Dagsê almal! Ek is van Vaalwater in Limpopo en het onlangs 'n mooi '95 SFA Hilux D/C gekoop. Ek het binne 6 weke die 22R uitgehaal en 'n 3C Turbo ingesit; kon nie met die brandstofverbruik en swak performance regkom nie. Ek ry in elk geval nog al die jare diesel voertuie en het steeds my F250 D/C 4x4.

Indien ek al 'n vraag mag vra: ek dink daaraan om 'n intercooler op die 3C te sit; hoofsaaklik vir laer EGT's en hopelik beter ekonomie en performance. Enige raad of advies?

Ek het al lekker in die forum rondgeblaai en geniet dit baie.

Groete,
Paul

Hi there welcome

A intercooler will help with all of the above. when i did my wl conversion in my lux i ased the intercooler from a ranger i think i paid 2500 for a new one from ford back then i placed it on top of the motor with a scoop on the bonnet i didnt want mud and bugs to block it and the air is a little bit cooler than close to the ground and i think it helped a bit with cooling the engine aswell

Welcome Paul.The 3c turbo is a great engine and should match your hilux nicely.Many years ago I installed a 2c turbo to my hilux but found it too underpowerd for the 4x4 with 15 inch 31-10 wheels.I reversed the conversion back to my original 22r engine.I could not find a 3c at the time.

KZTE Oil level light

Post by RJH »

Hi almal. Sit met n probleem na my bakkie se engin oorgedoen is. Net so min na start kom die oranje oil level liggie aan. Olie vlak is as die engine koud is en as jy dit kyk as jy die engin dadelik afsit en kyk. Die rooi olie liggie brand gland nie as die engine loop nie brand soos normaal as jy start en gaan dan af.

Kan iemand my dalk sê hoekom die oranje olie liggie brand
