I got my replacement pulley from repco. Cant remember the exact price but it was in the area of $100 to $150 off memory.

Hi I also own an 08 model. I replaced the lower tensioner pulley at around 98,000ks as it was getting noisy (especially when you rev the engine over 3000 within a few minutes after starting). I also replaced my alternator pulley at around 100,000ks as I noticed the cover had fallen out and there...

I had HIDs in my D40. A few months later got defected. I aimed them down and everything. I played dumb so the copper only gave me a $60 fine but thats beside the point. Just got some $100 halogens. Work good enough. I wonder if LEDs are another option or if they are illegal too. That would be...

thanks for that info. I won't be doing anything that crazy but now knowing that I'm confident the engine will handle delivering more than I am even hoping for without issue The mildly bad news is I found out the timing chain kit will be a tad over $1400 (for a dual row kit from Repco) so that...

thanks, just took a read through his thread. quite an increase in output there. I wonder if he's done any mods to the engine's internals or to the drive-train apart from that deeper pan on the auto transmission. I'll throw him a PM shortly

I have a 2.5L D40. I am looking at doing a few performance mods to it in the near future after the timing chain gets done. Mine is a 2008 thai model with a manual transmission (heavy duty clutch fitted). Reads 20PSI just after the last rubber pipe that leaves the intercooler (on a autometer...

Even after considering the kit, I ended up just buying a provent 200 on it's own and the drain kit. Set me back $195 all up from the western filters ebay store. The previous owner of my car run a hose from the crankcase vent to atmosphere under the car, so there should be enough hose there to...

Thanks for the quick response. I figured that but wanted to be certain (maybe the air box was bigger or something?). I will order the kit in the morning.

Hi, I have a Thai STX extra cab and am looking at installing a catch can. I have been looking at the provent kits but just as I was about to purchase one from western filters on ebay, noticed it was for Spain D40s only. Why would this not fit on a Thai? This is the kit I was looking at...

Yes it probably won't be economical after what has been said. I will have to do a bit more research before I spend any money on it. Will have to wait and see Was hoping it may have been a case of simply swapping the engines, getting new engine mounting, reprogramming the computer and using a V6...

Call me crazy if you wish, but here goes. How difficult would this be? If I were able to track down an engine, how hard would it be to make it all fit and run as it should? Will the manual transmission handle the extra power? I am considering putting one of these engines into an STX extra cab...

When I first got my D40, I had a lack of power and was blowing black smoke. A few days later found the 2 hoses on the top of the engine to be broken. Repaired, and then took it for a drive, which resulted in...:confused2: Check those 2 hoses!

Hi I have an '06 D40 ST-X and want to ditch the factory rims, and get something a bit more fancy. I think there is a 2" suspension lift, so there is a bit more room aswell. These are the rims I have in mind - because there is a set of 4 available for as cheap as $500, and I like the design...
