Ok, so I’ve been playing with the Nav, took off the front bar and nudge bar, had the nudge bar powder coated, new headlights and globes all round. fitted the Plazmaman intercooler and pipes, and fitted the Pro vent 200. Was a bit of a mission my got it in an mounted. Just to clarify, the...

Thanks for the help today Steve, ended up buying a universal pro vent 200 kit with 19mm fittings and hose. Also got a couple of extra connectors (both straight and a couple of elbows). Kit came with two hoses that step down from 25mm-19mm as well. As soon as my intercooler arrives I’ll have a go...

If you wanted to go bigger motor, easiest replacement I would think, would be the V9X out of a 550, you know it fits, parts would be fairly easy to get your hands on as there are a few wrecking. You would save a heap of $$$ by not requiring so much custom fabrication work. But if you were after...

Interesting take, most things I’ve read have been positive in regards to exhaust and tune, people have seen decent gains in torque and better fuel economy. This is what pushed me in that direction. I have a very good tuner who I’ll be using, done a heap of diesels as well as performance cars...

Thanks, yes, I will be replacing the intercooler as well, mine is leaking. Will be f do ping catch can, exhaust and tune/remap

Thanks for the photos Steve, as long as it’s sweet to go off the PCV, which appears is what everyone is doing, then that’s all good, I’ll get the pro vent from western filters and go to Rocket industries to get the fittings and maybe some nice braided lines and clamps. I’ll post some photos up...

What I don’t understand is why I’m being told 1hr labour to fit a HPD can and 5-6hrs labour for a vent pro, and some shops flat out refuse to fit the vent pro, will only do the HPD. From what I can see from the information on here and other forums, the installation is the same, you just need a...

Ok, thank you for the information, so the measurements given earlier in the post are correct? Factory connections are 19mm and the pro vent is 25mm

I need to know how to remove it as I’m taking mine off to get powder coated.

And I’ve just been thrown off by having diesel mechanics tell me this can’t be done. From what I’ve seen, (I’ve watched a video on YouTube of installation of the HPD catch can), doesn’t seem too hard? From what I can understand, the pro vent installation should be pretty much exactly the same...

I’m probably just being lazy, I’m going to be doing the intercooler myself, so will probably do the catch can at the same time. Is there any issue with running the catch can with the PCV in place? Or should the PCV valve be removed when running the catch can? And if I keep the factory PCV...

I am mechanically minded, done a fair bit of work to previous cars myself, but as I’m getting older I’m more incline to take a step back and let someone else do it. Lol I was considering doing it myself but as I said, was kind of scared off by two of the people I spoke with, one mechanic, who...

Hi everyone, new member, just got an STX550 and was looking at doing intercooler, piping (hot and cold side), catch can, exhaust and tune. I’ve already purchased the Plazmaman intercooler kit with hot and cold side pipes. Have posted about catch cans on another thread so I’ll leave that there...

Hi Steve, I’m in Sydney, south west, out near Camden. Cheers Moray

Hi, sorry to revive an old thread, but better then to start a new one on the same subject. Steve, how did you go fitting the pro vent? I’m looking into getting a catch can fitted to my 550, after a bit of research found that the general consensus is the pro vent is one of the better cans on the...

Hi all, New to the forum so please, go easy on me, lol Just bought my first diesel, was a Ute I’ve liked for a long time and was finally in a position to get into one, so jumped at it. Got my hands on a 2012 D40 Navara STX-550. Mechanically it’s standard, I’ve looked up the common faults and...
