QUOTE(makky @ Oct 20 2011, 03:24 PM) 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. |

QUOTE(siksa @ Oct 20 2011, 05:46 PM) with intercooler and unichip it can probably get to 140-160hp and large amount of torque increase. Easily. |

QUOTE(makky @ Oct 20 2011, 10:32 PM) I already place booking for my second hilux, will plan to add an intercooler but without much cutting. Just in search for top mount recon intercooler from prado 3.0 at recon yard and cut the hood to fit the stuff...one thing is bordering me is the waiting time till march next year...huh.. 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.  |

QUOTE(makky @ Oct 22 2011, 04:45 PM) 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. This post has been edited by victor87: Oct 22 2011, 07:54 PM |

QUOTE(siksa @ Oct 24 2011, 10:52 AM) 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? |

QUOTE(makky @ Oct 28 2011, 09:06 PM) How about Garrett GT25R? can boost lot compare with VNT right.? Yup, they do have for the VP44. but not plug and play and require some wires cutting & tapping.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. Can boost higher fot sure, but the question is, can your engine make it out? |

QUOTE(peachmonkey @ Nov 10 2011, 05:16 PM) 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). These chip increase more torque than hp. you will be expecting close to 40NM, 15~20hp of torque/hp increase.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. 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.  |
