Hilux 4x4 Forum

After 6 years of Gotech and Dictator and many dynos later and averaging at 5.3km/ I finally found a airflow meter and computerbox. All is fitted and running, needs to get a dyno and fine tune but on the setup at the moment I am getting 6.6km/l This is a vast improvement which can only get better once I fit a dastec chip.

Guta is die chip nie bietjie soos "defeating the object" nie. Jy het nou jou OEM goed nou wil jy dit modify

Not quite, because at least with the OEM all the sensors are connected and I should get the same power but with better fuel consumption. I dont know what the power is but it feels pretty much the same as before. It starts better in the morning and is running much smoother. I am much happier with it now. I have a Dastek chip at home, so it wont cost me anything other than to have it fitted and dyno tuned. I know you said your brother is a fundi with Gotech, but I have been battling to tune this engine for so long now. At least I can fix this bakkie anywhere now without having to worry about losing maps and other bollie.

Neeeeeeeee chom ek weet nie van al die probleme wat jy ondervind nie, ek het baie krag en kry baie beter brandstof verbruik as jy. My boet het n 4x2 Lux met n 2JZ GTE wat hy manage met n Go-Tech ProX en die ding is n monster. Sy ander 4x2 het n 2JZ GE in met die Go-Tch mini box en sy 4x4 en myne het ook Go-Tech boxse in, daar is is ook n paar ander bakkies wat hy gedoen het en nie met een van hulle het ons daai soort van pynne nie. Wie wire en map die bakkie vir jou Wat die start aan betref dink ek jou cold start is nie reg gemap gewees nie.
Voorspoed met die veranderinge en hou ons op hoogte met alles.

Jaco, I am not going to run anyone down but Gotech themselves dyno'd my bakkie 4 times, Rightway developments in Midrand 2 times (The owner is not very honest and takes customers for a ride)
RBTS Racing also did it 2 times and then he fitted the Dictator and we did it another 2 times (very helpful guy and does alot of these vehicles)
I only got 3.5km/l when Rightway dyno'd it. With the other 2 it was pretty much the same between 5.3 and 5.8km/l
I agree with you on the cold start, it was never running properly.
I think the OEM is running a bit lean at the moment because on very light throttle it jerks a bit. Will have to have that sorted out, but all in all I am happy with the way its running at the moment. You must also remember the 4x4 is much heavier on fuel than the 4x2, so I think around 7km/l would be damn good. Anything over that would be in diesel category.

Wel COMPFS praat van 8.6Km/l, but anyway kyk wat kan jy regkry.

I don't think CHOMPF knows what he is getting, he said he still needs to fill it up and check exactly how much. From what I saw he thinks it was 8.6km/l
We should check up on him now and get an update.

Gunta wrote:I don't think CHOMPF knows what he is getting

En as dit wel soveel is wat dan want ek kry ook tussen 8 en 9km/l met my 6.

You have a different engine which is much newer than the 7mge, but I would like to speak to CHOMPF after a month or so and see how happy he is. If he is still happy then I will go and visit your brother and have a Gotech fitted.

My consumption is op die lang pad oor die agt het laas week donderdag uitgery plaas toe dus 65km soontoe daar bietjie deur die kampe en huis toe weer . Hier vol gemaak en dit was so 8.2km/l . Ek het wel n ruk op so 110km maar as ek hom oor sit 3de rat toe gaan dit weg . Cold starting geen probleem . Ek het hom nog nie in low range gery nie maar al die ander goed lyk baie mooi . Ek kan Louw aanbeveel hier is manne hier in bloem wat wil deur ry na hom toe nadat hulle my bakkie gery het . Sal nog steeds terug report .

Corrie, what power are you getting on the wheels?

Chom in die game het jy of krag of jou bakkie is ekkonomies maar al twee is soos wors in n hondehok, die naaste wat jy aan dit kom is met n 1JZ GTE, AMEN
Oja
Dan moet dit n manual gearbox wees met n after-market ECU My broer se 4x2 met die 2JZ GE in is vinniger en ligter op brandstof as my 4x4 en dit gaan alles oor ratio's en gewig.

A 4x2 will always be quicker than a 4x4 because of weight and height. It would be nice to have the fuel consumption when you drive like miss daisy and when you feel the urge to put the pedal down it will be heavier on juice.
Does your boet have a dyno or is he tuning on the road?

On the road

Has he worked on Dictator?

Gunta wrote:Has he worked on Dictator?

Hy stel nie belang nie.

The standard ECU sounds like the best bet to me! Glad you came right.

I also had endless problems with cold starts with the Dicktator, and the Unichip will fine tune the engine and hopefully get more horses out too :)

my 2c is you did the right thing

What did you fit the Dictator to?

I fitted a dicktator to a turbo charged 20v 4AGE :)

Did you have problems with the Dictator? Mine acually went well other than it was heavy on fuel and battled to start in the morning.

Its easy to cover tuning issues with fuel. the americans have done it with their HUGE carbs for years :)

I personally know the guys who developed the GoTech and the ProX is a fantastic piece of kit but like any tool its only as good as the guy who uses it so the installer is of paramount importance.

BTW I get 9.5 - 11 Km/l on my Diesel 3C-T straight out of the scrap yard without a dyno! and I still have taken her to 170Km (pics to proveit too)
