I am thinking buying a single cabin hilux 2.5 for my plantation site job , but the engine power is low compare with other brand. . so my question is, can i put an intercooler to boost up the cooling and power. Or any other option i can take to pull more hp and tq from this hilux.

Tuning chip is your solution if u want to maintain factory warranty and also increase 10~20% power.If you're going hardcore power then only consider upgrading hardware. |

with intercooler and unichip it can probably get to 140-160hp and large amount of torque increase.

But for now my solution is to add fan below the intercooler. All that have to wait my car arrive next year lah...aduh..Easier and less mess, not to mention more air flow. |

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. This post has been edited by victor87: Oct 22 2011, 07:54 PM |

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?

What are the gains (e.g. HP, torque, fuel consumption).

Thanks. 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.  |

Hi all..
I'm deeply into Hilux 2.5 manual and currently still thinking should I buy a used one, because I loved the 2006-2010 edition of this amazing vehicle.. I would like to ask you guys about Hilux's 2.5's Malaysian roadtax and insurance costs per year, and, which year's edition is the best one, excluding the new one since I don't fond on that new facelift look.. I hope someone would reply me since I really2 wanted to buy one in this near future.. Thank you.. |

Less: No Claim Bonus (NCB) Discount if you have. For more info, ask ur agent. Just bear in mind that you can go for any insurance company so not necessary the one that your salesman recommend. Some insurance companies give FREE AAM auto assist if you sign with them. Only drawback for Hilux is that many insurance companies don't accept due to high theft rate coupled with the fact that they cannot, by law, simply impose Loading. Happy hunting. |

Great car to have. alot of options, to go rugged or VIP style. easy to get solid replacement parts. best thing is the resale value. most probably wont sell mine.

i just overhauled my 2005 vigo,,it cost me rm15000...been using this car for 7 years now,..only had a problem once,clutch slip..one thing i don't like about this car is the spiral cable,change it three times already in 7 years..recently just installed intercooler,I.H.I turbo (aftermarket isuzu dmax turbo)n alpha tech chip all in for rm8500,,great pick up,i can even do a burnout now but haven't tested how fast can it go now,hope it can speed up to 170km/h like it used to when it was still stock new,,quiet stabil when speeding on cornering roads..,,i'm not sure bout u guys but i can travel 700km with full tank but that was before the modification,now full tank can only get me less than 600 km.but overall,i love my hilux..its a great ride..

QUOTE(flex3x @ Dec 5 2012, 09:34 AM) Pedal lock is not enough for ur car security ? You can look into:A. Theft Prevention 1. Pedal Lock 2. Steering Lock 3. Gear Shift Lock 4. Additional Immobilizer B. Vehicle Recovery 1. Cobra (TTDI) or Captor (Batu Caves) where they install a GPS tracker into your vehicle, and track for you when you report lost. You pay 'one-time' GPS system + installation cost, thereafter an annual service fee for the life of the vehicle. 2. After market GPS Tracker, where you pay 'one-time' GPS system + installation, but provide installer a SIM card. Your monthly cost will be the cost of SIM Card telco plan only, but you track your vehicle yourself via your cell phone. If its stolen, you have to call the cops and track the vehicle yourself. Many brands available in Automotive Garage section. C. Carjacking 1. Go jogging every day so that if this should happen, you can run away from your assailants as far and fast as possible, with your mobile so you can track. If you are taken along with your vehicle, agree to surrender your car and your phone, pray hard, shut up and hope for the best. Happy hunting, good luck, drive safe, stay safe. ----- For the paranoid, some additional things to consider: 1. Park in well lit and open areas, not some dark corner of the world. 2. Add Anti-smash tint on the windows. 3. Be observant when filling up at gas stations. Don't leave keys in ignition. 4. When taking passengers (wife, parents, kids), be aware that they may be the ones who may be taken, so keep doors locked whenever possible. 5. Don't disclose your security features to the world. Keep this to yourself. 6. If you are knocked by third party, observe first who knocked into your vehicle. If you don't feel comfortable, stay a distance when negotiating, or just take a photo of the third party's vehicle and leave the scene asap. You can google more safety tips from various sites for more of info. While you want to prevent your vehicle from being taken, bear in mind that if shit hits the fan, the priority is your personal safety, as well as the safety of those who ride with you.

