my safari has an open type filter......

**promdiboy** · June 1st, 2003 03:08 AM

ang problem po kasi yung knn filter ko is not cone na isa lang ang opening. both sides may butas nagpafabricate lang ako ng takip ang tube. diesel engine experts ok lang kaya to? or bili na ako bagong stock knn filter, sayang kasi yung knn filter.

buhay na naman ang dieselclub.org! :mrgreen:

Ei Doc,

Safe ba saksakan ng high pressure water yung tambutso para maka-bawas sa usok? Yung tubig ba ay hindi papasok sa exhaust manifold?

:D

**TEAL** · June 3rd, 2003 01:57 PM

doc diesel, in addition to bogart's question, will pressure washing of tambutso damage the turbo mechanism of an Isuzu XTO?

Thanks.

**Doc Diesel** · June 15th, 2003 06:54 PM

pwede yan bogart, as long as huwag mo paabutin dun sa primary muffler mo.

teal, I don't think aabot sa turbo yung water, so ok lang.

the reason why most (brand new) diesel-powered AUVs and SUVs "smoke-belch" is because of the very restrictive oe air filter.

using free-flow or cone-type filters will reduce chances of air starvation?

comments will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

:D

I beg to disagree! The air filters installed are OEM are custom manufactured for the respective engines!

The problem lies in the DIESEL FUEL being manufactured by the big Three! The specs are out of whack from the international standard specs in terms of cleanliness (sulfur content etc...).

woodfire:

first, no argument with the Diesel fuel being sold here, bro.

also, u don't have to tell me that the air filters are OEM and that they are custom manufactured by their respective makers!

All of us, i think, are pretty much aware of this fact. No argument here either!

i still maintain though, and i find OEM filters very restrictive by design. more so, when the engine is subjected to heavy loads or going uphill, where demand for air is much greater.

lack of air usually translates to poor a/f mix thereby causing diesel-powered engines to "smoke belch."

anyway,

i am merely inquiring whether it is adviseable to upgrade to a freeflow-type (or maybe cone) air filter to help solve the demand for more air requirement of n/a diesel engines?

thanks.

doc diesel

ok bang gumamit ng biodiesel ang xto manual

**notEworthy27** · June 25th, 2003 12:53 PM

Doc Diesel,
Free flow or Cone Type or Snorkel???

Which will make a greater difference in peroformance?

Ano yung pros and cons?

**Doc Diesel** · July 1st, 2003 01:04 PM

teka, teka, teka......

in diesel engines, air quantity is only second to air quality that goes inside the engine. kung may "unrestrictive" air filter ka, this also causes smoke since there is more air than the fuel. again, what's important is how clean is the air that goes in coupled with clean diesel.

yung bio diesel naman is ok for mostly mechanical fuel injection systems. huwag lang gamitin sa mga common rail type of fuel system like what the high end trooper has at paniguradong sira yung pump nyo agad.

Doc Diesel

am i right to assume then that you would not recommend biodiesel for the zd30 engine of the patrol?
could you elaborate on why or why not?

DOC! welcome back! nice to see the resident GURU on the board again...

- ei Doc, so you dont advise using bio diesel on trooper?

**promdiboy** · July 4th, 2003 04:30 AM

Hehe... kaya ako, iwas kaagad when the car in front of me smoke belches. Ayoko mahawa ang ride ko (parang sipon eh). Also, I change my air filter every 5000km if possible (I get the cheaper ones).

Doc Diesel, why do those new Pajeros and Troopers blelch black smoke (aside from using lousy fuel)? Is there a problem with the turbo?

cj · July 4th, 2003 06:17 PM

hanep... seeing DOC DIESEL and DIESELERS posts bring back the good old days!

to admins: sorry for the OT. medyo na-carried away eh.. =)

**zitro** · July 5th, 2003 08:15 PM

Doc Diesel,

ano ba problema pag dragging ang sasakyan? nag palit na ako ng clutch disc, pressure plate & release bearing.. pag naka first gear then bibitawan mo, lakas ang kadyot.. also second gear same thing, pag nag bitaw ka ng silinyador, kumakadyot.. my mechanic friend told me baka daw fly wheel na kailangan ipa machine "reface".. what seems to be d problem? .thanks

**benchph1** · July 6th, 2003 05:18 PM

paging auto_xer , san nga address ng shop mo??

peeps lam nyo ba kung san shop ni auto_xer??

**rossph** · July 13th, 2003 09:11 PM

Hi Everyone,

Recently had my besta overhauled. Changed the piston rings and had new main and rod bearings replaced. Also had the oil pump replaced. The problem is it stalls after using it in the highway. Before I used to hear a hissing sound. The shop had the cylinder head rephased. But it still stalls. Then its a little hard to restart. It is already a smoke belcher. What do you think is the problem ?

Thanks
