no intercooler for the 4x2 turbo variant...wouldn't that pose a problem with the cooling down of the turbo?

i mean, in earlier turbo engines without intercoolers, the driver had to let the engine idle a few minutes before turning it off to allow the turbo to cool. would it be the same with the new hilux 4x2 2.5l turbo engine?

and since the 4x2 has no intercooler, would it also have no built-in hood scoop? that would add another difference between the 4x2 and 4x4 aside from the following: smaller wheel and tires, no fender flares, no step board, color-keyed grille (4x2) vs. chrome grille (4x4).

[OTEP]

Even with an intercooler, you would still need to 'cool down' the engine before shutting off. The intercooler does not cool the turbo, it merely cools the air being forced by the turbo into the engine.

The turbo is still working as hard and getting as hot.

is it true that even the 3.0 G model doesn't have ABS?

[revoGSX]

yup.. all new hilux models doesn't have ABS and EBD..

test drove the new hilux this afternoon. 3.0 TDIC 4x4 A/T yung na-test ko. ang lakas ng engine! walang sinabi yung patrol, lalo na siguro yung prado. dapat itong engine ng hilux ang isalpak sa prado!

matagtag din ang ride. also, sobrang tahimik ng engine. may free toyota hilux cap pa after the test drive ;)

san ba makakita ng pics ng hilux? la ako makita sa internet e. mas maganda pa rin ang itsura ng ford sport trac kaso nga lang malakas sa gas sayang.

[gArY]

nakikita ko lang problem....
sa quality ng diesel fuel dito sa atin...baka di magtagal at masira ang "malupit" na engine ng hilux...
magkano kaya ang commonrail system/injectors???
kasi yung sa trooper nung family friend namin...nasira ang commonrail... 80 thousand pesos... 3-4 years pa lang yun sa kanya...tanda ko yung sabi ni Doc Diesel nun...disposable ang fuel injection system ng trooper...yung common rail nga na tinatawag...compared to direct injection...nacacalibrate pa rin...
advantage lang ay mas matipid sa diesel, mas environment- friendly at yung "car-like engine response"....

[kiper]

gArY,

ganun ba talaga kapangit ang compatability ng common rail satin?

nakakatakot naman un.

sayang ang powerful engine..ganda pa naman ng hi-lux and d-max.

[RedHorse]

yong dmax, hindi pa sya common-rail engine

[kiper]

ah hinde ba CRDi ang d-max?

eh di ayos pala..

my vote still goes with the d-max..hehe

[RedHorse]

pero merong variant na common-rail, at labas na ito sa thailand last quarter last year... he he he

kiper,

ang ayaw ko dati sa dmax eh yong grayish interior, parang taxi, pero nang mapanood ko yong "ocean twelve" at makita na grayish interior din ang range rover, ok na din seguro dmax, basta black, and black din ang leather.

[cardo]

kita ko yun hilux yesterday sa Toyota Alabang when I had my car for PMS..

Nice front face! Crispy-lucious engine! but its abit bulbous... like it needs to go to the gym hehehe its like the d-max is more fit and the hilux is the chubby :D rear window is tiny at dumihin yun beige interior which is weird since its a pickup. Its nice sitting inside! great dash!

[revoGSX]

yung M/T ng hilux eh long-throw type ang shifter.. parang sa revo.. long-throw din.. parehas maganit..
pati yata mga corolla Altis M/T eh long-throw type ang shifter... halos lahat yata ng M/T ng toyota eh ganon hehe...

saw this on the net. its a 2.5D4d turbo intercooler. 130BHP. totoo ba ito? diba walang intercooler ang 2.5 variant nito?

I have a Hilux 4x4 3.0 D4D.

1.5 yrs old. 10,000kms, Petron fuel, Fortuner rims. OME rear shocks. 10.6 kms/li . So far, so good.

Sucks to park, though.
