my guess it looks like it would need alot of drivers /IO's if there are 10 solenoids alone for the sequential vacuum solenoids. what else needs that much going on, bearing in mind its a niche market and catering for the masses.. who would want to spend such amount of money on a shit system. would seriously suck if the turbos then shit themselves which are relatively common when they have been squeezed harder

lols there you go, i was trying to find the pics of it all but looks like they mustve been on an old phone that never came through. while that image shows the layour and where they go, being semi exploded doesnt give a true represenation of how tight it is all together and how difficult it is to actually work around and tell whats what in the car
-
agreed. but also most machines only come new with the 4m lead so likely upgrade on any machine. 4m is way too short for real world

they dont ? shit thats cray. the whole reason most ditch the sequentials from what I can recall was the massive birds nest of vaccum lines between the block and the inlet manifold, go hard and brittle with the heat and get a leak that are damn near impossible to find, well its not impossible, its just so much hard work to get down inbetween it all, and then after all that effort you are still stuck with sequentials that are going to coninue to give you greif unless you replace ALL the hoses, at that distance travelled, over 80kms they become the gift that keeps giving, so easier and best to just ditch them. If you gotta go for cert anyway, you may as well do that first since it wouldnt surpise me if changing to single means power increase or some shit - dunno but pay to check. the apexi was a common relatively cheap addition to get more power from stock. remember their hayday was so long ago now aftermarket ecus were so expensive. i cannot remember exactly now but if you changed something, like the air filter box, or something in the exhaust the cheapest way around it was the apexi. sorry its vague but cant remember now - been a long time ago now.

If you are going to keep the car for any period of time, ditch the apexi. they are at best just a piggyback and as KPR said, you have to know what you are doing with them otherwise you're gunna have a bad time and generally not a cheap one grab a plug n play link, ( if you go this route, ensure you rewire the fuel pump wiring from factory as this is a known issue - actually just put it on your list to do for decent insurance anyway ). or a microtech and do the job properly.

Ah right, yes totally not what I was thinking when you said a high rise mani ! LOL. I guess the SBM has a lot space above compared to the bbm in the c-body. Although running the edelbrok performer inlet manifold which again is DP design and is like a SBC air gap mani in appearance, i am limited to having to run a drop base on the air filter otherwise it doesnt fit under the bonnet. Which is surprising to me, ( being a factory bb car ) as the cars are so fucking large.

@johnny.race seems to be the resident hilux diff man and can prob tell you which you want. there are long ones, short ones, but any of the older 4x4 hiluxs should be fine for non abs versions. i am not 100 but i thought the bearings on the 4x4 ones are all the same so could quite be the same end housing are you shortening past the length where some are undercut ? are you neediing the full shaft dia type?
-
it completely depends on the service type and the industry. ones we used a few years back for the gas industry completely sealed - for obvious reasons.
-
will that clear the hood though?
-
Give Gavin @ mopower performance a call and see if he has anything about for one. Don't know how much 318 stuff he has but used to be a super helpful guy over the phone.

good luck mate