So far i drive full tank 7-8 days then refuel again. I got my vigo 3.0 end of march 2012, now mileage already 25K.. LOL.. Even do carrying heavy load like 300kg d vigo still can climb up 120kmh quite easy. I know 1 good tips people said, if u wanna hv good fc using vigo 3.0, jz maintain rpm2000 or below during top gear, which mean average speed 90-100kmh. Rpm2000=100kmh top gear. Wow, that is not too bad for a 3.0 vigo. I also usually drive 80km/h at RPM 1.5k QUOTE(Sh@rty 5 @ Dec 5 2012, 12:17 AM) thxs bosssee you soon for next mod? er what's your next mod other than tint most probably hood lock. or gear lock, depending which come first QUOTE(DapRocket @ Dec 5 2012, 08:10 AM) i just install the pedal lock after i got my car yesterday. recommended from my sales girl to her friend and cost me Rm530. its a 2 way pedal lock. now i am researching for other security option. 2 way lock? means got 2 lock / double lock? what brand? |

Hi, My Hilux has suddenly developed problems after running smoothly for 6 years. It appears to be the fuel pump. The vehicle loses power and sometimes it appears to almost die and them move again. This morning, it became worse. The engine become so weak that I stalled on a slope. Simply not enough power to climb the ramp. I finally reversed down the ramp. The engine then died completely. A while later it started again. But I suspect strongly that it is the fuel pump. My questions: Can the fuel pump be serviced? Where is the best place to do that? ANy recommendations and advice? Thank you so much for your help, everyone.

Hi. I just got my new hilux and noticed that there is a little click sound from in the dash when the aircon is on. It sounds like a relay and is the same click sound you hear when the aircon is turned on. Happens every 10 or so seconds depending. Not loud just a little annoying. Just want to know if anyone experiencing the same thing or if it's a fault.

Got my hilux a month ago and immediately install lockteck under the steering. Since the lock have a wire connection, I thought may be because the improper wiring by the installer. Since your car also have clicking sound, I think it may be a common. |

I changed my rears to Rancho 9000XL (adjustable) and it rides well on minimum load, now thinking of Bilstein for front cos want to lift a bit.triton even better not so bumpy You see, every truck is 'purpose-built' and 'market-driven'. The Hilux was designed as a carrier with the ability to penetrate the world's toughest terrains. That's why they are high and firm. On the other hand, Tritons and Rangers are for ladies who ferry their grandma to Tesco every weekend. That's why they are lower and softer. |

I checked already, my sum insured is 96k. I dont even started paying my first installment. If Hilux stolen within 3 months can claim 100%. But between now until your insurance company compensate for the loss, you still have to pay for the installment. |

QUOTE(Icehart @ Apr 29 2013, 10:32 PM) Some say installing double shackle helps to reduce the bumpiness of your ride. I'm not sure but I plan to install soon. I heard from some 4x4 dealers not recommended to install double shackles. Also need to maintain the double shackle. Mayb u can opt for changing the suspension to Rancho 9000This post has been edited by dino89: Apr 29 2013, 11:56 PM |

Oh btw, I recently changed my Tires from H/T (Dueler Bridestone) to A/T tires (Yokohama Geolander). I went to the 4x4 shop and the guy gave me a good deal for 16 inch tires. So not only did i changed my tires from H/T to A/T, i also changed a different rim. But he told me that the spare tires dun need to change so i kept my spare tire without changing it.
Originally my tires were 255/70R15 but now it is 265/70R16 I want to ask, 1. What is the difference i will feel from this change? 2. Is it ok to not change the spare tires, or suggested to change the spare tire as well? 3. Do i need to take note of any changes from the new tires? Thx in advance This post has been edited by dino89: Apr 30 2013, 12:08 AM |

Thx in advance HT(highway terrain) softer ride AT(all terrain) a little bit harder MT(mud terrain) the hardest 2. spare tire is just used to get you to a tires shop no need to change it. 3. did you do any alignment after changing tires?some shop offer tire change and alignment for free. |

I can't remember the list of sites, but the conclusion I got from the forums is that it is NOT Safe. My 2 cents, ....Google it a bit before you go and install the double-shackle. |

Better to match your new set, just get some second hand ones will do. Your previous Overall Wheel Diameter is around 29 inches while your new ones are around 30.5inches. One thing for sure, speedometer will be 'off'. Check with a GPS on board and you should be able to gauge your actual speed against your speedo. 3. No need take note la, just drive. Minimal change in size so I don't think tyre will scrape mud guard (assuming your rim offset is not too drastic la). Happy driving |

Also had to do some rebalancing and add wheel ring as my steering wheel had some vibrations when car drive around 100km/h |

1. Cut Horn is to disable Horn from sounding, in case you have alarm attached to it.
2. Upper Left Side tyre (mudguard) is to pierce thru the cobra alarm box located just above it. If you open your bonnet, you will see a steel box there, that's where the alarm system resides. In older Altis, the box is located near the fuel tank cover, so to destroy the alarm, they just have to drill thru it. One small hole only, and the alarm is a goner. 3. Signal light is an old method. They pull it out because it's the easiest to pry, and then short circuit the electrical system thru the signal connection. Well, at least your truck not stolen. |

Is it possible to put angel eye led into the old model vigo headlights? Not switch whole headlights but just adding this thing.

