aperently there will be a little smoke under full throttle but was told as I will be running 24psi of boost it will be minimal. standard runs 14.5 psi boost. The guy sending me the system really knows his stuff and holds the record for most powerful 4 cyclinder diesel truck at 325hp and 700+ nm of torq. not bad for a 3.2 ltr

Have seen and read about his pickup.
I once spoke to him about fitting a Skyline engine into a truck.
I wanted a 1,000bhp sleeper.
As always, the costs soon put an end to that idea.

Trying to convince the GF that she need to sell the Honda and get a Pickup. For my new track bike

Yeh tell me about it the wife was busting my balls about changing the motor out of a new truck as well changing the look of it. Women just dont understand the need for power and size unless you are buying a washing machine

Got to be kidding me! I like how you twisted my quote. You must know absolute shit about American motors...

Power Box CR Diesel Tuning Chip for ISUZU Common Rail:eBay Motors (item 230322717929 end time Jul-29-09 13:52:40 PDT)

For sale 200 USD or best offer

Quote- I will be running 24psi of boost ! That should really go,as long as nothing lets go. Some only run on 4 lbs,so as not to give a sudden surge of power.

The standard system runs 14.5 psi and I have since read the email again and it will be running 22 psi,
If it does let go I guess I get to really go to town on a new motor and would probably drop a 3ltr in with the same piggy back system and aim at 240hp

Point proven by your good self.

With 512 ft.lbs. of torque at an incredibly low 2800 RPM and 338 horse power at 4500 RPM, this engine will climb hills, accelerate onto the highway and pull out to pass with the sort of confidence that you've come to expect from a GM Performance Parts crate engine.

Pathetic.

Why not just buy a F150 or such like rather than making a truck?

That's handy. Switch it off, when your Missus or her brothers Somchai take the truck for a spin.

None of them can drive a stick so I am safe at the moment plus they have the the Jazz or the Sport cruiser if the need to drive a car. I really dont want any of them driving the truck except the missus maybe of bike runs
