star sensor??

[chorizo]

For the info of fortuner owners, OME shocks are now available for your rides.

Has anyone tried changing their shocks to OME? Balita ko P26,600 ang package. Definitely softer ride but actual experience would be helpfull. Any feedback please.

sir vic, quick question lang, had the same turbo timer you have installed, problem lang pag nakaactivate na, umiilaw yung abs warning light ko( d ko napansin nung pinainstall ko). pag di ko naman ginamit yung timer d naman lumalabas. na experience mo na ba 'to?

I'm just having my turbo timer installed. Nakakabit na actually. But, a wire tapping to the alarm ON hasn't been connected. The timer already counts down but it doesn't leave the enigine running pa. My unit is now in the casa for the final wire-tap. I haven't noticed that the ABS light switches on. Pa-check mo sa nag-install ang timer mo. One possibility is that he may have tapped to a wrong wire.

Update kita once I get my unit later.

Just got my unit. The ABS light does come on when the timer counts down to shut-off. It's a reminder daw so that you will engage your handbrake and shift the stick to Park. Else, your unit might roll until it hits something (or someone) as the turbo timer counts down to shut-off.

I really like the audible countdown beeps. I'll post pics later...

Good to hear na ganun talaga pala. i thought may problem sakin. I'll be using it again. I stopped using it kasi when i saw the abs light up. problem na lang are the stares i get from people when they see me arm the alarm and leave the engine running... BTW, did you get to install the orange wire?

Yup! All wires got installed daw... Why'd you ask?

Mga sir, I have a 2.5D4D variant. Do I need a turbo timer too? AFAIK, the 2.5 D4D has a turbo, hindi nga lang intercooler. This is my first Diesel/Turbo powered engine and I'm curious if I need a turbo timer installed too. Is this necessary? What is it for? thanks!

My installer couldn't trace where to tap the orange wire (i believe its for the engine cut-off sa alarm) i'm really not sure. May cut-off ba ang alarm system natin? I would really appreciate it if you could post pics kung saan naka-tap.

Had mine installed at the dealer, eh. Kinaibigan ko yung SA, so my Turbo Timer (which I got from MiggyBoy Accessories) was installed at no cost, whatsoever. I'll try and see if I can get some pics of where the orange wire got tapped. I think it needs to get tapped to make sure that your alarm engages when the engine shuts-off after the countdown.

Here's a pic of where I placed the display unit/button - which is at the center button cluster beside the rear ACU switch.


Was considering installing it at the left side button cluster. However, the steering wheel tends to get in the way when you reach for the button.

Vicoyski: ask o lang how much you paid for the turbo timer and how long will they install it? tia...

Got the Turbo Timer from Miggyboy Accessories for less than P2T. Had it installed free at the dealership, thanks to my kind SA! Installation will take less than a day.

Wanted to put it there too, but found the display too bright. thanks for the inputs, i guess i have to check if the alarm does indeed work.

If you are disciplined enough to wait for a minute or two before shutting-off your engine after a long highspeed drive, you won't need the turbo timer. But, if you are always in a hurry, a turbo timer will work well for you.

The timer helps ensure that you're giving your turbo ample time to cool itself down before you turn off your engine. As to the kind of damage you can get from not cooling down your turbo, please search for the appropriate thread here.

[letranboy]

turbo timer ba pwede sa gas ?

[bilog]

pwede if your ride has turbo.

[number001]

And since the Fortuner 2.7 vvti has no turbo therefore the timer is not needed. :D

[shockz]

Has anyone tried these from Ziebart?
1) Diamond Gloss
2) Undercoat Sound Barrier

How much will these cost and how long does it take for both applications?

Does the Undercoat sound barrier really improve sound dampenning? Does it protect against rust? Or shall I have a separate rust proofing applied?

Thanks for your inputs....

Had mine DG, Php8,200.00.

Sir Vicoy, follow-up question lang kay Franci_Rod.

If you are driving at a highspeed, however, you slowed down to 20-40 KPH for a minute or 2. Do you still have to idle your engine before turning it off? Tnx

Someone here once posted that if you run your vehicle below 1500rpm for over 2-3 minutes, you wont' have to idle your engine for 1 or 2 minutes before turning the ignition switch off. Actually, that's what I do. I make sure I don't go over 1500rpm while looking for a parking slot. If the parking slot search takes longer, I won't use my turbo timer anymore.
