| PRESS RELEASE |
| SAC Toyota Hilux 2.5 D4D 4x2 S/C |
| More info on the new level Hilux range 10/2/2006 | | As promised I thought that it would be a good idea to keep our visitors updated on the development around the new level Hilux range. | | The two petrol versions, 2.7VVTi and the 4.0L V6 are more tricky than we expected. | | We have done some development work on both and although we saw reasonable power gains, I thought that in the mean time we should not proactively promote the full house conversions on them. | |  | |
| On a few of the test vehicles using big valve technology we saw power outputs of around 185Kw but that’s not enough to match the new Nissan Nivara with its 194Kw. | | On the 2.7 we were able to get to around 130Kw at this stage. | | I would prefer to do some more homework and provide a complete successful solution. | | I’m sure that will be before the end of April 2006. | | | |
| The two diesel versions however are another story all together. | | The 3.0L D4D adapts extremely well to our plug and play system. | | Click here for the road test results for the Toyota New Level Hilux 3,0 D4D. | | The 2.5 D4D engine in the bakkie which is the same or similar to the engine used in the bus has been focused on for a while now and the results are fantastic. | | We have a intercooler which is custom made for the vehicle coupled to a excellent management control plug which compliments the vehicle. | | When the bonnet is opened it looks like it was built that way in the factory. | | The performance and reliability was our primary concern while developing this kit. | |  | |
| So we opted for exceptional power gains while retaining reliability in every aspect. |
| Fuel consumption is excellent and the power is enough to match the big brother 3.0L D4D. |
| The performance figures are self explanatory but keep in mind that the maximum speed was tested in 1.8 kilometers. |
| The actual top speed is in excess of 160km/h. |
| In my opinion the 2.5 D4D is a excellent choice especially when you consider that the 3.0L bakkies are not available at this stage. |
