Isuzu Dmax Owners [continued]

[bugoys]

Just want to up my queries. Thanks.

Does anyone of you guys tried cleaning their egr? If yes, kindly post pics naman on how to. How about blanking them?

Also does the turbo spool even on stationary? Like pag mag rerev ka lang in neutral?

Anyone installed a boost gauge on your dmax?

[d_mac]

Yup 4JH1. Gamit ko benchmark sa akyatan sa marcos hiway baguio. 4th gear min. Sa last stretch pa akyat.

Sorry can't edit. Last produced 2005.

Yes mga sirs, kung tutuusin as you described both, "off-the-bottom pull" parang mas malakas pa nga si non-commonrail 4JH1-TC kaysa sa current Philippine D-max 4JJ1-TC standard. Comes in hard actually by seat-of-pants at malumanay ng kaunti si 4JJ1-TC. If i described it ang "hit" parang noong nilagyan ko ng flyweight (flywheel) ang stator ng motor ko na dating 125cc lang ang makina para may roll-on power pa ito ng kahit parang pumupugak nalang sa akyatan. Puede din lakihan ko sana ang sprocket sa likod pero ayaw ko noon dahil babagal naman. Hindi din ako familiar sa gearing spec ng lumang 4JH1-TC D-max compared sa 4JJ1-TC. Yun ang nakita kong unang difference ng dalawang D-max nang binili ko ang 2008 4JJ1-TC, ngunit mas mahaba ang hila ng 4JJ1-TC at mas tipid sa consumo.

Ang gustong ko din dito sa lumang D-max namin ay mas diesel na diesel ang tunog ng makina. Tahimik na ang 4JJ1-TC ngaun comparing them both.

Wala kaming balak sa ngaun din na ibenta itong lumang D-max kahit mahigit na 300,000 kms na binabiyahe since 2004. Bukod dito wala na din sigurong bibili nito hehe dahil pang-harabas at kargahan talaga

Cheers!

Si rna800 yata sir ang nagpa-linis ng EGR niya. He mentioned a shop here sir. Just back read lang or PM him.

Something to look forward by us D-max'ers from the:

2013 4x4 Dual-Cab of the Year in Australia (3.0-litre)
2013 4x4 Pickup of the Year in the UK (2.5-litre twin-turbo)
2013 4x4 Pickup of the Year in Germany (2.5-litre twin-turbo)

Unmatched fuel efficiency from a pickup - the new D-max 3.0 iTEQ VGS Turbo


Behind the steering wheel in this year's Australia's latest Dura-Mile Challenge were none other than the Rally car legends Bruce Garland and Harry Suzuki:
MAX RUN CHALLENGE 2013 | D-MAX | Isuzu UTE Australia

The new D-max is now on sale in SE Asia outside of Thailand, a strong indication that it will soon arrive in Philippines ;)

Cheers!

The new D-max 3.0 iTEQ VGS Turbo is not bad at all despite of its relatively low power & torque numbers in the paper spec (180 metric-hp, 380 Nm torque from 1800-3000 rpm) compared to its competitors.... In fact, the 4x4 version kinain niya lahat ng toughest 4x4 pickups sa Australia (and in the UK, and the place where the diesel engine originated, Germany) for the best pickup of the year award, beating the vaunted Ford Ranger, the king-of-sales Toyota Hilux, Mazda BT-50, Nissan Navara, the new Holden Colorado (Chevrolet Colorado) and new Volkswagen Amarok.

Current News - Isuzu D-MAX picks up three Ute of the Year awards - Isuzu UTE Australia




The "other" new D-max, which is the Euro-issue D-max with the 2.5-litre twin-turbo 4JK1-TCK engine, won in Germany for 2013 under the influential Auto Bild Magazine and in the UK ;) ....This is now the nth time the D-max has won pickup of the year awards in Europe - way back in 2008, 2009 and 2010 for 3 consecutive years, the previous D-max "hood-scoop" 3.0 iTEQ VGS Turbo did it in Austria.

Cheers!

How about you sir? Do you clean them? Or have you blocked it already?

Also how about sa turbo? Does it spool kahit stationary lang? Rev lang in neutral?

I've traverse SCTEX, nang nka babad sa 120kph, okay naman, kaso my worry is baka overboost naman ang turbo specially pag nag short burst ako ng 160kph w/o a/c of course.

Sorry, makulit ako. I want to know more about it kasi. Heheheh.

Advance thank you sa mga patient sumagot ng mga query ko.

[bugoys]

Hi!

Can't edit my post thus, i'll just post another one.

I opened the oil cap earlier while engine is running, oil just comes out like a fountain and smoke. Albeit the smoke that came out is like parang dahil mainit yung loob ng makina hence the smoke. Then it somehow disappeared but can still see signs of parang "smokiness, like yung pag mainit yung kotse, yung bubong"parang nag nag babaga. Or sign of blowby na? All is well naman sa dmax namin, but I know na pag may smoke coming out from the oil cap is a sign of blowby.

By the way sa dip stick wala naman, so normal lang siguro noh?

