The cooler kit cost me $1500 delivered. Although it's a bit more expensive than the equivelent HKS item in my eyes after seeing the quality of the ARC cooler it was money VERY well spent. The ARC cooler is not as big as the HKS Type S in size but it's power rating is more than enough for me. I'd be max 250kw.

Speak to dAVE in the Vic section for more details on them.

Abo Bob - I know this may sound strange but after I put the cooler in I took it for a quick spin and it seemed to come onto boost with a lot more of a punch. I mean it wasn't boosting harder but just seemed to come on with more of a surge and there was a little bit more noise.

It's hard to tell what difference it made as I had the Power FC, FrontDump pipe and Bleed valve installed at once so it's now running 10psi after a dyno tune.

The power is pretty good and the delivery is awesome but I still want more. I don't really know how much more I can do without looking at a turbo upgrade though.

Have a look how restictive the stock dump pipe is! -

You can see round the flange how small the pipe joining into it is. Around 2" would be my guess compared to the 3" I have on now.

Put some more boost into it. I repeatively done back to back runs from 10-13psi and we were gaining 10-15 up high, but midrange was like 20rwkw more, thats were you feel it. Just tell ICE you want some more boost. If you want more power, this is a fix until you get used to it.

Had the car checked on the Dyno on the weekend, turns out was running far to lean at high boostRPM. Looks like my fuel pump had had it :cheers: I need a Bosch 975. Best price so far is $280. With it running a little richer is now making 190kw but boost curve drops at high end. Need to fit a HKS EVC to fix that. With a new controller should be around 200kw. Will post a dyno sheet.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
