Just got an LC80

[vinj]

i read somewhere that diesel engines like it more if they are turboed than N/A. they are less stressed than N/A. They work effeciently, produces less pollution, more mileage. diesels like more air especially dense air provided by the turbo. unless maybe if you install a turbo on N/A engines, then that is another story but factory turboed engines last as long as N/A versions.

olease clarify, thanks.

Turbo diesels usually produce less pollution since the exhaust gasses are recirculated by the turbo in the combustion process... It is true that factory turbo engines can last just as long as NA engines given they are cared for since they are designed with more turbo-friendly compression ratios, reinforced/stronger internals, and other "reinforcements" that will compensate for the needs/demands of the turbo.

The turbo engine will also run hotter and take greater toll on the oil and other components as its ingesting hotter, force-fed air from the recirculated exhaust...

I guess they mentioned that they can be less stressed then NA engines in a sense since the engine will have more power to help overcome the weight/load of the car. (think: Tamaraw FX with the 2.0 diesel engine... lousy performance, poor longevity).

ok thanks for the input, but i think the exhaust gasses does not recirculate back in the combustion process. it still comes out the exhaust pipe. it just turns the vanes in the shaft. turboed engines get hotter air due to the fact that air that is passed on to the turbo intake side is near the exhaust gas in the exhaust side of the turbine. but clean air from the filter is ingested by the engine.

jayvee,
On your turbo inquiry- better ask the head mechanic at toyota on what specific symptoms to look for on turbo problems. There are varied signs, from oil leaks at the turbo intake, noise, lack of power...let us know what toyota says.

Thanks for the info/correction... I will try to research more. I've still got to learn a lot on such.

i also believe na hindi nga rinerecirculate ang exhaust gas. the exhaust gas is the one turning the turbo, thus making possible the compression of fresh air from the intake.

this is the same action as a supercharger, difference is hindi exhaust gas ang nagpapaikot ng turbo, engine mismo. may belt na nakakabit sa engine.

kaya siguro less pollution, due to higher amount of air available than NA engines. (due to the turbo compression)

peeps saan makakabili ng USDM lc80 parts locally? wala daw kasi sa casa, kailangan ko ng brake repair kit, or does anybody know kung pareho ang repair kit ng local sa US version? may abs kasi yung USDM i'm not sure kung pareho. any info would greatly be appreciated.

kung 1992 na orig LHD, gray market ba yan? dual aircon daw. someone is offering for about P790,000. 350,000 kms daw. wow, ang taas na ng mileage.

The local LC80's came out in late 95 up to around 1997-98.

Try checking out the Toyota part stores in Masangkay and Banawe to see if they can source the parts.

[promdiboy]

vinj saan sa banawe kaya? or masangkay na store?

[KCboy]

merin ba lc store sa masangkay? i live very close dun kasi....

[Ungas]

PROMDIBOY::: Try to PM Drexx here in tsikot or try 4x4ph.com he maybe able to help you with your parts inquiry.

[promdiboy]

thanx sir

try WAS auto supply in banawe

[kimpOy]

magkano na lang ba ang local lc80?

[luckytruck]

naku kimpoy, kaya pala binebenta mo ang trooper mo, mukhang may balak na mag LC80

andy

[ECG]

kimpoy,

di ko alam na binebenta mo
pero matagal ko na alam gusto mo ng LC80.

[kimpOy]

ikaw din he..he

wala naman akong pambili, non automotive project yung ifu-fund ko kung sakaling mabenta ang trooper.

[luckytruck]

naku, bad words yung "non-automotive project" hehehehe

but i know what you mean, life is not all about cars. kahit ako, hold muna ang mods sa kotse kasi lahat ng pera save para sa construction ng bahay what a bummer.

andy

[ECG]

ako rin binebenta ko LC40 ko
for non-automotive project

Yes, the brake pads for the US-spec LC80's will fit on local LC80's. Been there, done that

The longer-lasting LC100 brake pads can even be made to fit, provided you don't install the anti-squeal shims for the LC80.
