Power bug had now bitten, so Injectors, Turbo and intercooler where all organised and installed with weeks, with the next tuning session achieving this
Very happy, but being let down by a slipping clutch and it seems when you double the factory power output the snorkel seems to become a restriction haha. Going to get an NPC clutch with a bigger flywheel installed and see what I can do about this snorkel, I really want to hit around 240HP at the wheels.
I was previously running a CHIP IT module. The power output was great (so it seemed at the time), but it ramped up the fuel pressure hugely, so much in fact the injectors sounded like they were hitting the bonnet!. Within a few months the whole module just died, constantly throwing up error codes and sending the car into limp mode. I bought it 2nd hand and chipit had already gone bust so it was an expensive paperweight.
Either way that led me to going with the HKS, and even just the original HKS tune before turbo/injectors/intercooler made more power but much more smoothly
I would like to thank the following though for their help
Matt from Just Autos, whilst I have occasionally cursed his name when checking my bank balance
he is a true pioneer when it comes to Diesel performance, doesn't compromise tune safety just to get a power figure and simply all round top bloke. Will be getting him to install the NPC clutch in a few months as I know it will be done perfect!
Matt from Baileys Diesel - First went to him for injectors about 18 months ago and will now never look anywhere else for Diesel fuel system components. I must have driven the poor bastard mad with my constant questions lol
When Bailey's brought out there new high flow injectors I got one of the very first sets, and they work fantastic with the new turbo.
Gturbos - What can I say? You want an awesome turbo for your Hilux, then give them a call. I had no issues whatsoever installing his bolt on core (well... aside from my own stupidness when getting my original turbo out
)
