Yeh, I found that one but I cant find any contact details there or a kit to suit the hilux? There is no phone number or e-mail that I can find.

mate just google air on board thats the company name. Heres an ebay add you might be able to contact them that way, Yes they do have 1 for the hilux http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Air-compress ... 460504b478

Revs sit on 900 rpm, with the power heat button on it runs at 1200.

Skog anybody got any suggesstions??

That's fine when it's cold but the idle up cuts out when the engines at operating temp.

Just a backward idea on the pwr heat button and using it to achieve a higher idle range for charging etc. What if you had a switch on the dash to confuse the ECU that the engine was still cold. Intercept the sensor wire for the coolant temp and have a circuit that gives a certain resistance for a cold engine?

[kyle300exc]

aaaaah the ECU isnt the only thing confused
2 guys on here have cracked the throttle control mistery, I believe there is a kit being developed after further testing

[Skog07]

I know mate, there making adjustable units. Which is pretty cool.
Just thought if you trick the engine into being cold the power heat button would still work when the engine was hot, to achieve optimum charging voltage and current..
Bugger...

Just thought I'd pipe in here (1 of the 2 who figured a idle up solution)
I won't be developing a kit, just providing the information so that others can put something together themselves. It's pretty straight forward but will require some ability to use a soldering iron.

If you want a kit I'd suggest contacting Andy666 - I don't know how his solution works but it sounded like it was going to be a fair price and possibly easier to install.

I've been testing mine for the last week and haven't had any issues but until some mail order components arrive for further testing my idle up is set at either 1000rpm or 1500rpm depending which resistor values I use. Adjustable is coming soon.

As for tricking the temp sensor, that could be opening a world of hurt as the engine needs to know the temperature for proper fueling etc. It might have the potential to damage the engine in the worst case. It would also be no easier to do then either of the mentioned idle up solutions.

Hey Steve.
I was only thinking out aloud. and not using this mod as a driving aid to hold throttle position under load only to bring up the idle for charging purposes, for showers, running compressors to pump up tyres etc etc. It probably wouldnt work anyway...My method of thought was to try and find the upper end of resistance (temperature) before the ECU disables the PWR heat button then have it on a switchable circuit under the bonnet. (If the PWR heat button is controlled by the thermocouple via the ECU??)
I popped the plug off the coolant temperature sensor tonight and put the OHM meter on it and got 0.40 Ohm off it on a cold motor, will warm it up to operating temp and see what the resistance value is then...

New thread for discussion about the high idle kit and expressions of interest for a group buy if anyone is interested.

Just going over this thread again as now with the idle up kit from Andy it will increase the rpm for a on board compressor. Thinking of modifying a compressor and make up a bracket as was done by ..matmimjack myself when it was suggested to tap into the existing compressor for the aircon and run it to fill a holding tank.
Is this possible?

They got back to me and at this stage they dont do a kit for the 2012 diesel hilux.

Just thinking aloud, has anybody seen a 4wd with a air operated winch, a A/C commpressor should have enougth grunt, so it should be plausable and it would be better than a electric winch with a better duty cycle and an option considering we can't have a PTO winch in our luxes.

[andy666]

why cant we have a pto winch?

[Bullzye]

I was told by a couple of people that pto can't be added to our gearboxes, i could be wrong but i'm pretty sure they just can't fit.

There is no PTO plate on current model T-case, you could use an older/another tcase.
Air winches are ok, why not run hydraulic, i have a TJM OX winch, good, a lil slow, but psc does a 1200 series conversion,

that brings the speed right up

this is for the v6 guys out there, have a look if your after an endless air

[packeteer]

just to throw a different idea out there...

I'm a diver, as such I have a large supply of air (typically 1000L or more). Making use of it just requires the correct fitting. I recently bought a tyre inflation fitting ($10), so now airing up should be fast and easy

Do you have any contact details or web address for the parts for the Air-On-Board systems? Thanks, regards Tony.
