Plugs should be all the same.....

Upgrade chips are now not as widely available as the newer D4D spec engines are out there.
The chip from Aussie is sooooo over priced.
I have been hunting but no luck. Its cheaper to get a manual pump made up than do the chip mod.

I went with the manuel pump so much more scope with what you can do, man it wakes these engines up

i have one too and they give the engine some serious balls. Give nathan at kiapoi repowers a call and he should be able to sort you out. As for other mods you need a bigger exhaust, exhaust gas temp gauge and a boost gauge as you need to do a bit of tuning. Best to give Nathan a call though.

Cheers
