Hot side / Cold Side = They both should be kept to an absolute minimum. Work off 4x radius of the bend as increase in pipelength through a bend. Hot side can be larger in diameter than cold side due to the expanded and faster flowing nature of hot air. Cold side should be 1/4 - 1/2" Smaller for...

Sorry mate, it is what it is. Call around if you like. The first quote I ever got for one I just about fell over to. I called every shop I could think of (that do VP pumps) and they were all within $100 of each other. You can extend the life of the pump by changing the fuel filter regularly...

The whole lot sounds a bit weird. Was the cause pinging noise determined in the end? Possible causes Injector leak, valve touching piston, lifters, incorrect timing etc... Ive not seen any turbo fail without some sort of reason, be it oil starvation or quality. Or, foreign objects being drawn...

Thats about the cost for a full IP rebuild on the VP44 pumps. Depending on what needs replacing generally, but if the electronics are fried they cannot be repaired, only replaced.

Does it do it with the chip removed?

I do them for $1695 fitted and tuned as a basic package. Add $100 for multiple maps (up to 5) On a few occasions I have also setup a 3 port electronic boost control solenoid that is run by the unichip also. Best part of a setup like that is with your 3 maps, you can have 3 completely different...

Maybe in the future Dave :) Its hard to keep quality control at a high level when you start expanding into multiple shops etc.. Especially when it comes to tuning.

No need to apologise Brendan. I appreciate the input we get from all the forums we attend. You would be surprised at the large number of D22 owners that have, and new owners that continue to buy the kits though. They are not in everyone's price range, nor could we hope to satisfy every D22...

Pump seals could be dead from the ULP. I have had a customer do the same thing. They drove the car I would say 150km's maybe more before it died. As they were on a tight budget they wanted to see if it would run after putting diesel through it, So I drained refilled etc... and it ran fine :0...

Sorry Patt, $1650 for the kit. They arent built to a price like alot of the kits out there these days, they are built as all of our products are, to achieve the best possible result, not the cheapest retail price. We use ZERO chinese or thailand copy components in our kit, thus it is more...

If people are very concerned about this extremely marginal difference, you could always have the pipes HPC coated for around $400.. Or Ceramic tape is around $100 per roll from Merlyn Industries. So after wrapping the inlet pipe, the entire intake manifold is still stinking hot as its bolted...

Do you drive the car at idle suffering heatsoak? Thats just twisting the tests, to favour one possible outcome. I test it in real world conditions. Bonnet shut, between 45 and 60kph air speed and from 10% to 100% load. There simply isnt enough surface area contact to make a considerable...

They do monitor egr flow. Limiting it would be the only option so far.

There is no ADR regarding bullbars and airbags. All just a big bunch of hype. There is recommendations regarding it, but nothing is enforced.

Check the EFI and ECU fuses. I would say you have either wired it up wrong or the instructions are not right between the models. As the ZD30's run the VP44 pump, its not just a simple plugin as the DP has to control the spill valve which is high voltage. If you have damaged the spill valve in...

Tweak'e - Im all ears. Show me some evidence to back up what your making up regarding the top connection? Im not saying it is 100% ideal, but it works. I have proven it both on the D22 cooler kit, the 1000hp+ luxy and alot of other cooler kits we have done. They are my evidence and proof that...

Have already fitted snorkels and long range fuel tanks to the 550's now. Significant difference in the chassis design for the tanks! Easy enough to work around though. And as for the snorkel! I hope safari come out with a bolt in kit soon. As much as I love bespoke work its just hard to keep up...

Just to clear it up then. Why? How many cars should I post with this type of intercooler inlet that work? The hilux below makes 1050hp at the engine. 820hp+ At the wheels through a powerglide auto... with the power still going vertical once it smoked the tyres on the rollers. Look at the...

The air heating up again (as you say) is not because of ambient heat which will give less than a 5% increase in intake temp over that kind of pipe length. Its because the cheap chinese cores dont have enough, or the right kind of turbulators in the charge air passages to do a good job in...
