Dors 2.7 Legend 35 Hilux

Post by Arno »

Wat kry julle op bg ?
My 2000 2.7 het my altyd 8km/l en self meer op die oop pad teen 120/130 gegee.
My 2005 legend 35 sukkel om gereeld 7km/l te gee. Ek het onlangs 6km/l gekry me 'n kopwind en niks op die dak ....sonder dakrak nie.
In Mei deur Namibia en gemiddeld net oor 6 gekry. Alles 4x2 gery en nie vinniger as 130 nie, kan nie vinniger bekostig nie.
Is daar 'n oplossing ?
dankie

Hi Arno

I have asked myself this question many a time. From the research I have done and the many threads I have read, the fuel consumption on the 2.7 is between 6-8 km/l

I am speaking under correction, but i think the older model had a different intake manifold that made it a little bit lighter on fuel.

I have a 2004 2.7 dc and i tend to avg around 7km/l, but I have a SAC stage one conversion (chip, branch, exhaust and airbox mod). I find there is no difference in my fuel consumption between traveling 110 kph or 130kph.

Hope this helps

Tell us more about the airbox mod ?

Here is something to make you feel much better.
My 2002 2.7i gives me 4.6km/L - 5.2km/L depending on how I'm driving.
Nothing wrong with my Lux, bought it stock standard from n meisiekind with 111,000km on the clock.
Well looked after and hardly ever did offroad. I got over 7km/L but then everything changes when I
changed it into a man-lux, :laugh2:
Comes with the sport manne!

Hows that for DORS :!: :thumbup:

Ek het 'n 1999 2.7 hy het my 7.2-7.5 gegee toe jik my g@t en laat doen flreeflow enchip en dino toe foeter ek hom op en hy gee my 6.5 en raak al slegter na 4.5 met baie rook en swak trek krag. Allen het hom onder hande gehad, chip weg gegooi (altans ek dink so) en hy is nou weer seep gald, kan net nog nie sê hoe swaar op petrol hy nou is nie.

Dankie aan almal wat kommentaar gelewer het. Dit lyk my dis die wet van Transvaal wat geld as mens 'n 2.7 wil ry.
Julle het my darem geld gespaar want ek het oorweeg om die SAC conversion te doen maar volgens die terugvoer op die forum sal dit hom nie ligter maak nie so sal daai geld hou vir petrol.
Nogmaals dankie.

Pre-faclift modelle is heelwat liger op sous as die facelift modelle. Soos in Willem se post, dit gaan oor die 8 port vs 4 port inlet manifold - en dit gaan weer oor emissions of sulke tree hugger stories.

In my opinie maak jy nie n voud om die SAC conversion te doen as jy meer poeier soek nie, hier is my weergawe.

Ek was by SAC en het met die manne gesels voor ek die job laat doen het.

Blykbaar as jy vra vir die UniChip maar vra nie vir n spesifieke map setting nie dan sit hulle vir jou n 50/50 map setting chip in, wat beteken dat dit gestel is vir 50% consumption en 50% performance.

Wat wil jy uit jou SAC conversion he?

Wel ek het vir die manne gese ek is klaar gewoond aan *a* brandstof verbruik so gee my 100% performance!, No problem, die UniChip was ge-remap volgens wat ek wou he en ek is nie vir een dag spyt nie, my brandstof verbruik het verbeter want ek trap daai lepel nie meer so diep vir die krag wat ek soek nie maar ek het sakke vol poeirs ekstra!
Mens kan n map selctor switch ook laat installeer maar dit is veel duurder en volgens my nie die moeite werd nie.

Doen jouself n guns en gaan raadpleeg SAC eers en hoor of hulle vir jou die conversion kan doen met n meer economic map setting.
