รีวิว Q&A isuzu faster
Have you ever bought a car that didn't run and found that it was an easy fix?
Yes, both cars and motorcycles. I bought an 87 Mitsubishi Montero that “barely ran” or “ran bad” as a mechanics special. It had… a lot of fuel delivery problems. Instead of tackling them, I ripped out the factory carburetor and its maze-like vaccuum system and replaced it all with a simple double-barrel Webber via a cheap eBay adapter. I also replaced the failing mechanical fuel pump with an electric one. All of this took less than two hours and the thing ran great for years. I can't say enough nice things about those cheap webber conversions for making a vehicle go again (but they are not street legal in all areas). I have multiple motorcycle stories about a bike that “barely ran” and only needed its carbs cleaned in a bucket of kerosene. Right now I'm tinkering with a 4x4 Chevy Luv (Isuzu Faster) that has “weird” electrical problems. The only weird thing about the electrics is the idiotic use of tiny gauge speaker wire and gobs of electrical tape under the hood. Replacing that mess cost almost nothing and the truck seems fine. In all these cases, the vehicles were had for little money and fixed with little trouble. People are afraid to do their own maintenance.
Why we use spherical cavity on piston head rather than a flat surface?
The piston has a bowl in its crown. As the piston approaches the top of the cylinder the rotating air is forced into the piston bowl. The rotational force is magnified by the reduced diameter of the piston bowl. Thin, deep bowls have a higher swirl rate. At the same time air squish is initiated as the air is forced from above the piston crown in towards the centre of the piston. The squish forces meet at the centre of the cylinder and oppose each other being forced downwards into the bowl where they follow the bowl profile being led into a horizontal swirl. Simple bowl showing squish action - also described as torodial. In order for the fuel and air to mix the fuel injection is set to spray against the wall of the piston bowl. The drag created by this contact stops the combusting fuel spray being dragged with the swirl and allows the fuel to contact with fresh oxygen. With thin bowls the spray does not have to penetrate as far to reach the combustion chamber wall so a wider more fine injection can be utilised that will mix more readily with the fuel. With the quickest engines large air movement is required to give a fast mix. The fuel spray has to be more penetrating to overcome the increased air forces and the injection event rate is increased so that the fuel charge is swiftly delivered and has longer to mix and combust. A trick used by several engine manufacturers is to give the bowl a lip to prevent the air squish motion pushing fuel above the piston crown, so that the majority of the fuel charge is mixed and burnt within the bowl. The lip also creates further micro turbulence within the bowl. To summarize I would presume:- Quick injection rate gives more time for the oil to begin to combust. Chamber shapes that create greater micro turbulence - the Isuzu square chamber would appear superior in this respect - should provide better fuel air mixing and faster combustion. and faster combustion means higer output from the same quantity of fuel. so increased efficiency.
Which is the most legendary car ever?
23 years gone but, The McLaren F1 remains one of the fastest production cars ever made (,infact, it is still the fastest naturally aspirated car *like a boss*,). It is succeeded by very few cars, like Koenigsegg Agera R, Bugatti Veyron, SSC Ultimate Aero TT, Hennessey Venom GT and Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. However, all of the higher top speed machines use forced induction to reach their respective top speeds, whereas the McLaren F1 is ,naturally aspirated,. The McLaren F1 is considered one of the greatest supercars of all time. It's quirky, driver-focused and fast. With a ,top speed of 391.23 km/h (243 mph),, central driving position and complete ,carbon fiber reinforced plastic monocoque chassis (which was used for the first time ever in a car), structure set it apart from all other production road cars when it was released in 1992 and stills manages to stand tall in the crowd of almost cookie-cutter supercars today. (,yes, it's an absolute looker, just look at that thing ,*,10m, ,jaw drop,*) It's stunning ,BMW-sourced 6.1-liter 60-degree V12, featured an aluminum block and heads with an 86mm x 87mm