Hi,

I have a 2003 Hilux Dual cab which i regularly carry a load this seems to have affected my fuel economy. Unloaded I was regularly getting 10ks to a litre, now loaded up I am getting around 8.3 ks per litre (12l per 100k).

It runs nicely / smooth and I do not anticipate any mechanical issues are affecting the truck at present such as injectors or fuel pump, given that it has only 70,000ks on the clock 80% of which has been leisurly highway cruising. More likely just the extra weight needs more juice to push it around......

Just wondering if anyone has fitted a intercooler to Hilux 1kzte engine? If so who supplied the unit, how much, and what was the resulting effect on power output and or fuel consumption.

I am having AG diesel in clayton Dyno the truck to check if it is achieving factory rated outputs and or hopefully identify any pre existing issues before making a decision to intercool, or perform any other upgrades.

Any other ideas comments are welcome and appreciated.....

Zep..
