I just booked my Hilux 3.0 facelift last 2 weeks, it will arrive Jan 2012. So many months of sleepless night to go. 

Why top mount?? Most of the member i know prefer to make it the bumper style.

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. 

Just booked hilux 3.0 vnt (loan not yet approved) & now umw introduced 2.5 vnt. Should i cancel the booking & apply for 2.5 vnt?

Erm, i got situation here. Early this year i got myself a hilux 2.5, then now Toyota lunch the new 2.5 vnt version. Should i change my car? just 6 month plus old car. How it goes?

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.

yes, I know. But I still would like to get it repaired. Question is: where should I take it other than authorised service centres?

Hi all sifu there, i just bought a 2007 Hilux 2.5 auto, intend to upgrade the performance....may i know what is the best tunning chip in the market now?
can i add intercooler system to this model?
what is the others option that have to modify?
i like to lift up the car as well....

pls help

thanks for the suggestion.
cant handle over 18psi???? what it mean? it is useless to add a intercooler.....
BTV is damn expensive.....it is possible to just the suspension or absorber to lift up the car 

hilux sucks! but VNT is awesome & amazing
triton even better not so bumpy

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

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,

I own a 2006 Hilux Vigo Auto.  I want to lift the height of my vigo.  Is it advisable to do so in term of safety?  What lift kit is good and how much?  Thank you guys.

Lols..Too many admirers is not good..they often send you the love letter 

Hahaha.. Great shot..

I'm thinking of pedal lock and also alarm which you have a GPS tracker and also you can remotely lock your car when your car is diving away by theft.. Anyone knows about is..?
And please share your experiences..

I own a vigo manual 2.5 non vnt ... should i add intercooler? cuz i scare turbo lag will happen.
