Isuzu Dmax Owners [ARCHIVED]

[Bogan]

i guess so po kuya manual throttle, try to ask din po others kung mthrottle talaga ang 4jh1, i bought a 45 degree stainless angle tube 2.5inch diam and nagpawelding ako ng 2.5inch diam na pipe 3 inches, total length with elbow4.3 inches... i got a pod filter sa motorcycle parts P350... dont forget to disconnect pala the maf sensor... peace... ^_^

waw youre my new idol

if you feel like re trying eto yung instructions nung diesel guy na nag dodose. same as the king of dose dixie lol

lol mate heres the to do list...

1.ur car has to be turbo
2.u need an intercooler (ANY SIZE BUT BIGGER IS BETTER)
3.move ur air flow meter right before the throttle body (ill explain why later)
4.remove everything comming of the mouth of ur turbo..silicon hoses etc..
5.get a steel pipe (straight if possible and around 15cm in length,but it should not be wider than the mouth of ur turbo) and silcon hose it to the mouth of ur turbo.the air flow meter can stay infront of ur steel pipe to but it reads better if you move in infront of ur throttle body,one reason people do this is so that there is only a steel pipe and nothing else comming of ur turbo..me personaly would move it becuase i noticed that it does silence the dose a bit

6.check ur intercooler piping for any blow of valves,if there are any block or remove them complety.
7.start ur car..hold the rpms at around 3-4000 (typical boost starts at around 2.5 on a diesel) and let of the throttle..
8.now if it dident dose its most probaly because
(a).u dident block or remove ur blow of valve
(b).ur car has an electronic throttle body..if this is the case then read on (on most diesels the electronic throttle body dosent complety shut..it stays open abour 1/4 of the way to alow idle air (WHO EVER CAME UP WITH THAT SHOULD BE SHOT)..

9.now the triton is electronic throttle to and had that problem..we went around to heaps of performance shops and ask wat can be done..90% of the time the answer was (buy a new throttle body from mitsubishi and we can open it up and take a look inside)..but the problem was that the electronic throttle costed just over $1k..and the performance shop wasent 100% sure that he could fix it..but we took a risk and gave it a try and BANG..he broke it lol..so we went through 3 throttle bodys (almost $4000) and finally he got it right...and yea thats wat u can do (most people dont becuase with 4000 u can just buy a vl turbo and dose away with no problems lol)..
10.now if u have a vl tu...lol jokes hope all this helps..
take it easy mate

hi guys,

just tonight, drove thru about 200 meters of "over half tire height flood waters". but still below the fog light level.

during that time the indicator lights for the brake/handbrake and battery/charging lighted up at the same time. after about four seconds both of them turned off. ano kaya nangyari?...

Ok lang yan. Nangyayari yan pag masyadong malalim yung baha o pag napabilis ang takbo mo sa baha. Actually yung dati kong pick-up (1996 L200), ganyan din pag nilusong ko sa baha. Sabi nung electrician may natitilansikan daw na mga electrical contact sa ilalim kaya ganun, wag lang daw gawing araw-araw ang paglusong sa baha.

i think my ride is ok because i dont detect with my senses any fault, strange sounds or decrease in performance. no water inside the lights.

na pa subo lang talaga nun gabi ng monday yun, nag atrasan yun iba PUJ but tinuloy ko na rin coz nag fog up narin eyeglasses ko (off aircon and other electricals, park light lang) mahirapan pa ako mag reverse. and my house is only less than a kilometer away nalang from flooded road of katipunan ave sa marikina.

Using above point, meron 3rd brake light lens ba ang dmax na parang sa ford explorer, yun clear yun both edges or lower part ata? to help illuminate rearview when backing-up. i need that.

though the two indicator lights again briefly flashed after driving a few meters starting my trip on tuesday and Wednesday mornings (maybe nga moisture or wetness on some terminals). .

Pwede ba DIY and spray contact cleaner and/or WD40 dun sa easily accesible terminals and electrical contacts?

yun repack and lubrication ng bearings and joints, e schedule ko na..


thanks

Mga sir sorry for asking but what do you mean dose? Is it the boost psi? I'm also planning to up my boost on my Max. kaya lng i have the 08 model and it comes with a drive by wire throttle. I saw on the turbo that it comes with a valve instead of a blow off your putting. I can put spring on it to increase boost. What type of boost gauges are you using?

[vanleano]

dose pipe kuya is just a regular steep pipe that goes straight to the inlet of the mouth of the turbo... it makes the tutututututututu sound from the turbo and the inlet pipe... hope this answers your curiosity... kuya bogan posted a video clip of the dose pipe and some instructions on the diy part... hope this answers your curiosity... peace po ^_^

Hello peeps,

Just had my first 'major' problem with my almost three year old max. About four days ago it suddenly started hiccuping when it reaches 2k rpm. The local Isuzu shop replaced the two fuel filters after finding a lot of sludge.

Still the hiccuping continued. Today, fortunately, a technician from Isuzu Mandaue (Cebu) was in town and was able to diagnose the system with his computer and found nothing wrong. Initially, he thinks its just the dirt in the fuel system. As of this moment, I'm still awaiting the advice from his head (in Cebu) as to what has to be done next.

What do you think guys?

Guys,

Advise naman po kung san maganda bumili/magpalagay ng DMax Accessories: Side Stepboards, Plastic Bedliners, Double Rollbars with ABS Plastic at Fog Lamps. Bibili na po kc ako ng DMax LX. Balik ko din palitan yun LX ko ng Chrome handles at Chrome Side Mirrors. Para magmukhang LS.

Saan po ba ok at san mas makakamura? Sa Casa or sa Banawe? ok po ba sa Banawe. Kung bibilhin ko na po at ok sa Banawe pwede ba yun ipalagay na lang sa Casa?

Kayo na po bahala mag-advise. Maraming salamat po sa inyo. Thanks to this thread.

[st_omach]

Paki choose na rin po ako ng color.....Touchstone Gray po at Glacial White lang available sa LX.

Ano po kaya ok sa dalawang color?
Anyway naita ko yun Touchstone Gray kanina turn off ako... well cguro marumi lang kc....anyway kayo na rin po bahala pumili at thanks uli ng marami!

jubilum - when the 'hiccup' comes on, how does the engine react? Does it lag or hesitate? My first guess would be the fuel injectors. Second would be the throttle system.

Also, the turbo kicks-in at 2k rpm so that may also be a source of the hiccup.

For the record, I have my fuel filter replaced every change oil knowing how dirty our diesel is here. It is quite normal that I find sludge, dirt in the can yet my engine runs fine.
