hello
i am a liteace owner din binili ko last april 2009 lng, i dnt know exactly the model/year basta im sure it's GXL. now i have the some problems noticed in my one month driving, first nangangamoy ng gas sa loob especially if open ang window, then maximum speed of only 80km/h and lastly lack of power. even after i change oil and oil filter, fuel filter, air cleaner etc ganun pa rin. then a local mechanic checked the carburetor and found out the secondary (i dont know what was it about) stock up daw. pero kahit after noon the same pa rin ang observation ko or kung meron man kunting pagbabago lng. not after mapansin nya na ang something like "advancer" daw na hose hindi nakakabit sa tamang lalagyan. kaya after noong macorrect na, changes were; 1. nawala ang pangangamoy ng gas sa loob. 2. maximum speed now is umaabot na ng 125km/h. aside from this two problems that are solved already, wala na akong reklamo sa liteace ko. aircon still excellent and fuel consumption estimate ko is 11-13km per li varying without and with aircon.

i hope you can suggest your mechanic also to check yong "advancer" i really dont know what is it basta nawala ang problema ko the same as yours eh..

If you wan't to swap a new engine like what I did try to source out an engine that its your need and your budget, because as of now the 3c-turbo diesel is kind of rare or if you could find one it might cost you a leg and a foot maybe 50k for the engine alone as of the price right now before it was 38K. And for the wheel and tire combo I traded in my old tire plus 20k the total money that I've spent for this project is approx. 200k all in all.

But if you are going to do this for economy might as well maintain your engine with a good oil and maybe you would want to convert to auto lpg it's much cheaper around 20k-28k depends on who's doing the job.

Now if you want to gain economy and a little bit more power from your engine the 5k you could use a bosch ignition coil + bosch super 4 spark plug , and use castrol magnatec 10w-40 semi-synthetic oil (1gallon use only 3.8L) change oil every 1ones year or 10K km,Bosch oil filter(part# 359) change your clutch assembly to exedy unity clutch assembly, and use castrol maual transmission oil API-GL4(2Liters) oil w/ pertua additive(1can approx. 400ml) for your transmission, and castrol gear oil API-GL5(1Liter) w/ pertua additive(1can approx. 400ml) for your diffs. and for your tires use 205/60R13 for your rear and inflate to 45psi and 185/70R13 for your front and inflate to 40psi. Use nankang Tire (nankang rx-615) at least this wont cost you more than 15K all in all. and use caltex techron silver as you fuel. And if you know of a good muffler shop there in your place you could opt to install a 4-2-1 header and a free flowing muffler. and lastly so that you won't encounter what other tsikoteers here have encounter with their unit as in overheating do not as DO NOT ever forget to add coolant to your water as in 50:50 mix I recomend petron coolant if available.

Good luck bro.

Mga sir,

Good day po, tanong ko lang kung anong magandang replacement na bulbs sa headlights ng Lite Ace namin, 95.? Medyo may kalabuan na kasi yung orig na yellow halogen bulbs namin, mahirap bumiyahe sa gabi pag mahina ang headlights, ano po ba ang maisa-suggest ninyo na brand, model, wattage, etc. para sa tsikot ko. Thanks. Mine is a 1995 Toyota Lite Ace GXL, 5k...

**zed2d** · July 23rd, 2009 03:23 PM

Bro jbiazon use wurth plasma white 100/90 400pesos each much brighter than the standard bulbs thats what I used before I change to Lihtninglabs HID 6000k worth 6k rin just so you'll know.

Philips X-tremePower H4 60/55W.

Kung higher wattage ang bumbilyang gagamitin mo, kailangan mo rin palitan ang sockets at saka wiring para hindi matunaw.
