FMIC is a great idea. To be honest I didn't even look into what those do or where they come from or where they go. Being as the tb isn't used anymore I connected then back up as per factory as I couldn't be bothered investigating into it haha.

Gains are all we want

This isnt my first rodeo mate. I've thought long and hard on how it needs to be done. The manifoldS ID is pretty much 50mm so extending that the short distance to the intercooler makes perfect sence. As for bell mouth they are designed to promote larger air flow. Hence why they are used on intake ...

No ways mate cylibder 1,2 get a much much more direct flow then before cylinder 3,4 will be about the same. These is not enough room to enlarge it and diesel Manifold design is not the same as on a petrol engine. Diesels are limited by fuel input where as on petrols they are limited by air input ...

From my readings on ARE.com.au diesels don't need a large plenum. In fact the increase wouldn't be worth the effort.

She's alive again. Marvel in her awesomeness! http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c379/4CD02/F79EF86E-F97F-4244-8F8D-E5869F8C5880-917-0000016E7BC829DC_zps39f9f184.jpg I removed the throttle butterfly but to save some u just cleaned up the throttle body and mounted it back in its original spot to ...

I have yes. They basically said it wasn't worth the trouble but if you can do yourself go nuts. but with my intercooler behind my this seemed the most logical way to do it. Front facing plenum style but back wards.

Well as usual I can't leave anything along. I pulled my rear engine panel off to check up on how the dump pipe is holding up being as I've done about 2000k with it so far. No signs of any stress on welds etc. it did spit the gasket out so I've welded on a vband flange for simplicity. http://i31 ...

Yeah the water to air setup would way better then those top mount ones. Intake modification and egr port fill and reshape $250 shipped on
exchange bases or $300 supplied

Mate if mine got me to make a few bits for his kzn130 surf. Bear in mind I have some finishing to do on both items tomorrow. Custom replacenent dump pipe and a bit of a mod to the intake manifold to try get better flow to cylinder 1 & 2. With the dump pipe it may look bigger But It is but it barely ...

Yeah I've starred to look at water/meth injection that and doing some mods to the intake manifold to get better flow to cylinder 1 & 2. As ive seen on are.com.au. when some spare cash come along I'm also going to make a custom equal(ish) length exhuast manifold

That is Van design dude Please refrain from limiting my fabrication ability with your comments. Till me there isn't much room which means there is room just not enough for you to make anything in.

First mods. New air and fuel filter. Block off egr system a must and not as complicated as they are making it out to be. Performance dump pipe (pm me) and egt after that mods become more involved.

Get the stock item rebuilt and hi flowed by Steve Murch. He's a turbo genius.

My van has never been very economical to use but wow since all these mods I've just done a fuel economy test. I put in 50 bucks diesel or 33.3L after running the van to the point I was sure it was about to stop on me it was so empty. I'm sitting in a gas station now amazed I made it too the pump and ...

Guys have a look at Gopro cameras. Can take up to 32gb cards recorded in 1080 hd and can have an external power supply.

Did the dump pipe change exhaust note (sound) at all?

Na man not dirty diesel. Mighty 1kz. I love fabricating parts so try get creative

Well dump pipe is finished and installed and all I can say is the difference is as big if not bigger then when I did the intercooler. Best thing I could have made for it. Such a beautiful van to drive now.

There is always room to fit parts. The Hiace one just squeezes into the space available and is more complex then it needed to be as I wanted it to be a direct bolt in item. Toyotas design has very little to do with available space but cost effectiveness. Order dump pipes and ill produce bolt in ...

Most of those flow calculations go flying out the window when you strap a turbo onto a motor as its no longer the motor pumping air through it but the turbo forcing it down its throat and out it's bum. I can't really help with any formulas or references but if you want I'd suggest talking to a guy ...

I use stainless over steel as I can source them cheaper then the mild steel bends. I'm using very high grade thick wall stainless bends with wall thickness of 2.77mm and up depending on pipe size. This is not cheap Chinese made stainless. These bends are used wildly around NZ to build very high ...

Hi guys. The van is still going strong just. I can't believe the difference in performance and fuel economy since the head replacement. We just had round 3 of d1nz at bay park in Tauranga. It managed to tow my silvia trailer 10 17" rims and tires plus all oh tools etc there on only half a tank. Was ...

The water pump probably is a bit big but I had it laying around the garage so in she went. As with the dif I'd love a LSD but their prices are to high to justify on a road vehicle

My van is an auto yes. That is just the intercooler the whole system includes a 30l water tank (for extra capacity on long tow trips) water is pumped round the sytem by A Davies Craig 115lpm electric water pump with the heat exchanger is a modified alloy Honda civic radiator mounted in the grill up ...

Well she is alive! And running with only days to spare. I took her out for a quick 60k run. There is definitely a noticeable difference with all the port work. Pulling off the line is much stronger then before if Turning out into T juntion it will light up the inside wheel much more then before ...

I've looked through my profile edit but can't see where to put my location. I am in Auckland tho. As for the water to air i/cs position. Well there wasn't room anywhere to put it so I had to make room behind the head and on top of the bell housing. Lucky for me there is a large removable panel which ...

Hi guys and I'm sure gals. I dont have a 4x4 but there dosnt seem to be any decent diesel based forums around so i guess your stuck with me. I do however have a hiace super custom with the mighty 1kz motor. Which decided recently to crack its head so being so involved in drifting in nz with our ...

Im currently waiting on some 10mm stainless flanges to be laser cut, should be in the next day or so. i hope! as i need my van running again for tow dutys monday. At the moment I'd expect a price of 350 ish to make them. I know almost all chassis have different shaped dump pipes so will just be a ...

I can make a basic log style manifold from thick wall stainless steel for a reasonable price

I don't have a 4x4 I have a super custom van with a 1kz. I currently building a thick wall stainless steel steam pipe dump pipe with separated waste gate plumbing. If your interested and if you like my finished item. I'm actually looking and producing factory replacement dump pipes for the 1kz ...
