nice car...

Toyo Proxes S/T

255/60R18

guys,

for diesel engine, what brand r u all like to use....currently im using petronas diesel and im not happy with the milage......during my recent trip to johor Bharu, RM 80 just go about 538km....my speed around 120-140km/h....using hilux double cab......

btw em_eniey,

that is a nice looking hilux u got there......

just added a bullbar and some spotlights yesterday......however driving a Hilux with 90kmh maximum is the only key to get optimum FC....i've tried. Beyond 100kmh, it will be a fuel guzzler.

mine Rm100 of diesel from petrol give me around 100kmh
speed around 120kmh while rpm reading is 2.3K ++
running on 5 speed tiptronic

Running at highest gear at RPM 2k is the most optimum FC....

From full tank fuel till the fuel low indication light comes up, which is around 70 litres. i get an average of 650km. which is about RM119 for 70 litres.
i'm using 2009 hilux twin cab.

which is about 9.3km per litre of shell diesel fuel. which comes up to about 5.46 km for RM 1 fuel.

Mine's more or less the same as yours, using petronas dynamic diesel.

Hi,

I owne mitsubishi triton here

this is not mine but definitely a monster....

hye, nice to meet u all,
Isuzu Trooper 91 owner here, im new in 4x4 and hope this thread can help me in knowing more about 4x4.

nice! mod specification pls?

woot. navara. teh mutha trucker.

my hilux cant go over 120kmh. huhu. tested it with a friends ford splash. mine is the 2.8D hilux. my dad juz changed the tires to Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo Tires. nice on corners. 110kmh on tight corners and the car skid only a bit even after i pull stearing.

top speed for my hilux is 150km/h...the RPM will go to 3.5k-4k.....
need advice on buying a new tyre......actually how long will a truck or suv tyres last....?.......mine is from july 2006 ( when i bought the hilux ) which is the stock tyres till now........the tyres is starting to make sound during tight connering and i think this will be the time to change to new tyre.....

we share the same boat here, I heard the stock ECU controls the top speed not to reach an unsafe speed. to me, 150kmh for a stock hilux is considered already unsafe, not just hilux but other trucks too that shares the same height.

the stock BS Dueler HT is made in Thailand and the quality is not as the one from Japan BS although the model is still the same. I heard that that BS AT Special is better that the stock HT. however your driving behaviour plays an important role as well.

hey guys, does anybody here knows the price range of ford ranger turbocharger unit from chop shop nowdays?

Send your current turbo charger for repair. Most mechanic says they can repair turbo, but they send out to turbo specialist.
U can try Tong Turbo, send it yourself.

How can u tell whether a chop shop unit is in good condition? I don't really trust chop shop turbo. Hehe

hi there ahsam

whats the price to repair a turbocharger & where is tong turbo located?

im guessing my ranger turbo is broken as there is a whirring sound sometimes when i press the accel.

just wanna know the current price range before going to a mechanic as fren told me it cost RM1k to change ranger turbocharger (chop shop one) last 3 years ago.

regarding to know if the turbocharger unit is in good condition, im thinking of letting the mechanic to source for it as he will be responsible it is in working condition.

How u know your turbo is not functioning well? Leaking? A little leak is normal. Whirring sound is your turbo spinning. Should be normal unless u feel that your car is underpowered, and your turbine is shaky, scratching its housing.

Not sure bout chop shop price. my guess would be RM 600 ? got to survey around. (pls take note that this is a used unit with unknown history)

Sending it for a complete rebuild is another story. www.tongturbo.com
Rebuild cost around RM 1k. Call up tongturbo for quote.

how do we know turbo running well or not...
last saturday i drove up to genting...
but passed 80% and suddenly feel power loss and the car stop at the hill for 2 seconds before moving...