To answer your question, you could start by reading the first 8 pages (only) of this thread and you will get a fair idea what we discuss here. Also, you can access the '4x4 Pickup Truck Club' thread, but that's 80+ pages and counting. When I first looked around, I couldn't find many mod options for the lux, compared to standard sedans because there are more generic sedan accessories. But, if you keep looking, your wallet will have a big hole before you know it, so be patient when shopping.... My personal advice, put in security measures first before anything else. As you can already see, this truck is a thief magnet. Other stuff, can slowly add... Happy hiluxing. |

Hi there everyone..!
I've order Hilux 2.5 VNT 4x4 Auto transmission yesterday.. And I'll be getting the car next week. im very excited on that. The promotion now is, RM1000 rebate and toyota giving genuine DVD ANV player + GPS + reverse camera which worth rm2990 if im not mistaken for free.. the best part is i asked around few toyota showrooms and they says it will take about 2weeks-4weeks time and at last found a friend of mine who is dealing with cars checked and says can settle for me by a week time. So, anyone here mind sharing some photos of their hilux..? And im here to ask, any suggestions for any mods on toyota maybe alarm system with gps tracking and auto lock or anti-theft or anything. Waiting for your reply.. Nice to meet you.. regards, -sK. |

Yes, brake lock alone does not guarantee security, not even Locktech.And don't worry about duration, 10 minutes also too long. But u probably won't peek at the truck every 10 minutes right? As for adding extra security, that depends if u more worried about ur warranty or risking ur truck being inadequately protected fr theft. Even if you put extra security, still not 100 percent guarantee. U can try Captor or Cobra GPS tracker though.... or paint it bright green. Be vigilant though, cos carjacking is also an option for thieves. |

Last, anyone here own Toyota Tundra, my brother just bought a V8 version cant wait to go back and try my hands on that one. Could not find that truck here though. |

Hi all, I own a 2011 Pre-facelift hilux 2.5G
Just to share my experience with you all my lux used to be kosong with only a bug shield and a canvas. However the canvas is damaging the paint (friction between the rubber seal and the body - the gap between the cabin and the bed) until all the protection layer (coating) disappear and the metal is expose, can see some rust when the canvas is taken away. does anyone have this problem too?Anyway, as to pamper back the truck, below are the recent upgrade made for him: 1) bedliner cover 2) piggyback ECU + throttle controller 3) 17" rim + rubber 4) absorber and spring 5) brake upgrade Just wonder what mod have you peeps done to your hilux. Cheers |

Dear all Hilux Owner,
I just go my Hilux 2.5 VNT AT and with ODO on 5200km andI just done my 2nd service. My problem is the steering wheel shaking/vibrate in between 100kmh-120kmh. I told the SC about this, they done the balancing but still the problem exists. SC told me they need to rectify the problem as the steering should not shake after wheel balancing. They suspect: Tyre problem or suspension system and need me to put my car overnight. So, have any of you encounter such problem and how you guys solve it? Thank you |

Current temperature is very hot..cannot tahan... Since you gonna tint your ride, here's my take:1. Use the most heat resistant (and expensive) type on the front screen. It's the hottest area. 2. Use smash resistant tint on sides. 3. Use anything at the back. RM2k should be sufficient, but more if you are loaded. Just bear in mind warranty against peeling and bubbling, and JPJ saman. I personally prefer to tint my ride at a shop which specialises in tinting and has an enclosed area for tinting to avoid dust. I tinted few of my rides at Ecotint using Raybarrier tint and so far no issues. But if you big on V-Kool, go for it bro. |

Do i need to change the absorbers as well ? e.g. titan, armada or rancho adjustable will adding space arm helps? Also by the way, is there any hilux club around klang valley? Most trucks - 'bumpy' by design (no rear load). I don't carry much so I didn't need the stiffness = cut little bit of the leaf spring. Front/Rear absorbers = Bilstein/Rancho XL9000 respectively. Space Arm added, but more for stability than comfort. Tyres 31x10.5 R15 (-ve 27mm) so added King Springs (FR) and extended ball joints; raised back with longer shackles (not double shackles). Drives like a car now, and a lot less bumpy on my offroad trips as well. |

