Tamaraw FX Owners

Sir KingIgnacio,

If i understand it correctly, you're still on a hunt for an FX? If yes, I would suggest you to directly buy a stock diesel fx instead, than a gas FX which you'll then be converting to a diesel. Yes, the diesel is expensive than the gas fed FX, but you'll have a piece of mind that the car you've purchased did not undergo a transplant which sometimes lead to concerns due to faulty conversions. Just my two cents.

Sir jvnj I currently own 1. It is a pamana of my cousin since still cant afford a brand new one at the moment. It is a 96 GL 7k and since the hefty gas price, at least 20-22 pesos difference/liter, I am considering to convert it to diesel instead...

On that note, do you think that a stock 96 diesel will do well than a 2c? Or does the stock fx uses a 2c? TIA!

Sir King,

A stock diesel FX already uses a 2C engine. Others upgrade it with a 2C-T, 2L or even a 3C in their upgrades. So may choices, for more power. So far, the stock FX diesel performs well. Had one before but in Deluxe version only. Accelerates good with reasonable torque during climbing (though of course you need to be patient during climbs as old diesels are not that fast, but it gets the job done). Conversion is easily doable this days, but you should also consider the right transmission and differential combo to attain the best performance. Good luck!

Copy! Thank you sir! Learning a lot here.

...share lang po...

[Yronmae]

Mga master ano pong pinagkaiba ng 2c na may vacuum sa taas at ung 2c na walang vacuum... Parehas lng ba displacement??? Salamat mga master...

[Yronmae]

At disposable po ba itong may vacuum sa taas compared sa alang vacuum?? Salamat po sa sasagot

[Yronmae]

Balak ko po kasi bumili 2c diesel fx salamat po

[bush]

Malayong mas maganda po performance ng fx diesel engines...Baguio base po ako owner ng 96' GL 2C

[bush]

Gandang umaga po...problema ko po black smoke ng fx ko bagsak sa smoke belching ano po kaya magandang gawin para mawala o makapasa sa smoke belching emission standards.

[bush]

Ganda po ng lowered na fx...

[rey752]

Oil change sir,and have your exhaust pipe wash ung pinapasukan ng tubig.some people put a hole malapit sa manifold.

[bush]

Yup sir rey meron din ung sa unit ko..nilagyan ko ng joy tas tubig babad for 15 min tas banlaw...pina adjust ko din ung sa injection pump para macontrol din air pero mejo mausok pa din....

[EssB]

Gandang umaga po...problema ko po black smoke ng fx ko bagsak sa smoke belching ano po kaya magandang gawin para mawala o makapasa sa smoke belching emission standards.

Ipa-compression test mo paps... Then ipa-calibrate rin ang injection pump (malamang kailangan na rin palitan nozzles).

good day mga sir FX expert tanong ko lang po mga sir kung saan ko po makikita ang temp sensor ng Toyota 2c diesel kasi kabibili ko po "owner type jeep" pero walang temp gauge saan ko po pwede ilagay ang temp sender if wala po balk ko po sana lagyan TIA po mga sir

[EssB]

*joebryz trace mo yung upper radiator hose... Nandun engine water outlet banda yung water temp sensor for gauge.

Hi mga sir's,

Tanong lang po. bakit po kaya tumataas ang temp sa temp guage ng FX ko pag nag aaircon ako.. pag walang aircon nasa lagpas 1/4 ang guage tas apg nag aircon unti unti tumataas hanggang 1/2 pinapatay ko nalang kasi nakakatako baka tumuloy tuloy.

any advise po... TIA

Diesel po ba o gasoline yung FX nyo? Normally, yung temp gauge is talagang halos nasa gitna or gitna lang talaga. Yung thermostat kasi ang dapat nagreregulate ng temp ng makina, regardless of engine load, naka AC man o hindi. Pag abnormal na yung taas, let say 3/4 na, hindi na ganun ka efficient yung cooling system mo. Either barado na yung radiator, nagloloko na yung thermostat, loose na yung clutch fan o defective na yung gauge mo. Anyway, yung design talaga ng AC evaporator at condensing system ng FX e hindi ganun ka efficient o kaganda. Yung evaporator sa likod e maliit at mali pa ang location. Pag mainit na ang panahon, bago pa man makarating sa itaas, nabawasan na ang lamig dahil sa heat losses, dahil sa haba and kung saan saan dumaan ang ducting. Yung sa harap na evaporator naman, napaka baba ng center vent kaya medyo mabagal yung pag taas ng malamig na hangin. Yung condenser naman, medyo maliit para sa load (evaporators). Kaya all in all, medyo inefficient talaga design lalo na pag tag-init, hirap talaga yung system.

Sorry for the long illustration as ive encountered these concerns before. Anyway, payo ko lang is, try mo pa din yung AC, basta hanggang 1/2 yung sa guage ok lang yun, wag lang aabot sa 3/4. Lagyan mo din ng auxiliary fan yung condenser para ma ventilate sya ng maayos. Tsaka check mo yung clutch fan, dapat di sya loose o maluwag para maganda ang higop ng hangin.
