Diesel Head
To be clear, Foreal has been doing just as much, if not more, R&D for his endevours far beyond internet blogs and info posted in the past by certain members here. He has put up all of his own finances just to offer up an alternative. Him and I have been in regular contact sharing ideas and possibilties.
Personally, I dont have much to gain from posting anything here. This forum has given me a lot of info and saved me a lot of grief over the years, and I figure giving it back is only fair.
I think a healthy competition, as well as a broader consumer choice is much needed in thee toyota diesel performance market. It's fine that a few guys have had almost a monopoly on the market for some time now, but did you actually expect it to last with such a good number of people interested in hopping up their trucks?
Sure, I took apart XXI industries pump from a curiousity perspective, and didnt find anything too stupendous, or impressive, but I'm sure as hell not going to copy it, nor is Foreal looking to copy a GTurbo. As youll no doubt see in the results of his time and money put into play very soon, he has his own brand of killer hard parts to offer.
As far as releasing information by myself or Foreal on the injection systems or turbo sides of the coin, I cant really see any of that hurting Gturbo or XXI's sales of their turbo's, pumps or go-fast parts, It just shows that the guys building the stuff are educated enough to do such a thing. I cant see too many people taking this info and attempting a DIY build on their own. Somebody with the proper tools and equipment still has to build and test the pump, turbo, intercooler,or whatever. It does, however, give them a chance to weigh the pros and cons of each products specs and choose their bits according to what they actually want, instead of "Well, everyone else is getting that one, must be the best, right?".
The whole point of these forums is to share information, experience and know-how.
Some people here are EXTREMELY lucky to have such a cheap way of advertisement and word of mouth that travels lightning fast.
I once tried contacting XXI about a few vague details on their "high-flowed" set of HDT Injectors to be paired with the new pump they've just released. A customer of mine was interested in the pump and injectors, and wanted my opinion on them. I told him I would ask and get the low down. One answer was "I don't know what the tech does, something with the pressures I think, and I think they are stock nozzles." and the other reply told me to stop trying to steal information, in a few more words... Never mind my questions about the pumps.
So anyway, whatever, we'll do our thing and they'll do their thing. No hard feelings, but don't accuse people of stealing or being lazy with their R&D when we clearly can't possibly do that with the info that is given out. Some people share the same kind of passion for this kind of stuff as others, so hard to believe?

. All I'm happy to do is produce results. These pumps 250rwhp and 12.2L/100k's. Performance - outstanding. And it's not anywhere near as easy as you might think Karter. Yes, swaffie and other pump companies/any pump builder and get a pump to make 250rwhp. The white 1 in my video has a swaffie race pump. Goes extremely well... But the Eco is just not there. 400-450k's per tank. Which makes the hp bitter sweet.