bore/stroke, quad-overhead camshafts controlling four valves per-cylinder and a dry sump oil system. The bespoke engine was officially designated the BMW S70/2 and weighed in at 586 lbs while producing, 627 horsepower at 7400 rpm and 480 lb-ft of torque at 5600 rpm (,and not to forget the eargasmic soundtrack,),. This same engine was used to power the BMW V12 LMR prototypes from 1998 to 2000. ^^ A view that was quite familiar to other supercars back then, even today!! (if you know what I mean :-P ) The car in the picture above is actually the ,McLaren F1 LM, is a track oriented edition of the McLaren F1 and LM stands for Le Mans. NOW SOME FUN FACTS ABOUT MCLAREN F1: Fun Fact #1:, The carbon fibre body panels and monocoque required significant heat insulation in the engine compartment, so Murray's solution was to line the engine bay with a highly efficient heat-reflector: ,gold, foil. ,Approximately 16 g (0.8 ounce) of gold was used in each car. Fun Fact #2: ,Instead of two seats, the ,F1 placed the driver in the middle,, with two outboard seats placed on either side and further back. Fun Fact #3:, ,The McLaren F1 is still one of the fastest car around Nurburgring with an astonishing lap time of 7:11,, which is faster than Dodge Viper ACR, Lexus LFA, Nissan GT-R, Lamborghini Aventador and even the legendary Ferrari Enzo. *_* Fun Fact #4,: ,Those rear lights come from an italian bus!! ,(yep, it's hard to believe but true) Fun Fact #5: ,The last one of about 100 which was built from 1992 to 1994 was, sold for $11 million,. Fun Fact #6:, A routine oil change service ,costs about $8,000,, and annual running costs are estimated by McLaren to be about ,$30,000 per year. Fun Fact #7:, Many famous car collectors and celebrities own the McLaren F1. For example: ,Jay Leno, Ralph Lauren, Sultan of Brunei ,(owns 8 of them, yes 8),, Rowan Atkinson, Nick Mason, Eric Clapton and many others. Here are some performance figures of this amazing car: 0–30 mph (48 km/h): 1.8 s 0–60 mph (97 km/h): 3.2 s (,that's faster than most of the recent supercars,) 0–120 mph (193 km/h): 9.2 s 0–200 mph (322 km/h): 28 s 0–400 m (0.25 mi): 11.045 s at 138 mph (222 km/h) 0–1,000 m (0.62 mi): 19.548 s at 276.41 km/h (171.75 mph) Braking and handling 30–0 mph (48–0 km/h): 9.7 m / 31.83 ft 70–0 mph (112–0 km/h): 49 m / 162 ft Skidpad Lateral Acceleration: 1.2–1.3g Bonus Fun Fact,: A little known fact from the developmental story was that the famous BMW V12 may not have actually powered the McLaren F1, instead Murray looked to both Honda and then Isuzu to power his new supercar. (,thank god, they didn't,) I think, I have given enough reasons why Mclaren F1 is the most legendary car ever.
Why are front-wheel drive cars more common than rear-wheel drives today? At one time, pretty much all cars were rear-wheel drive.
Every answer I have read so far is wrong. The simple answer is it makes them more MONEY! I worked in the Automotive industry for over a decade and left the industry due to the poor quality of new cars and the inability to work on them. The main if only reason anything in industry changes like in the late 70's to early 80′s the change from a predominant rear wheel drive to front wheel drive vehicle is cost. It is far faster and requires a couple of less major components to build a front wheel drive car. You lose a differential assembly and tail shaft, then with the ease to combine it all with an engine assembly on the under frame of a vehicle it is faster to assemble. No cars are easy to pull apart these days due to shocking designs and assemblies only in mind. If front wheel drive was so much better then even heavy vehicles like trucks and buses would be front wheel drive as well. I have raced, driven (in all weather conditions) and worked on all types of cars and they all have there good and bad points but I am not one for newer vehicles. They are tinny, electronics are extremely expensive for what they are and they are no where near environmentally friendly as the are not feasibly repairable and to many are produced differently every year without interchangeable parts, and once damage are almost always written off due to the difficulty of repair and costs of replacement parts. Rear wheel drive vehicles are still preferred by drivers but with so little option the excuse by manufacturers is they don’t sell as most manufacturers only make their small to medium sized cars in front wheel drive again to make more money. People who say that front wheel drive vehicles are easier to drive in all conditions