My 2.5L Dmax Trailblazer
- Thread starter sweetdiesel
- Start date
It runs great! I am very happy with it. No DPF crap.
I will start tuning it with EFI in the next few days
Mine is a fully loaded 2X4 - the rear entertainment Pkg.
I really only spend about 5 months a year at home in Thailand as ive been working all over. Last year I was in Africa, Indonesia, Brunei, Malaysia and Australia working.
My GF drives the blazer more than I do, I usually just get on my motor bike as its easier to get through the traffic here.
This is the first new vehicle I bought that remained virtually stock for over a year now.
I bought it and tinted the windows added a dash cam BlackVue 650 and that was it!
Ive been busy with getting my home setup, but houses don't have horse power
I only realized that I can actually tune this ECM with EFI a few days ago, I was under the impression it was a different ECM and not the E98. I grabbed the lap top installed EFI updated my ancient version on the V2 and read the stock ECM & TCM files:coolspot:
I plan to take it to the track and get a base line for it, mean while I will start playing with the tuning. I do plan on twinning the turbo system at some point but that's as far as I will go! ( who am I kidding ).
I imagine they will start selling these in North America. I understand they are built here and probably see how they sell, but there is a lot of these on the roads here.

Mitch they are after market forged pistons, H beam rods and apperantly a stronger crank. It also comes with with wriat pins, clips and bearings. I purchased them here in thailand but they come out of Japan. The company seems ok.
