What do you think about 89 Pajero 4x4 ?

sino ba si GEN? :mrgreen:

afrasay,

Buti nga yung sa iyo umabot ng 100 kph, eh. Yung sa amin hanggang 80 kph lang. Pero road or no road, it will still hit 80 kph (ayos, astig!).

Ano problema sa Ali Mall? Hindi ako Cubao person, eh.

as for the engine, baka mas mura pa mag swap ng 4d56tdic or 4m40tdic kesa i-turbo mo yung stock engine. saka pag nag-turbo ka kasi ng stock, walang throttle sensor kaya yung pag-regulate ng turbo hindi kasing ganda ng makina na factory stock yung turbo.

may na-email ako dati sa dieselguys na guide to buying used pajero. baka meron pang may kopya na pwede mag forward kay sir. loco... wala na kasi ako kopya nun dahil nag-crash yung hard drive ko dati.

I was interested before in getting one of those Gen I Pajeros that first came out of Subic (orig LHD). I nearly bought a SWB one with J-top and the 2.6L 4-cylinder gas engine, but I was hesitant because of all the stories I heard about the cylinder heads of these engines being to cracks and it was very difficult to get replacement ones. Aside from this, I heard that it had a very thirsty engine because it was still using a carburetor.

Anyone with any experience about this engine on these Gen I Pajeros? I'm still thinking about getting one of these Pajeros with the 2.6L 4-cylinder gas engine but I'd really like to know if these engines are easy to repair and maintain and if there are parts readily available (such as cylinder heads, carbs, etc.). I plan to use this as a daily driver. I would appreciate any advice you guys can give me regarding this specific engine.

Sir splerdu, IFS po ang GEN I. Yung Mitsubishi Jeep ang live axle nila.

Yung 2600 na gasolina nasubukan ko na i-drive dati. Kaso sa LWB nakakabit. Walang hiya ang bagal! Hehehe. Wala halos low end torque dahil gasolina. Rev ka ng rev to get things going. Hindi katulad ng diesel na perfect for stop and go.

Siguro mas match iyon sa SWB. Ganito yata ang makina ng Pajero SWB ni sir otomatic, offroadmom and Boy2,

Otep,

Actually, namaneho ko na yung SWB na Gen I Pajero na may 2.6L gas engine. Okey naman ang performance for this body. Ang concern ko lang talaga ay totoo ba yung mga sinasabi ng iba na prone daw sa cracking yung mga cylinder heads ng makinang ito? At saka marami pa bang available parts nito such as the cylinder heads at carbs? Nagtanong ako before sa mga surplus dealers at ang sabi ay mahirap daw makahanap ng mga cylinder heads na walang crack kaya naisip ko na kung sakaling masira yun e mahirap mapalitan.

To otomatic, offroadmom and Boy2,

Puwede kayang ikuwento ninyo sa akin ang mga firsthand experiences ninyo sa mga rides ninyo particularly sa engine nito, since na-mention ni Otep na puro mga Gen I Pajero SWB na may 2.6L gas engine ang mga sasakyan ninyo. Thanks in advance.

thanks to all your replies guys..I will look at the car tomorrow morning sa may bulakan..uwi ako pampanga kaya dadaanan ko na lang..pajero is diesel 4x4, don't know if it's turbo..it is being sold by a friend to me..

All power ba yung lumabas ng 89?
Anymore tips? Any things that I have to check in detail, e.g. how do I know na ok pa engine pag diesel, etc. or u might have that softcopy docs about buying 2nd hand pajeros..
will really appreciate it..thanks

[OTEP]

El Loco,

Halos lahat ng Pajero (except the very early and the government ones) ay all power. Yung 88 namin and yung kay afrasay (parehong non-turbo), all power na.

Test drive the vehicle to see if everything works. If you want pa-compression test mo yung makina.

Hahanapin ko yung docs mamya when I get home.

[El Loco]

I will be looking at this car tomorrow, wish me luck. Any important points that I need to look at considering that medyo old ang model? Calling all gurus!!!
how's the fuel consumption of this pajero? is it like driving a 2.0 gas fed sedan or more than that? thanks