have not driven many rear wheel drive vehicles. I live in Australia and most would only believe that Australia is flat and brown. You couldn't be more wrong. We have the great dividing mountain range that runs over 4000kms down the east coast and turns to the west with a massive difference in weather and conditions. In the north is wet tropics and rainforests fryer central region to more snow cover than Switzerland in the south east. Dry sandy lands in the centre and to the west. The only thing Australia has not got is cold tundras. Driving front wheel drive vehicles in slippery conditions requires a different driving style than rear wheel drive, but over 20 years of driving in all different conditions, rear wheel drive vehicles perform better. On sealed roads rear wheel drive allows better stability but rear traction can be effected by a heavy right foot, but front wheel drive vehicles get “torque steer” alot even with LSD's and electronic controls. You can tow far better with a rear wheel drive as the load pushes on the rear wheels and tow ball but balance of the trailer is important but a front wheel drive requires the trailer to be slightly rear heavy due to the drive being at the front but that takes the load up off the tow ball. On unsealed roads rear wheel drive vehicles perform better due to the ability to control both ends of the vehicle between throttle control and steering. One thing that you are unable to do with a standard front wheel drive. I will say this for front wheel drive vehicles in rally racing they are a lot faster through the corner than rear wheel drives but I have found stability to be a little worse as you have to trade either handling for balance or stability for steering. But with all the pros and cons of the different drive types the main if only reason cars are front wheel drive is because it makes the manufacturer more money. If rear wheel drive was cheaper then more cars would be rear wheel drive. If it was harder to assemble a rear wheel drive but cheaper to produce, rear wheel drive vehicles would not have been reduced. We all have our own choice and preference for me a rear wheel drive is my preference but a proper four wheel drive would be more preferable as I do own a Isuzu Rodeo utility which in standard road driving is in rear wheel drive most often. Simply front wheel drive vehicles cost less to manufacture and that is why there are far more front wheel drive vehicles today.
What’s a vehicle that you bought or rented for a long trip that turned out to be the worst vehicle you ever have driven in your life?
Once on travel during my younger years (I was still under 25 years old, and 25 was some magic age threshold for car rentals back then)… I was on a 10 week trip. For only $5 extra over car allotment per week (so I had to pay $5 out of pocket) I had some Cadillac model car. While stopped at a intersection waiting for a chance to merge right, I got rear ended by someone no paying attention. Not my fault in the least. So having a car that’s been involved in an accident (minor damage to the rear end), I took the car back in to get it swapped out. What happened next blew me away. They immediately re-rented it to another customer (no repairs) and gave me a K Car. Yeah, what’s a K Car? A pile of garbage, especially if one is used to driving a Cadillac right before being given a pile of garbage to drive. Ugly, didn’t drive very comfortably, and I was pissed because they didn’t give me another Cadillac (because I was under 25 and supposedly wasn’t supposed to be rented one in the first place). Maybe I’m being too hard on K Cars, but it just sucked. Oh, then I just remembered the Isuzu I rented while at St. Thomas. Back then they had a lot of commercials highlighted by “Joe Isuzu” - he was hilarious: Famous quotes include these: "You have my word on it." "If I'm lying, may lightning hit my mother." ("Good luck, Mom!" appears on screen.) "It has more seats than the ,Astrodome,!" "Hi, I'm Joe Isuzu and I used my new Isuzu pickup truck to carry a 2,000-pound cheeseburger." "The ,Isuzu Impulse,: faster than a speeding—[catches a bullet in his teeth]—well, you know." "I swear on my mother's grave the quality of this Isuzu!" ,cell phone rings, "Hello? Oh, hi Mom!" "Isuzu Trooper II, can hold the whole state of Texas!" (78.2 cubic feet of it, stated on the bottom of the screen) Boy, was that thing a piece of crap. Worse than the K-Car, but I only rented it for a couple days.
Which car should I buy, the Mahindra Scorpio or the Isuzu V Cross?
