3k. The whole lower portion of the door will be repainted... i just want to try getting other suggestions/recommendations.. thanks!

JPG111.. regarding the stereo controls on the steering wheel, i'm curious what mitsubishi used the make it work?

My own assumptions lang which has no confirmed facts... The steering wheel control, if the wired types, most probably came from winterpine or its mother company wintersnow(?). I know that wintersnow distributed our JVC headunits, so if my guess is correct, their paired it with the avt steering remote module. And they were able to find the correct code for it to work, but my concern is, what did they do to the HUs?

For some reason, the HUs we get here in the Phils, well at least the JVC HUs we get here, do not have an control out, so no where to plug the module. I know this because of course our stock HUs we can see for ourselves, and then my DVD HU doesn't have it also, but if you buy it in the states, it does have it.. weird right?

Anyways, i know this because, like a lot of you know, i took out the stock HU and placed a DVD HU instead. Then, i bought wifey a new car, a rav4 to be exact, and she wanted sounds, or at least a unit that can play her ipod or USB flash. So instead of spending for a new HU, i put in the JVC HU from the MS. Its pretty good anyways.. but the steering wheel had a remote, so here comes the problem. How do you get it to work with the new HU? There are a few ways, but i insisted on wired connections because i would hate the lag on the IR types. So off i did the research, wintersnow had to take my HU for servicing, and add the proper adaptors to plug in the remote module. So they explained to me that they had to somehow tweak the IR slot in the back and convert it into a remote out port. Which they did and now its connected to the steering wheel... Great right? Wrong, then we find out the module had to be set to car's specific code, and all we had is the code of the older rav4. And now, i'm waiting for them to figure it out, while the module is already installed and paid for not knowing if it will ever work.

Anyways, the point is, if this is the way they did the new MS, then the warranty of the HU will only be thru them and not JVC... I am happy that they added the steering wheel remote though, but for those like me or are planning to get a new HU.. The steering wheel remote might be useless to you. Or make sure and ask what HUs are compatible with whatever module they installed so the remote will work.

I will not believe that the MS steering wheel remote are like other cars that have them because our HUs are installed by a 3rd party. Unlike other cars, the remote and the HU is from the car manufacturer, such as the honda accord or the new volvos, the HU is not installed by a 3rd party, it really carries the brand of the car manufacturer, so it came out the assembly line already installed.

But like i said, these are all assumptions and nothing confirmed. Educated guesses if you will. But then again, if its true, it might help someone decide to buy a new HU or not.
