New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[Drave]

Louchua,

Tagal ko nang naisip yan. Yung animal edition sa UK ay tuned yung chip kaya 160 hp and 370nm torque yung 2.5 L. Walang 3.2 doon dahil hindi euro 4 or 3 compliant. Nagtanong ako at ang available ay PBox sa autotechnika, DPChip, Unichip sa speedlab. Price range is from 50k to 60k. Warranty is from 1 yr to 5 yrs. All chip upgrades can reach the engine performance of the 3.2.

Kukuha na sana ako kaya lang nadismaya ako dahil lumabas yung 3.2. Imagine there's only a difference of 50k between the 2.5 and 3.2. Parang nilibre na yung LSD. Oh well...

Sir Louchua

Meron Triton(Strada) 3.2 DI-D Mod chip mentioned sa site (V-CR for 479 Quid)
From 160 bhp to 180 bhp
From 276 lbs/ft to 307 lbs/ft

nakita ko nga yung V-CR na yun.. malamang pareho lang naman compatibility nito sa 2.5L and 3.2L. 2.5L lang kasi yung akin.

Can the ECU's be tuned? or is it the same as 'Chipped'?

yun nga ang d ko alam sa mitsu UK.. not sure kung chipped yung mga top variants nila or totally remapped ang ECU for more power. actually im not sure kung pareho lang ba yung "chipped or ECU ramap na sinasabi." pero kung pareho man, the good thing there is mitsu na mismo nagiinstall. they even have the Rallitronic package if you want more power. available ito sa top variant na elegance upgrade.

may nakita ako sa ebay ralliart na chip kaya lang d compatible sa strada natin. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RALLIART-POWER...QQcmdZViewItem
read through it may nakalagay na [SIZE=2][SIZE=2][SIZE=2][SIZE=1][SIZE=4][SIZE=4][SIZE=2]"(will not fit the new shape Mk6 yr 2006-on)" ibig ba sabihin nito na may ralliart chip din for the current strada with that model#?[/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE]

* drey.. sir ito po ba yung site na post niyo? http://www.dpchip.com.au I checked it parang pareho lang dun sa tunit.. 2.5 DID HP from 136 to 163 and NM from 314 to 355.

thanks for clarifying sir.. oo nga with the 50k difference plus LSD pa.. nagiisip ako parang gusto ko kumuha, the thing is d ko alam kung anong klase and kung good idea ba ito in the first place. also with the warranty issues.

What I know is that the upgrade chips that are available here are piggybacks. Remaps or reflash are different, I guess.

Louchua,

I think nobody wants to take the first plunge. If somebody finally does, many will follow. If you're afraid of the engine warranty, you can actually take it off easily coz it's plug and play, meaning, no cutting of wires.

To give you an idea, here's what I've studied, so far.

1. There's only product warranty and no engine/drivetrain warranty here in RP. If you're in europe (well, obviously not), PBox has engine/drivetrain warranty for 3 years. That's how confident they are.

2. PBox, austrian made, can be ordered via autotechnika. Cost is about 56k including a remote switch (you can turn it off). Product warranty is 2 yrs. Plug and play. Claimed power increase is 163hp and 377nm trq. They have experienced installing it to forts and patrols, but not yet strada, and so far, no complaints.

3. DPchip, australian made. Cost is about 60k, with remote switch. Product warranty is 5 yrs. Claimed power increase is 163hp and 355nm torque. You can ask for home service even if you live far. They have installed some already.

4. Speedlab. Unichip yata, plug and play is about 50k without remote switch, 1 yr warranty. If you're in a tight budget, it's 30k, not plug and play but the same chip and you have to leave your vehicle in their garage for 2-3 days. The good thing is speedlab can assist you if you plan to add modifications in your vehicle.

5. These prices are 4-6 months ago and may have changed. There are also more choices now.

Hope this helps.

I saw another one released today. GLX Variant. Almost everyday may nakikita akong new release na Strada.

gdam tsikoteers! just this morning, on my way to office, lakas kasi ng ulan, i tried using 4WD, nung malapit nako sa office pag turn ko napansin ko parang hirap umandar, kala ko nung una flat lang, tas baba ako hindi naman.. tas check ko ulet, pag nag turn talaga hirap umandar, pag nag turn lang naman. aun balik ko let sa 2WD.. pero i think it has nothing to do naman with my previous problem (steering column) haayyy, dapat ma check to let sa casa.. sa mga strada owners check nyo din..