Just an update, I just change my Hilux3.0 rim to original Fortuner 17" rim with Michelin rubber. Overall its a better ride after the upgrade. |

You can never fixed bouncy bcause that's the trait of leaf spring..the best u can do is to reduce it..try google for the method of it..most famous,remove 1 piece of your leaf spring, or change it..both will reduce your payload

My one and halfyear Hilux. Last two days fuel indicator lightup at panel eventhough fuel more than half tank.. I thought it just an error and need to reset. Send to Toyota and was informed that it was cause by diesel filter clogged or it mixed up with water and need to change. Poor Malaysia Diesel. Damage RM118.00. He said if it happen again within 2 month it need to bring down the tank for cleanning.

What happens the tanks at the petrol station. some old ones leak water in. sometimes when the tanks also very dirty hence dirt is also mixed with the diesel. it could also be contaminated diesel tankers.I try never to pump at those ulu-ulu/run down stations. So far my lux still okay after 200,000 km |

I just added the double shacker brand JS, i will say it improved alot by at least 50% ?
Now Im hunting for tyre Apparently my standard tyre 255 70 15 looks really small compare to others. I'm thinking to change the rims as well to 16 inch. If I inch up the rims and change to highway terrain tyre, will the car feel bouncy? |

I'm not big fan of double shackles, and I doubt it'll improve anything (you can Google 'double shackles' to find more info, there's a lot on the subject). If you think the Hilux rear is too 'hard', cut the leaf spring a bit. Any experienced 4wd mechanic should know this. In my own experience of modifying my Hilux suspension up and down more than 6 times over 3 years, I will attest that that is the most effective way to soften the ride at rear, albeit at the expense of load-sag.Now Im hunting for tyre Apparently my standard tyre 255 70 15 looks really small compare to others. I'm thinking to change the rims as well to 16 inch. If I inch up the rims and change to highway terrain tyre, will the car feel bouncy? 2. My answer to your question is: No, it will not be more 'bouncy' if your tyres are 265/75R16 or 275/70R16 on HT, or at least, nothing that you will immediately be able to point out unless your butt is really sensitive. Again, this is based on my two cents and personal experience. I've changed rims 3 times so far, from 15 to 16, then back to 15, then another 15. I've used tyres from 255 to 275 to 31/10.5 to 32/11.5 then back to 31/10.5 which i'm currently happy with. Hope this helps. |

Hi Bosses,
I'm considering to get a 2.5G soon. But so far I'm really afraid that I'll regret it. My concerns are: 1. I'm going to use it for city driving. I love tough cars and the commanding view. How feasible is this? Is parking really going to be an issue? How about refueling (diesel)? Are the pumps clean? Read somewhere that someone got issue because old fuelstation has water seep into the tank.. 2. Was reading a lot of theft on hilux. Is this a real bummer? What advise would you share for me eg. what kind of security systems, etc etc3. I am currently driving a vios. Low maintenance, not so much issue. Cheap service too. Does switching to Hilux potentially give me a shock? How frequent is the tyre change recommendation? Service center charges? motor oil cost? Thank you in advance for your advice. With you all well. |

Buy a GPS tracker, add a 3rd party immobilizer..buy insurance.. 3. Vios will definitely be lower maintenance. Each hilux service is about 400 for basic (5k) and 1+k for major (every 40k). Tyres are about 400 each. Change about 40000-80000km depends on the tyre type. |

I went to Toyota services center to services my company hilux, the services price is exact RM271.00 (oil, oil filter etc). Ask them NOT to include the car washing, also NO diesel addictive etc those extra stuff. Oh ya, never had any problem with water in tank, just services accordingly.
PS: I am sure is RM271 for normal 5k services because my colleague also bringing another hilux for maintenance, exact same price We usually services every 10k km though... One of the old hilux has clocked 150k km mileage, going off road everyday, in good condition. Oh ya, You have to give up side parking, the length is impossible to fit in a parking block unless your front and end is viva's size car and leave space for you. I trained up my reverse parking skill with hilux though. This post has been edited by buffa: Nov 19 2014, 10:19 AM |

Power is upgradeable via piggyback ecu. Modification & part is plenty.