For all obvious reasons, the Isuzu V Cross is the one to go for when compared to Mahindra Scorpio. Let me first compare the on-road aspects: Not only is the Scorpio a very old vehicle now, it isn't the best when it comes to ergonomics, handling, ride quality and high-speed dynamics. The V Cross offers a more car-like, if I may say, experience behind the wheel. Its high speed stability and dynamics aren't the best out there but definitely much better than that of the Scorpio. The Isuzu has a distinct appeal and more road presence because this body style isn't very common in India. When it comes to carrying stuff from one place to another (farm equipment etc.), the V Cross clearly trumps the Scorpio because of its practical loading bay. However, the Scorpio trumps the V Cross when it comes to service network, seating capacity and weather protection. It will also be slightly more fuel efficient than the V Cross. In terms of off-road aspects: The Isuzu has a very long wheelbase which makes it unsuitable for hardcore offroading unless you go for taller tyres or a complete suspension upgrade. However, when it comes to tackling ruts, mud, slush or uphill slopes, the V Cross comes into its own and clears almost all obstacles that a Scorpio would be able to do. The Scorpio has a tight wheelbase and is less likely to get beached while offroading. When we are talking of off-roading, after-sales also comes into picture as untimely part replacements and faster wear & tear of parts are bound to take place. For non-hardcore offroaders, I would rate the Isuzu above the Scorpio. But when it comes to serious off-roading, the Scorpio still has an edge over Isuzu. On the road, Scorpio is clearly more suitable for carrying people. For all other purposes, Isuzu performs better. I would also rate both of them equally in terms of reliability. While the Scorpio isn't as robust, it is very abuse friendly and maintenance is also not a hassle. Similarly, while the maintenance and resale aspect of V Cross is questionable, it is more robust and reliable at the end of the day. You'll have to take a call by test driving both the vehicles back-to-back and evaluating how they perform for the purpose you wish to purchase them for. Again, I would say, it would be a very difficult choice. If you are not into serious offroading and stuff, I would also suggest checking out the XUV500 and Tata Hexa. Thank you.
What would happen if you immediately drove off without warming up the car's engine?
That's what you are SUPPOSED to do. Modern multi grade oils flow very well when cold so lubrication is no problem. Driving off straight away (with a light throttle foot please) ensures that the engine is running cold for the minimum time - burning fuel when driving warns the engine MUCH faster than idling. This has always been the case for most engines, even though many years ago the single viscosity oils did not flow as easily when cold. Have a read of any old air cooled VW beetle Owners Manual. They ALL say "drive off immediately after starting, do not idle the engine to warm it up". Apart from getting the engines warmed up faster, it also matched the engine warning with the auto-choke slowly opening up. If you idled it, the engine would still be rather cold when the choke has opened up, so the engine would run rough for a mile or two. Driving off straight away also got some heat into the exhaust heat riser under the carburettor, which prevented icing in the inlet manifold on cold mornings. That's just one example. I own a diesel Isuzu Ute (pickup) and also drive heavy trucks. Even in the heavy trucks, the engine is idled only long enough to get the brake air pressure up so the truck will move, and off we go (as I said, with a light throttle foot at first). Since big truck engines usually have 40–60 litres of oil in the sump, you'd have to idle the engine for 20–30 minutes to get any significant heat into it.
What is the best CJ Jeep to buy?
Considering how simply built and light these cars were, they were also surprisingly thirsty and troublesome. My choice would be a CJ7 hardtop with the 145 cu in (2.4 L) Isuzu Diesel C240 and a four or five speed manual transmission. That should tame its appetite, and reduce the number of visits to the jeep doctor. It wouldn’t matter that that engine is not very powerful, because these cars aren’t to be driven fast. And off road, a diesel will simply be better. It also wouldn’t matter that we wouldn’t be hearing a V8 growl, but a 4 cylinder diesel rattle, because the road- and wind noise in the vehicles is so strong that you won’t hear that diesel upwards of 40 mph anymore anyway. Not that you’d really want to go much faster than that in one. And then you’d have a lovely character car that can be driven daily, even in cold climates, with the hardtop.
What is the easiest fix you've encountered from a customer’s car having something "wrong"?