[Drave]

Brynlops,

Tire binding yan. Ibig sabihin, the road is not slippery enough for you to use the 4x4 especially when turning. There's nothing wrong and it's in the design of mitsu 4x4. It may shorten the life of your drivetrain if you use it that way often. Ako, pag maulan ng malakas sa highway, ginagamit ko lang pag straightaway pero hindi rin palagi. Sa putikan, pwedeng-pwede.

Kagagaling lang ng strada ko sa Samar pero di ako sumama. May heavy downpour, konting baha at landslide sa Bicol at buti na lang strada yung dala ni misis. Di raw sila kinabahan.

Pero mukhang may nararamdaman ako sa steering ko ngayon . Parang may maluwag at hindi pantay ang kain sa gulong ko. Papa-check ko kaagad as soon as I can and will give you guys updates.

[louchua]

Nangyari din sa akin yan around 4000 km pa lang takbo ng strada ko.. naramdaman ko bigla parang may maluwag tapos may kabig na to the right.. brought mine to casa right away tapos chineck nila, namisalign lang daw. sabi nila d naman daw iniisa-isa ng alignment every unit sa assembly, simply pinatatakbo lang daw sa isang straight plane then pag straight ang takbo ok na. kaya normal daw yun which is why may warranty daw sila pero until 5000 km lang daw sa alignment i was told. buti umabot pa ako. not sure lang kung totoo yun. after nun ok na nawala na yung kabig.

*drave

thanks bro for the info.. iba kasi ang dating, parang nag running flat ka, parang nag bbounce ng konti tas hirap umandar.. this is my first time kasi to use 4WD, dati yung fuego ko 4X2 lang..

[[r]ichkri3g]

i saw a Black GLX Strada with 20' or 22' Blings earlier at greenhills, ganda ng porma! DUB street truck talaga ang porma niya.

*Drave

nasa san juan area ka ba kanina? malapit sa ash creek center? i saw a Strada just like yours, pati mags & tires parehong-pareho eh.

Whaaat? Pareho kame? Kailangan ko na yatang mag-order nung center cap specific for gramlights ah. I bet wala pa sya noon hehehe....

[nayrd1stud]

gdpm mga sirs... ask ko lng po kung mahirap din ba i.maneobra ung 3.2 nyo? kasi base from experience dun sa isa kong tsikot, ok lng na one hand ang gamitin ko sa steering wheel... d2 ksi sa strada parang ang hirap and i need two hands to turn d wheel? ok lng nman kung one hand kaso medyo matigas... kaya tuloy madalas kong napipindot ung busina lalo na pag natataranta ako kasi may kasunod ako sa likod...

[[r]ichkri3g]

Whaaat? Pareho kame? Kailangan ko na yatang mag-order nung center cap specific for gramlights ah. I bet wala pa sya noon hehehe....

hehehe. nakita ko ulit yung Strada na nakita ko yesterday, this time naka-park naman sa mismong harap ng Ash Creek Center near Starbucks. what tires are you using? parang mud tires yung sa kanya eh. btw, ano yung rubber container thing sa cargo bed ng Strada mo? meron din ganon yung Strada na nakikita ko eh.

[Drave]

Nagpunta ako sa casa kanina para i-consult yung nararamdamang kong maluwag sa manubela. Sabi sa akin ay mukhang sa steering column ang diperensiya at papalitan daw nila ng libre dahil sa warranty. Sabi daw ay may mga ilan na silang pinalitan at may directive daw talaga sila galing planta. Yung ipapalit daw ay improved design. So far daw, yun lang ang complaints sa bagong strada. Natuwa naman ako dahil hindi na ako pinaikot-ikot. Magaling talaga ang service dito sa San Pablo .

Yun naman sa gulong na hindi pantay ang pudpod, simple alignment lang daw.


Nayrd1stud,

Malambot dapat at kayang-kaya sa one hand ang steering. Ipatingin mo lang sa casa.

[Drave]

Grrrrrrr.......

[[r]ichkri3g]

Drave ikaw ata yon eh! :2thumbsup:

[drey]

Mabigat din ang steering ng Pajero

eh pano di dadami, halos everyday 2 trucks of strada pickups (6+ pickups siguro laman per truck) nakikita ko along Ortigas Ave. Ext. papunta sa Cainta. diba dun yun planta ng Mitsu

the strada is making a killing in the pickup market kasi mas mura siya tapos ang ganda pa ng reputation ng mitsu diesel.

if kung maglalabas nga lang ang mitsu ng fortuner version neto strada, ala montero. sigurado tapos ang maliligayang araw ng Fortuner saka Sta Fe.
