Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [ARCHIVED]

So when overtaking, mabilis naman rin arangkada ng D4D as compared sa gaso? Thanks.

yup d4d has a higher torque, but follow the safe and correct practice when overtaking.

E10 here in Cebu is new. in fact only one caltex station that offers it here. and I tried it with my innova and i kinda like it since immediate ang response ng gas pedal. however, only one peso ang difference nya sa unleaded. how about in metro manila ano ba ang price difference between the e10 and the unleaded gasoline? just curious, lang...

are there several innova vvti owners here na e10 ang ginamit? what's your experience? ....

30 - 75 cents na lang ang difference ng E10 to regular unleaded in Metro Manila.

I'm using E10 for more than 2 years na so far okay naman....I also use LPG and so far it is running like gasoline. Both E10 and LPG, torque and acceleration even with 8 adults on board is okay.

1. San maganda pa convert ng LPG?
2. How much?
3. Malaki po ba yung natipid nyo?
4. Pano po maintenance pag nag pa lpg?

Thanks po. Yung vvti ko 8k/liter lang talaga umaabot. Matipid naman ako magdrive, dinga ako umaabot halos ng 2k rpm pag nagshift ako ng gear pero ganun pa din.

Yung pambili ng accessories pang convert ko nalang ng lpg.

Thanks po and God Bless!

1. San maganda pa convert ng LPG? GreenFuel
2. How much? P40K for SGI system last year
3. Malaki po ba yung natipid nyo? Today's price difference of LPG versus unleaded is about P10, medyo matagal bago mo mabawi ang coversion cost. I did mine last year when Unleaded was more than P60++ and LPG was P30++
4. Pano po maintenance pag nag pa lpg? LPG fuel filter every 40Kms on top of regular PMS.

BTW, have you guys seen the new fleet of PLDT 2009 Innova's, they are LPG equipped.

Sir, Magshare lang. Although my innova has a diesel engine, I have a vios for a service vehicle. I've been using Petron's E10 on it for quite awhile now. On my last fuel up, I tried Shell's E10 and I noticed that it's not as good as Petron's. Nakaramdam ako ng konting loss of power plus knocking on the engine (pinging sound). I guess sa driving style din ito nakukuha pero very seldom ito pag naka Petron ako. I attribute this to Petron's higher Octane rating (95) compared to Shell's 93. Previously, I'm using Shell V-Power or Petron XCS both of which has 95 octane. Yung caltex e10 ba ano ang octane rating?

Bratski, time to take the family to Subic or Baguio (via SCTEX) ;) There's also a de-carbonizing process offered before by some of the shops, try to search on the old tsikot threads.

MGuy with the m/t D4D, 3rd gear and 4th gear are your best friends on the two lane blacktop highways. ;) Understeer is evident on the twisties but upping the tire pressure if your load is heavy can help a little.

Vinj,

Thanks for this. The reason i'm asking is that i'll be travelling to Pagudpud next week using a Innova D4D as a loaner. Not really sure how it would perform with a heavy footed driver like me. Surely i'll be careful on the road but when there would be times that I need to overtake, would want the car to accelerate nicely.

OT: Kumusta na Nissanbayan? Been a long time na rin since I last saw you in one of those EBs. Sold na my Nissan eh.

Montcp,

Lupit rin ng vid. Problem is, naka turbo yun. Only in my dreams I would get to drive one like that. Thanks.

[US_Base]

maybe cos di pa na break-in?

BlueBimmer, cute ng pic mo, a! Sis mo?

Also when i have it full tank at petron Macapagal station, sabi ng attendant if i would like to add additives to my diesel fuel, they call it "Petron Diesel POWER BOOSTER" mga around 50 ml siya halo daw sa full tank na diesel. this additive is worth P60 daw,,

what can you say about this?? or for those who had used this Power Booster, Any comments?? TIA.

WBR, ;)

Bro,
Madami pa din palang ahas-ahas (sort of..) diyan sa atin. The only additive I could advise is Z-Max, because it penetrates to the crevices of the metal. Actually, it is not an additive. Additive is an oil treatment only. Where to find and buy this? A BIG ? mark.. If you can't find one there, then, ask your balikbayan relatives to bring you a box of it. hek-hek-hek...

Don't worry sir, naka Turbo talaga ang D4D. I even tried reaching up to 160kph, sarap! parang car lang.. d ka mapapahiya sa pagovertake..

Oo nga no! Just found it out sa Toyota website. Hehehe. Looking forward tuloy ako sa vacation namin. Thanks.

[xmasps3]

ask ko lng pwede ba ipa-palitan yun wood panel sa ac tsaka yun sa gilid sa toyota innova g sa casa? (sa casa lng ah d sa mga labas labas na gawaan) if pwede ano yun mapapalit nila? meron ba sila ibang klase pa non or yun nasa J/E lng yun pwede nila ipalit? di ko kc trip wood na tapos beige pa.. parang kala mo nasa india ka e kakasuka itsura sa totoo lng *_*

Friendly reminder: Keep your tank loaded if you possibly can. Ilocos Sur on the way to Pagudpud is a long stretch. Gas stations will be scarce to your destination. You may not find one when you needed them. So gas up when there is one. Have a safe trip.

Di ka naman buntis??? hehehe

Pabalutan mo na lang leatherette with the color and texture of your choice sa mga gumagawa ng seat covers para di ka masuka.

Mguy,
mas malakas talaga hatak ng d4d compared sa vvti, bitin ako sa hatak ng vvti a/t ko. i would've purchased a d4d unit if not for the dreaded d4d woes mentioned here in this forum. even though only a handful experienced this problem, ayoko naman ako maka tsamba ng sakit ng ulo especially in remote areas wherein ititirik ka hehehe. Ive had a friend na may d4d innova na tumirik (fuel pump problem)sa kennon road (at night pa yun).

Ouch, you're scaring me. Medyo bagu-bago naman itong Innova, late last year, sabay ka-se-service lang. Any thing I should know about these D4D woes? What to do para iwasan?

I wouldn't say that, 3.0 Fort couldn't keep up with the VVT-i. But from standstill, D4D pulls harder.
