Hi all, my hilux 2.5 non VNT gonna be 2 years old after this month. I got some sudden passion of doing little mod on my hilux, like adding chip, install intercooler, change exhaust system etc. Just want to know, will these void my manufacturer warranty after doing it ? Thanks all.
*
Dont forget to use dmax turbo. Yes it will void unless you remove all mod before sending it to SC.

1 more year warranty. I think you shouldn't worry about it. How many milage has your hilux done?

I'm also thinking of upgrading my lux. needs more power.
d-max is a vgt turbo rite? how do you do it? need to add intercooler and chip?
*
no. it is the older version 3.0iteq turbo newer version is 2.5vgs.

that turbo can withstand up to 40psi.

yes you need to add intercooler.

add chip if its feels heavier.

does this thread have members who drove the 2003 hilux? i need to ask some question. as im looking for a sub 30k used reliable hilux. hope someone here can advice  laugh.gif

edited: added question and some basic situational info 11:16AM 23/11/14

Hi, any hilux n60 owner here? im looking for a sub RM30k 03-04 Hilux 2.5 D4D SR TURBO (AT), would like to ask about the:

-vehicle reliability
-vehicle drivability around town and busy place like damansara uptown/kajang town, drivability for long journey, like getting from one state to another.
-spare parts availability
-maintenance of the vehicle
-commonly known problem or commonly fault issue
-modifications, steel bumper, rock slider, snorkel.
-does it use the 2KD-FTV (without intercooler, 101hp version)
-i saw 2 models avail. are there 2 version? from what i've seen the hi-lo gear lever are absent in some automatics 2.5 SRs. It have the smaller gear lever for manual gearbox and some automatics (which place next to the AT gear selector), but some automatics don't have the smaller gear lever.

comment and advice will be much appreciated.
*
All i know is automatic has no 4x4,if you want 4x4 you have to get manual or one that is already modified with 4wd. Power is upgradeable via piggyback ecu. Modification & part is plenty. Reliability is good as long as you service it on time.

Guys,
I'm driving TRD 2.5G Hilux bought newly just a month back but I wanted to changer a wider tyre using the original TRD black rims.

What is the widest I can use and tyre recommendation for Hilux. I felt the current tyre traction is not that good.
*
Your tyre size is 255*65*17. 275*65*17 is good enough.

What is your rim size exactly?

Hello, I'm wondering if anybody have experience in this setup?

Car hilux 3.0VNT year 2014 comes with 17" rims (original toyota). Current state no modification at all, no lift up, etc

Want to change to 16" rims instead and fit them with AT tyres of 265/70/16. Probably a 8jj rims.

Would the front rub the bumper?mudguard?fender?
If no, what maximum offset would be recommended?

Some say need to lift up. But I would prefer not to if possible.

TQ first for reading.
*
original is 265/65/ 17x7 30 offset

if you are using 16x7 30 offset then it fit perfectly

if you are using other offset and width like 8 inch you need to

1. adjust the alignment not to hit front bumper and body

2. if it still hit you probably need to cut it a little (front bumper)

3. if it still hit then you need to lift it(change to higher absorber and spring)

4. if it still hit do a bodylift (1-2")

i have done a 1.5" body lift,2" suspension lift,remove the mudguard,cut front fender and alignment forward max to the front bumper just to fit a 285/75 16"x8 0 offset.

in your case you probably need to do just 1 and 2.

Oooo...what mode did you do? got any effect on the engine? as in wear and teat faster.
*
stock Vigo 2.5 Non VNT
aftermarket ecu Alphatech GT Toyota + RPM plus
stock turbo + custom intercooler
19psi boost,dont overboost unless change turbo,DMAX turbo can boost to 30psi or more.
estimate hp 150whp from 109hp

effect on engine :

fuel filter get dirty very quick,causing engine to receive error code and loses power

solution :

park,turn off engine for a minute or 2 then restart,go workshop and replace fuel filter.

Hello guys,

is there anyone in the forum who had installed intercooler set with stock Turbocharger on Hilux Vigo Commonrail (Non VNT)? Just wondering if there is any drop in car response or boost as the stock turbo is meant for flow without intercooler..

I'm thinking of installing one but not sure if the stock turbocharger needs to be upgraded as well sad.gif Perhaps sifu-sifu can share experience and knowledge
*
i have, no problem with the turbo.

thanks boss. How about remap? Is it necessary for installing intercooler? And got noticable difference in performance after installing?
*
not necessary but remap probably it will give you 2.5vnt performance(150hp or more).

Bro which workshop you go to?

just search for any refutable diesel tuner in your area, for cheaper option use ecu remap, for expensive one get a piggyback ecu or complete standalone ecu. since yours are vnt you just need ecu remap, you dont need intercooler.
