KZ-TE - Worrying Fuel Consumption
My Trusty Steed, a 3L KZ-TE D/C with a Dastek Intercooler and 128 000 km on the clock, does concern me a little bit.
Since I bought it 10 000 km ago, it has given me a consumption figure of 7.5 km/l., in town and highway driving.
The open road does not make a major difference.
Comparing this to my previous KZ-TE S/C, no intercooler, with 90 000 km on the clock that gave me 9 km/l under the same driving conditions.
In mho I cannot think that there should be such a major difference between the two vehicles. Both has been serviced by the agents and nothing extra-ordinary picked up.
Where would be the first place to start looking to improve my fuel consumption or am I being oversensitive ?

Re: KZ-TE - Worrying Fuel Consumption
Just about the only thing those 2 vehicles have in common is the fact that they are Hiluxes and are diesel driven. The motors are different (I/C vs Non I/C), the bodyshapes (D/C vs S/C) are different... You cannot expect the one to return the same consumption figures as the other one. You being oversensitive and lift up on the right foot...

Re: KZ-TE - Worrying Fuel Consumption
Excuse my ignorance : Is the Intercooler not supposed to make the engine run more efficient ?

Re: KZ-TE - Worrying Fuel Consumption
Ja dit is seker so, maar dit verander ook die kraglewering van die voertuig, wat beteken hy "ry" lekkerder. Ek was miskien bietjie oorhaastig met my opmerking, maar die voertuie verskil heelwat. Laat tune hom mooi en kyk dan..SIGNMAN wrote: Excuse my ignorance : Is the Intercooler not supposed to make the engine run more efficient ?

Re: KZ-TE - Worrying Fuel Consumption
Dit hang alles af hoe die "piggyback" of "chip" gestel is, jy kan hoom laat remap vir ekonomie.
n Intercooler verkoel die lug sodat jy meer kan boost en meer diesel gooi om meer krag te kry sonder om die pistons te smelt.
My standaard KZTE kry ook 8.5 tot 10 km/l, hy kry net 10 as ek 100 tot 110 ry.

Daai ouens se shop is soos 'n worsmasjien, dit gaan meer oor volume karre deur die shop as oor kwaliteit tyd op die dyno. Search maar op die forum hier was al 2 of drie ouens wat hulle 3RZs baie beter laat remap het by my buurman (Dynologic) as wat SAC vir hulle wou doen. SAC doen 30 minute dynos en stel nie regtig jou engine 100% nie. Willem (3RZ op die forum) het sy bakkie meer as eenkeer terug gehad en hulle kon hom nooit behoorlik sort nie.
Ongelukkig weet ek nie van iemand wa jou diesel behoorlik kan map nie

Re: KZ-TE - Worrying Fuel Consumption
Blykbaar is die intercooler deur Dastel geinstalleer, en ek neem aan die ECU is ook deur hulle gemap.BenHur wrote:Sterkte

Is daar iemand wat ondervinding van hulle het, of enigiemand anders wat julle kan aanbeveel ?

Re: KZ-TE - Worrying Fuel Consumption
What size tyres does the new truck have? And the old one?
changing from 30'(245) to 31'(265) will see a drop of 1km/l at least...

If you are a diesel fan, raise your hand.
If you aren't raising your hand, raise your standards!
A 4x4 is merely a machine that enables you to get stuck further away from civilization.

Ek wil ook nou maar my se kom se het vir Yster die week by SAC in Boksburg gehad het mos die intercooler van onder na bo verskuif in my opinie die beste modifikasie op die bakkie.
Ek het spesifiek gevra hulle moet kyk na fuel consumption het die bakkie twee dae later terug gekry en R800 tab.
Op die job card word gese fuel consumption kan nie ge waarborg word nie suspension is gelig wiele is groter as normaal ens en ja voor ek vergeet die intercooler is nie efficient waar hy nou gemount is nie "excuse me so geen 3D4D is efficient nie " maar daar gelos.
Was die nawee bosveld toe Naboom na die mooiste plek op die aarde het fuel consumption gekyk 8.4 meestal 4x4 low range en crawling oppad terug nie eenkeer oor die 110km /hr 8.7 km/ltr.
So die moral van die storie hulle is swaar op diesel en ongelukkig is dit die prys wat ons moet betaal vir daardie gerief.
Ps. Kyk maar na ander mense ook vir service van julle 4x4
Everything keeps going right Toyota
