So stock VP37 type injection pump?
 
Hi Dougal :-)

Yes pump is std. I can't remember the model type but it's not a VP37 or 44. But very similar. Great pump because there's no brain on the pump but there is a ROM with test data for calibration by the ecu.

In actual fact we aren't using more fuel than in the past efforts that have been around 260-300whp. And that was with (in my opinion) very good turbochargers. The main improvement on past results is due to more efficient turbo and excellent intercooling.

Even I'm suprised but it is what it is and I'm seeing the same results across the board with the other engines. When vnt is applied at the same time it will be pretty cool.

Fun times and more to come soon :-)
 
FYI today a QLD customer (Just Autos) tuned a 1KD-FTV (3litre 4cyl D4D Hilux) with Gturbo a Stage 3 vnt. It did 276whp at 19:1 and 256whp at 21:1 afrs. Awesome boost response and runs ~ 39psi max on the road. The 256whp is the heavy towing tune.

I'd give my left nut for a Tacoma (Hilux) with a 276hp D4D!! You guys are spoiled with your diesel awesom-ness. Nice work.
 
Haha well how about 287hp. Might crack 300 tomorrow :)

What's crazy is that although the dyno looks peaky, this is an awesome drive and is just amazing at towing a 4t boat.

Towing 4t it easily out drags a std Nissan Patrol 3litre. Imagine the shame

It's 42psi boost btw

Hi Graeme.
Any fuel system upgrades for the 1vd ftv yet. My 1hd fte was 214rwkw and would like to improve on this with my new purchase.

Yes for sure, I am confident that we will have over 250rwkw within 12 months. But, it's not easy. I've just upgraded the V8 turbo parts (again) and that should release another 10-15 putting a max ~ 225rwkw. A few other mods and larger injectors and I'm pretty sure we are there :-)
 
Ok 292whp with more tuning and torque curve improved, comes on hard at 2100rpm giving it a very wide power band.

I'm going to change design a bit and should pickup some power I the same fuel.

Great effort. :cheers:Good to see someone really shooting for the best product they can bring to the market with hours of R&D behind it and proven results.
Might make other manufacturers who bring out a turbo "kit" something to think about rather than slapping an exorbitant price on everything & only saying its good for a 20% increase over stock.

This is the same hilux as the 292hp one but stage 2 gturbo compounded with a lager turbo 55psi and bigger fuel pump .

The power curve certainly is impressive, but the scaling on the torque curve is wrong.
320kw at 4000rpm is 763Nm and the graph shows ~900Nm.

Is this a 1KD?

Yeah Dougal it's a 1kd . I wasn't part of the build or tuning so not sure on the torque scale but I think it may be showing rwkw but flywheel torque . Does that calc correctly ?