QUOTE(ebbydot @ Aug 12 2015, 11:12 AM) honestly I'm not good or fimiliar wt modification. HT is for 100% road use. These are not good for mud. AT (All-terrain) is for 70% road, 30% off-road, means, you can use it off-road, but not super if the trail is wet/muddy. MT (Mud-terrain) is for 30% road use, 70% off-road. These are the best general off-road use tyres and can handle muddy trails pretty well. Of course, it also means they are not that good for on-road as the tyre threads won't hold that well compared to HT which are designed for tar road.but from what i read, if you need better traction/grip, you should change to All Terrain (AT) or at least Mix Terrain (MT) tyres for that purpose. Current Tyre fitted is a Highway Terrain (HT), to reduce noise & vibration into cabin. Wider tyres will of course would appeals that macho looks. So when you mentioned about 'better traction/grip', that would really depend on whether you are referring to on-road or off-road. Other factors that will influence tyre grip or traction include the type of compound (softer is usually more grippy but wears off faster), thread design (to minimise aqua-planning), and of course, the physical width and profile of the tyre against the rim. Wider tyres may grip better in the dry, but when it's wet, they may slip. Low profile tyres corner better, but are stiffer therefore less comfortable. In the end, it all depends on the usage pattern, and the amount of RM you are willing to spend. I use Maxxis Bighorn MT764, 31x10.5 R15. They are noisy, have a maximum speed rating of 140 Km/h, but they do perform pretty well off-road. My previous tyres include Maxxis MT762, Bridgestone Deuler AT, and Deuler HT. Which type and size you choose, it's up to you, but know your tyre character and limits well, drive accordingly, and you will be fine. |

Thanks all. I recommend you first try blanking the egr and shut off egr solenoid. You will feel an instant responsiveness of the car. Another mod you could consider is tuning the ecu from the professional, much better than u adding chip, where you cant actually customize much and also the price is about the same. |

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. |

I see no triton Group here, Hilux Club and Ford Ranger probably should be combined for more informative sharing
Looking for a pickup, the new 2.8 Hilux is a tempting one (beside the road tax), the new Hilux also come with tracking device (for anti theft purpose) would the data it transmitted to be against a speeding driver, when it come to insurance premium ? 500 N/m2, and 200HP, boleh lah By the way, any owner here lower their Picky up for stability and faster speed around corner? need the reliability and light goods carrying capacity |

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 Perhaps sifu-sifu can share experience and knowledge |

I'm thinking of installing one but not sure if the stock turbocharger needs to be upgraded as well Perhaps sifu-sifu can share experience and knowledgeIntercooler is an add-on receiving high pressure turbo-charged (hot) air , cools it and delivery to combustion chambers. The cooled air has higher air density for purposes of increased amount of engine horsepower/torque, other things being equal. It works on similar principle as engine oil cooler or transmission oil cooler or engine radiator in terms of cooling . QUOTE(cowboybebop @ May 14 2021, 08:41 AM) How about remap? Is it necessary for installing intercooler? And got noticable difference in performance after installing? Without remap, the ECU 'might' not detect and subsequently instruct fuel pump to deliver 'additional' quantity of diesel fuel to match with increased weight/mass of cooled air delivered to combustion system, hence nullifying potentials of increased output of power/torque curves.Whether the difference is noticeable, IDK if you don't tekan the fuel pedal and no remap.

QUOTE(siksa @ May 14 2021, 10:09 AM) not necessary but remap probably it will give you 2.5vnt performance(150hp or more). tq for sharing, been almost a year and done ecu remap + install intercooler + boost controller on my 2009 vigo non vnt. Happy with it especially during hill climbing compared to before since i've upped the stock turbo boost a bit via the boost controller, i usually get around 20 psi (read from my boost meter) but also 24 psi sometimes when i pressed the gas pedal too much especially when going uphill and overtaking (tamparuli - ranau road). I have been advised by my tuner and also read on forums that it is not recommended to push the non vnt stock turbo over 19 psi but I quite enjoy the power when my boost meter shows 24 psi Therefore, i am thinking of upgrading to a turbo that is capable of high boost for example dmax ihi turbo while keeping other components such as nozzle as they are now. It is also just because i don't want my turbo to blow :/ (The risk is there right?) Is it possible? Do I limit the max boost of the new turbo using the boost controller or a retune?  |

Seems like the new Hilux does not have any mounting point on the roof. Was planning to get a roof rail/rack to mount side awning.

Long idling time with engine and AC on will consume fuel as well. Usually accelerate with rpm in between 2.5k to 3k. Once in a while all the way up to 4k. With power mode on the rpm goes up real fast and the drive is more exciting lol. At worst around 700km before the yellow low fuel indicator ignite. |
