** If you can get one. 2 years ago they where as scarce as hens teeth.. Today in Covid Country, you'd have to be looking at a 2nd hand unit from a wrecked V9x..... Good luck, I hope it's not the pump....

Love my ST-X 550.. After-market Inter-cooler, hot and cold side boost piping replacement then Tune it and enjoy the power and luxury... Crank the BOSE Stereo while sipping 8.1L/100km and winning red light drags ;)

I'd love a firmware update to fix the atrocious Bluetooth connectivity.... I did download an update from the web a few years back on an ISO - but it appears that the AUSTRALIAN headunits run a diiferent version and I was unable to perform the update. :( Anyone have any links to a new ISO that...

As Old Tony says - you'll have a slight leak in that fuel primer allowing it to flow back to the tank. I know that happened on my old D40.. It turned out that they had not fully locked on the filter allowing it to suck air... Also check that fuel bulb to see if it's perished or showing signs.

As above - my previous D40 would blow warm at best when the overflow bottle / top up was down.. I'd fill the bugger right up and like magic hot air would emanate from my vents.

Plazmaman Hard pipe and Windbooster.. $150 for both?

Im currently looking at the Series 2 ST-X. They are a nice bit of kit with all the nicesties. I've had TONNES of issues with my D40 - most owners have. We either embrace it, or burn them to the ground :) If you're after a comparison Ute, do yourself a favour and check out the NEW Triton...

I went with adjustable FAN LED's - as the engine bay in the YD25s is hot enough, so the lights would struggle to dissipate heat - especially with the dust covers on them. Anyway, I was sick an tired of getting so called "High Output" globes only to have them last 4-6 months. They are *so* not...

Was the other device a DAWES valve? As Tony is aware I threw my BCS away after 2 failed and replaced it with the TILLIX system. This has given me better boost, better drivability and most of all - no random boost spikes / lags like the BCS does.

Tony, I do recommend the vacuum needle valve - it allows you to hold the actuator up so boost comes on early, then the boost pressure forces the Tillix valve open and as such causes the actuator to be pushed down - so you control boost. I found mine most responsive with the needle valve screwed...

No power and black smoke = No boost. Which means your Boost Solenoid is dicked - or plumbed in wrong. Check all your vacuum hoses are connected as they should be. Idle = Suction Control Valve. Mine used to rock and "hunt" at idle. Changed out the SCV and it was smooth and steady. Unplug the...

I can tell you that when my D40 would not start in the morning and had LONG crank times, it turned out to be the PUMP. You can look at the usual suspects though: 1. Fuel filter leaking / fuel line draining back 2. Suction Control Valve requires cleaning / End of life, needs replacing 3. Fuel...

Castle Hill Exhaust and performance have been doing D23 tuning for sometime now. Getting some GOOD numbers, particularly out of the TWIN TURBO engines.. Talk to Dale, and he'll fill you in. They can even remove the DPF..

iPhones won't work with Bluetooth ODB2 connectors. The way Apple controls the Bluetooth communications stack blocks the comms. Get one that is WiFi - and it'll work.. Also, TORQUE is not available on the iOS platform. I use ODB Fusion. It's quick, works great on any Apple product and gives you...

I chased a fault for 6 plus months - as they guys can attest to here. Turns out it was a faulty connection on the ECM.. Mine would throw a CPS error randomly to the point where it became undrivable. 3 different companies, a timing chain replacement, removal of the DPF. And thousands of...