Most of my easiest fixes were for friends or family rather than paying customers, but that still counts right? Sister's high school friend had a 90s Buick that had a bunch of issues she kept taking it into the shop for and they couldn't fix them without charging for significant testing, which is both understandable, and a little ridiculous at the same time, especially for how easily I fixed everything. Her power door locks and passenger window didn't work, along with something with the radiator. Just for the heck of it I ask for the details, pull out my Leatherman, and hop in the car. 5 minutes, 2 fuses, and a connector adjustment later all the electrical issues were solved. She was a rather simple sort, so the level of astonishment and glee she exhibited was highly entertaining. Just this morning I dug into my future mother-in-law's Subaru Legacy to try and find why her fuel economy has dropped by a good 30% and she occasionally smells gas. Fired it up, looked around, suddenly the front passenger corner of the engine is getting wet. The clamp on one of the fuel lines had come loose. Out comes the leatherman again, a couple turns, bam. Problem solved. As for an actual customer, late 90s Chrysler Town and Country is throwing transmission codes and acting up. Spent some time with the multimeter checking solenoids, connections, etc. Finally I unbolt the transmission plug and look closely, lo and behold, the individual connectors inside were loose. A few minutes with a probe bending them back into position, bolt it back on, no more transmission problems. They thought they needed a transmission rebuild but all the ended up paying for was an hour of diagnostics. Was a good day for both of us. Final story I have is from my boss's truck during the same time as the Chrysler. 1991 Chevy S10 4.3 vortec. Was a replacement motor that always ran a little rough, and occasionally died for no apparent reason. My boss had replaced every sensor on it, tried multiple chips and replacement ECU's. Out comes the multimeter, I go through checking all the sensors and connections, end up putting about half of the old sensors back on because they were reporting more accurately. Oh, and then I pulled 2 of the engine grounds off, wire-wheeled everything, and bolted it back together. Purred like a kitten. Boss had spent hundreds of dollars on top of the replacement engine, and all he needed was 2 minutes of elbow grease and a shot of PB Blaster. -Bonus story Remembered another one. As you may have figured out from the last story, my boss at the time was a bit more of a parts replacer than a true mechanic, let alone proper technician. One of the first transmission rebuilds we did after I was hired was the 4L30E in an old Isuzu Trooper. We finished putting it back together, fired it up, and took it for a test drive. It tried to start in 3rd gear. Every time. He tries rebuilding the valve body again, replacing all the electronics, the valve body harness, you name it. Finally he gets fed up and tells me to figure it out. As the kid still in college working on an associate's in Automotive Tech, I assumed the transmission guy knew what he was doing (oops), and spent a week solid tracing wires in my spare time looking for an electrical issue outside the transmission that could be causing this problem, and assuming it would be what tore up the trans in the first place. Finally exhausted everything I could come up with, and found myself looking at this page in the transmission book: If you understand that chart, you may have already figured out why I started to doubt my assumption that the builder knew what he was doing. Before I shared my new idea, I put the trooper on the lift and free-wheeled it up to a decent speed. Started in 3rd, shifted to 4th, shifted to… 1st? Lightbulb. The solenoids look identical, but one is normally open, the other is normally closed. The way to tell them apart is the light tin puzzle piece they have that fits into the valve body. Problem is, if you give it a good push they'll go into the wrong slot rather easily. Pulled one out and surprise, mangled tin. Reversed them and voila, the vehicle worked great. And I learned one of the most important lessons in my automotive career, NEVER just assume the guy who rebuilt something you're replacing knew what he was doing. I'd have found the problem a lot faster if I hadn't crossed incompetence off my list of possible causes.
Why is my Isuzu diesel engine throwing water out of the radiator? We recently replaced the head gasket and removed the thermostat. Head gasket is new and properly installed. The cylinder head has also been repaired.
It is hard to tell with what little information you have given. I have seen brand new head-gaskets fail because people didn’t make sure the mating surfaces were flat and a couple instances where bits of the old head-gasket were left behind due to shoddy workmanship. You can easily determine if it is exhaust by testing the gasses in the radiator for combustion byproducts. Keep in mind that a defective head or a cracked head or block can also cause compression to leave the cylinder and go into the cooling system. Doing a compression check should identify the culprit cylinder(s). This is assuming you replaced the thermostat with a new one. Water will naturally flow faster through the system without a thermostat.
