So i finally got a 2004 kzte. It feels way better than the 2.8 3l. I've had it for 6mts now and no problems.
I've heard about installing a chip, intercooler and exhaust upgrades. I would like to install a chip to get a little more power.
Which chip do you guys recommend? Does the chip have to be programmed according to other mods? Is there a better air filter or complete intake system for the kzte? Should the complete exhaust be replaced or just the dump pipe?
Sorry for all the questions, i just want to get it right.
Paul.

Hi Paul
1.I just installed an intercooler,chip and freeflow on my KZ after owning her for almost 3 years. http://hilux4x4.co.za/views/viewtopic.p ... 7&start=30" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I can really tel you that for me it was worth every cent.
2.In my opinion , don't touch the air filter . If you want to do something, install a snorkel, it wont do anything for performance but it will keep a lot of dust out of the air filter box.
3.If you only do the chip and inter cooler first, then "yes" you'll have to reprogram the chip when you fit a free flow.

Re: Kzte upgrades
hi Paul,
First thing to do is get rid of the silencer in the exhaust system - it just sucks the power.
Second, get a nice, big exhaust(atleatse 63mm) installed.
Then the airbox mod and snorkel.
Now you will be ready for a intercooler and chip!

Re: Kzte upgrades
Ek het SAC opgesit so 2 maande nadat ek die 2005 KZTE gekoop het. Ek kon die verskil in alle opsigte voel: Krag van 72kW na 109.9kW en wringkrag van 269 na 369Nm. Die eerste toetslesing is in April 2005 (met installering) en laaste toets Feb 2012 (ongeveer 130k km op die klok).
