[silikon08]

so this is the current state of the truck.....

[silikon08]

Just figured out how to post an image...

[silikon08]

Been very busy with work....so here it goes...

[silikon08]

So about few years back, I left Southern California for Jakarta.

A bit information about cars and trucks in Indonesia.
Vehicles is taxed based on engine sizes.
For engine that is larger than 3.0 lire, the tax is a bit more...thus explained why manufactures here tend to offered cars that are bellow 3.0.

Unlike other South East Asian countries, we only have the following version in 2010:
- 2.7 L petrol
- 2.5 L turbo diesel without an intercooler....about 101 hp. 0 to 60 mph was very soloed.

In other South East Asian countries, the 3.0 L turbo diesel with intercooler was available.

After having the truck for less than 1 year, I could not stand the sluggishness.

Time for modification to the 2KD-FTV engine.

Since there were no Intercooler version available in Indonesia....I start searching for a factory intercooler
After a while...I found one in ebay for less than $100

[silikon08]

[silikon08]

should be simple right to bolt the top mount intercooler?

I was wrong...

Things that I have to modified:
- AC piping
- turbo position -> from facing down to facing up....I have to rotate the housing 180 degrees
- brackets...brackets.....made numerous custom brackets were made

After all of that I have to modified the hood also for the scoop so that the intercooler can get air.

[silikon08]

So...after about 1 month, I managed to make the truck a bit more drivable.
It was packing 101+ hp....I believe about 120 hp.

and...I let the need for more power....so I visit one of the local tuner who is specialized in diesel tuning.

First was to add a Piggyback from Thailand called "Monster Max KD"...this tuned the engined....the truck was dyno and the result was 168 hp @ 4,000 RPM...not bad.

[silikon08]

Next...added the SCV Controller....

[silikon08]

After the SCV control valve and the EGR delete....the dyne result is...



The truck is now rated at 199.8 hp at 3,500 RPM...

[silikon08]

All of the hoses that were custom made because the position of the turbo in correlation to the top mount intercooler was not the same as that of the 2KD-FTV with the intercooler from the factory.

To think of it.... this was one of a kind conversion; therefore, all the parts with the exception of the factory intercooler and the hood....all were custom made by Silikon Motorsport.

Incase anyone interested...I still kept the parts

Well done silikon08,

I am sure it is much nicer to drive now.

[silikon08]

Not long after all the work we have done to the truck.....the truck was involved in pile up...and we are smack in the middle.
So....front and rear are squashed
