Ahhh... Different player la that case..

some of my friend say there will be some turbo lag if the tubing too long, although there are more cooling compare with top mount. maybe if got found a VNT garrett turbo then i will do front mount with Bov . But for now my solution is to add fan below the intercooler. All that have to wait my car arrive next year lah...aduh..

For the 2.5, after u installed the Intercooler, you will notice turbo lag instantly. Had a few member doing that, but then they're ok with that with the help of tuning chip which gives responsive throttle and power, not to mention turbo kicks in smoother and faster too.

Piping wise, too big is not good, too small is real bad.

Fan below the intercooler is not necessary i guess? Most of the people fit their BOV right before the throttle body, so far only HKS SSQV3D/SSQV4D performs the best. Better get a genuine ones

(Which require to tap wires from the solenoid to the TPS sensor, this type of BOV is activated through TPS)

Besides, there are some fake HKS SSQV3D/4D around which are using fake HKS bov and some china/taiwan made solenoid valve.

VNT to fit on the 2.5? Good luck.

Thais 2kdftv is fitted with vnt producing 142hp so it is doable. Any suggestion on where to get vnt turbo or which company made it?

I am not saying it's impossible. Why VNT when you can better turbo option? What you need is not a turbo only. Cant think of any, try sourcing them in Thai?

How about Garrett GT25R? can boost lot compare with VNT right.?

Btw( out of topic ) i read somewhere that vector have a module for Electronic controled diesel (ecd) right? just asking in behalf of my dad lorry. (hino) i think the module is VP44.

Yup, they do have for the VP44. but not plug and play and require some wires cutting & tapping.
Can boost higher fot sure, but the question is, can your engine make it out?

Anyone facing any delayed on the Hilux 3.0 facelift shipment?

I suppose there are some stocks shortage from Thai.

Hi guys. Just wanted to ask about this chip tuning. What is it actually? Won't void the Toyota warranty even if the car is newly bought? What are the gains (e.g. HP, torque, fuel consumption).

Another thing, if I plan to get the new 3.0 Hilux would tuning the chip add any improvements to the car seeing as it already has an intercooler built in?

Thanks.

Bro, thailand no shipment at all.. Hilux now 4 months ++

Do you mean if book now need to wait 4 months ++?

Just now msg the salesperson and was told that my lux maybe delay to next May...now got dilemma if the car got - flood effect- or not.

next may?...hoho...thats a very long time

When is your original delivery date?

These chip increase more torque than hp. you will be expecting close to 40NM, 15~20hp of torque/hp increase.
Any chip will void the warranty unless you remove them before sending back to service centre. Plenty of my customer practicing this method to maintain their warranty. Tuning chip doesn't leave trace on your ECU, so they can't really find anything to void your warranty.

Sold so many units, non of them telling me it doesn't work !! Only complain i got is, how to get more power after chipped.

Yep exactly

First they say at march due to flood then april now may lo...