Idol Bugoys, don't worry asking if you like so and just because you're entitled to do so.... From your questions alone, you are smarter and know more technical things than most of us here, thus YOU DON'T NEED ANY VALIDATION BY RECEIVING FEEDBACKS FROM ANYONE OF US, OR IS IT? HEHE

Anyway, i think we know who you are hehe ;)

Re my EGR sir, i was just lucky to have friends within my Isuzu service centres that's why just before my warranty expired they suggested to replace mg suction valve and the EGR with the 2010 model Philippine-Dmax's, free of charge.... Adapted na sir sa Euro 2 fuel standard mga 2010 model and up D-max's SCV and EGR. Our pre-2010 model D-max 3.0 Ddi-iTEQ are fitted with SCV's adapted for Euro 4 standard so they say.... Basta marunong kang makisama sa mga car service advisors and tech work guys mo sir, they will take care of your own car ;)

Yes, di ba sir, if you're using only ordinary oil or say even semi-synthetic oil, and say your ran your engine over a long mileage, especially at high rpm for relatively long periods, you still have to idle the engine "to keep the bearing housing in the turbo lubricated" as it's rotating kasi may exhaust gas ka naman lumabas even at idle. Even when the bearing housings now are modern and are not prone to "heat soaking" still should my oil is non-fully synthetic, i would still idle the engine for few minutes to even out the heat in the engine or "equalise" somehow while heat is being dissipated - pinapalamig ng kaunti bago ko i-off sakaling ganoon mga oils ko. Kapag low-quality ang oil kasi sir kailangan ma-dissipate muna ng kaunti ang heat kasi prone to "COKING" problems ang mga HINDI fully-synthetic oils.

Fully-synthetic oils do not "coke" or hindi na sila prone to thermal breakdown, that's why personally ever since right after my break-in period or 10,000 kms odo ay synthetic oils. Ito ang isa sa mga primary reasons why some of us use these oils other than they contain:
1. They have high API rating;
2. Very good kinematic viscosities over a wide range of temperature;
3. More additives; and
4. A lot of them have more alkaline properties to negate sulphur oxidation from our relatively high sulphur content diesel fuel, parang acid-base reaction sa high school Chemistry natin ika nga sir ;)

Re our D-max wastegate turbocharger, may by-pass valve ang mga turbo natin at a certain pressure kaya hindi na dadaan sa turbine side ng exhaust ang exhaust flow to speed it up further and compress more air (by the compressor side ng turbo) coming from the inlet side. Hence, pag dumaan sa wastegate by-pass valve, in turn normalised pa rin ang compression ng air kasi hindi naman bibilis ang spin ng turbo sa exhaust side.

Also kahit kayang-kaya naman ang 160 kph ng D-max (Alterra nga kaya 200 kph), hindi ko naman inaabuso sa mga ganyang speeds ang D-max'es namin sir.... Simple lang tayong D-max'ers sa kalye ngunit hindi tayo "mabilis lang sa patag" ;)

Cheers idol!

Boss Joemarski, thanks a LOT for the LIKE - really appreciated ;)

That fuel mileage has never been accomplished by any previous generation D-max 3.0-litre CRDi even when at those times they are already the most fuel efficient midsize diesel pickups. This recent dura-mile fuel efficiency mileage is another living testament sir that even when the Isuzu D-max 3.0 iTEQ VGS Turbo has a relatively bigger engine than its 2.0-litre CRDi and 2.5-litre CRDi pickup competitors, it is still the most fuel efficient pickup by far ;)

....The D-max, also fumes out lesser CO2 concentration compared to all the other pickups and lesser load of CO2 into the atmosphere where load is a function of concentration multiplied by the volume of exhaust gas hehe...

TO TOP IT OFF, pickup comparison reviewers described the engine on the previous generation and new generation D-max as an engine that is "UNDER-STRESSED" (and the most fuel-efficient) even when the going get tough.... As one of the reviewers say, don't underestimate the capability of the D-max by its paper specifications alone hehe.... This is where you'd know that the reviewers from a country know what they're doing ;), and that is, the Australians understand pretty well how utility pickups should be that's why sales of pickups are big in the mostly outback Australia - although the Toyota Hilux 3.0 D-4D is the king of sales worldwide amongst all midsize dual-cab pickups.

Moreover, other than the Aussies, the Europeans also know well their pickups, say the Germans/ Austrians, UK nationals, French etc. and no wonder why the new Isuzu D-max 2.5 twin-turbo (163 hp, 400 Nm from 1400-2400 rpm) is the 2013 pickup of the year in UK and in Germany under the influential Auto Bild magazine. Also, way back in 2008, 2009, and 2010, for 3 consecutive years, the previous generation D-max 3.0 iTEQ VGS Turbo badgd as "3.0 TD Intercooler" In Europe (and Australia) was the best pickup in Austria under the AllRad Champions 4x4 pickup comparison.

Bebenta itong bagong D-max na ito sa Pinas panigurado lalo na pag tapatan ng Isuzu Philippines ang price range ng mga competitors maging ang top-of-the-line ng Hilux 3.0 D-4D

Cheers!

- I haven't tried cleaning it myself, though I wish I know how so I can spare a few thousand in having it cleaned. But I had my cleaned instead of replacing the EGR when the CEL/MIL lit up.

If you have it blocked, the CEL will lit up.

Also does the turbo spool even on stationary? Like pag mag rerev ka lang in neutral?
- I don't hear it spooling when I rev it on stationary but I hear it when it's moving.

Anyone installed a boost gauge on your dmax?
- I don't have any of those in mine.

YUP sir RNA, no load from the engine = no spool to increase boost pressure. Though once we've driven over a long distance some of us don't shut off immediately the engine just to keep the bearing housing lubricated while some of the heat is being dissipated at idle.

Some known techy guys, i think one is Ferman Lao of TopGear PH, does not necessarily suggest leaving the engine at idle to save the integrity of the turbocharger after long periods of driving because, our engine oils he said are much improved now compared to earlier days, he siad, though he mentioned it does not hurt to idel the engine for some time prior to turning the engine off. Some tech guys, on the other hand, suggest idling the engine after a long or hard drive for at least 2-3 minutes to even out the temp in the engine and to keep lubrication in the turbo bearings even when the oil is fully synthetic and even when the bearings now and its housing are tougher than they used to be in the old days. And they have other more reasons than providing further lubrication itself actually....

By the way chief, what's the name of your shop that did your EGR cleaning? Any contacts and address?

Cheers!
