Gotta admit...first couple hundred miles
mileage was substantially less

The PeacePipe final resting place. This is the adapter manifold that replaces the 1FZ Oil Sender and makes a new home for the new OEM pressure sender(which I include), an aftermarket oil temp sender (which I include), and the oil pressure turbo feed line. There it is in all its glory. The oil feed hose would be on it but I decided to shorten it 2” because I wanted a cleaner looking sweep. I can’t leave good enough alone

My MPG actually went up a little bit as I do most of my driving in the mountains and the turbo makes the long 2nd gear 4500rpm pulls unnecessary. Around town, MPG is the same as long as your driving habits remain more or less the same (i.e. not hooning around like a teenager). Keep in mind, this setup does not modify the stock fuel delivery in any way. The miles/$ did go down from running high octane.

I just did this "supporting" mod and added the LRA 24 aux tank. Install was
and a half with a 4x4 labs rear. Only because it required some fabing and welding up a new bracket to hold the rear of the tank. I also combined the mod with a AirLift and wireless compressor to combat sag!My foot is always in it and I average 10MPG and roll about 80+ fwy. I get about 8-9mpg in deep snow or technical trails. I figure I will need the extra gas because with any vehicle I drive; I always drive it like I stole it. If you see a Prius rolling 90mph down the freeway that's probably me driving the wife's car. =)
ARB Front + warn 8k, Iron pig Xmember, Sliders, Gobi Rack, 35s, 4x4 rear tire + 3can swing, DIY dual drawers out of 1/2 ply, ARB Elements 63qt Fridge + ARB Slide, loaded with front/rear spare axles and birfs and spare parts and full set of tools + elect impacts. She's a heavy PIG!
Edit: She's a heavy SLOW PIG! Soon to be a heavy FASTER PIG!

Are you going to sell this adapter ?
I think I ask this question before .. and you said yes, not sure if that have changed .. if not I will be interested ( pretty sure not the only one ) in buy it .. of aftermarket oil pressure and oil temp gauges.

For you yes. Otherwise thru the kit only for now.

I've been getting a few PMs about instructions. I PROMISE there WILL be instructions. I don't have a choice its part of the CARB process.
Here is a sample page set (the red numbered circles denotes the included part item):

Still no intercooler
If you swap those cans out for any "ice" beer variety the intake temps will be drastically reduced. The engine will also buzz a little harder.

Oh and for those doing this glorious mod and still need to change out your fuel filter, I’m now stocking ours and the other cruisers.

So I was asked on Facebook about how the Oil PeacePipe affects the factory oil sender and if the oil sender functions correctly upside down. Figured I’d post here as well:
You can think of the engine oil system as a pressurized tank with a bunch of leaks. The leaks being openings in the system for crankshaft bearings, camshaft bearings, piston cooling jets (yes our engines have those), etc...
We have introduced a new small leak by feeding oil to the turbo. The system is staying at the same pressure but the pump has to flow a little more volume. If the leak was large and the pump couldn't compensate then yes there would be an oil pressure drop. The oil pressure sender is seeing the same push of oil pressure that it always has. The oil isn't flowing over the tip of the sender and creating weird readings. It really is at a dead end on the side of the the new fitting. There is about a year of testing on the test setup. The oil pressure gauge behaves the same now as it did pre-turbo. Our setups are the same for these components.

Not that you need it, great explanation above, but the Safari systems have a similar oil tee and have had successful operating experience for about 20 years. Here's a photo.

I think the biggest question I have is who is going to throw a set of rollers on the rear, pull the front driveshaft, lock the CDL, and do a long and smokey burnout?
