Re: Introduction to myself and my Bakkie from AUS

Moenie worry nie, ek het n lekker twang in my taal. Dis soos n hybrid South African English en Aussie English met n bietjie Afrikaans in die accent.

I don't even think South Africans will believe I'm an expat or even an Aussie. They us half-casts.. :taunt:

Re: KZTE Enjin Probleem

Stem 100% saam met die vorige twee opmerkings. Die CT12b Turbo is `n ou ontwerp, maar baie betroubaar! Ek het `n 'twin-turbo' Supra gehaad wat twee CT12b's in sequential mode ge-operate het. Ons het daai goed wel oor die 25PSI ge-boost. Geen probleem. Maar daar was supporting mods. Standaard hardloo...

Re: Newbie from Manila Philippines

Hi all. I'm a newbie. So new I'm one day shy of having my truck. I take delivery tomorrow. I'm looking forward to learning here and hopefully sharing too. Very welcome Renan! Believe it or not the Philippines are quite the country to be in for 1KZ-TE engined Hilux. Your KZ's are better tuned and yo...

Re: Newbie van George

Welkom,

Gaan na 265/75/15's. Go all out. 245's is ok in die sand en grond paaie, maar 265's gee vir jou so veel meer beheer. Ook, `n steering stabiliser van OME is `n goeie opsie!

Geniet jouself!

Re: LED Bar light on KZTE

Mad Bakkie mate! The LED light bars are a very big thing here in AUS at the moment. But your whole front end arrangement is to my exact taste, spotties, light bar, ARB Steel Bull Bar. Plus it's the best shape Hilux out there...just looks tuff! The Raider's are called SR5's in AUS and are slightly le...

Re: Diesel Performence Tuning Advice

I would like to reopen this thread if that is ok? It raises some very important issues regarding ECU's under European standards, which SA and Aus comply with. Due to strict European emission requirements that do not apply here in the Philippines, Toyota purposely limits the amount of fuel at low eng...

Re: Introduction to myself and my Bakkie from AUS

Hiya Jack, welcome! Keen to see some stuff the Aussies do with their bakkies - they really have some cool goodies. Aussies love their their aftermarket plug and play "chips". The variety and abilities of these chips are just ridiculous in terms of ECU and other electronic control. I belie...

Re: KZTE turbo probleme?

Probeer rond ry met `n Snorkel en `n 3" exhaust. Die turbo klink soos `n Peterbilt Truck se Turbo. Ek hou eintlik baie daarvan. Dis baie normaal vir die CT12b Turbo om te 'whistle'. Dis `n ou watercooled design met bush bearings. Die D4D's het ball bearing VGT's. Plus die CT12b's het wastegates...

Re: KZTE intercooler sonder chip?

As jy kan, kry `n boost controller of `n boost tee, kyk op Google. Om dit te doen sit daar `n klein rubber hose tussen die wastegate en compressor housing op jou turbo. Lees duer hierdie instruksie http://www.turbosmart.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/BC_SingleStage.pdf . Dis biejtie van `n groot ...
