2.8L Isuzu - Australia
Thanks for your prompt service, I received my system last week and fitted it in the very same weekend and it was very easy to install. Just letting you know how it goes on my 2.8 Isuzu," It is bloody fantastic!" The extra power comes in at 5 lb boost you and you can feel it! I will let you know in a few weeks about fuel savings etc...
I can’t stop telling people about it. With the exchange rate from USA to Australia, it cost me $1250 Aus dollars, but I can tell you I would have paid lots more without the unit installed. So like I said, once I have had it on a few weeks I will know what it is like on fuel. I drove to work today with it on then home with it off and thought I had a different 4x4. I will have to be careful as it is very easy to go over the speed limit which is 100 kph, an 60 kph in built up areas and I am so pleased with it. I can't wait to hook the boat up this coming weekend to see how much better it tows.
Till next time, thanks again.
Peter Davie.
PS- current fuel stats, are 700 klms to 70 litres of diesel traveling to and from work which is about 55 klms per day. Cost about $52 Aus.

1991 4.2L 1991 Nissan Safari - New Zeland
I ordered a system off you guys in January this year - just thought I’d let you know I’m very impressed. Excellent instructions, easy to fit, easy to tune and massive gains with tuning. My 4.2 liter 6-cylinder diesel now pumps 322bhp and torque above 1100ft-lbs at the rear wheels. It runs like a v8 and hasn't shown any signs of getting hot.
I've been raving about the kit on pirate4x4.com and giving people your URL - hope you get some business out of it.
I’d be interested in becoming the New Zealand distributor for the product and running it through the certification process down here - are you interested in this at all - let me know.
Thanks again,
Colin Brewer

2.4 TDI-LandCruiser - Canada
I got the kit, performed a clean install and tested it. It dropped 3 seconds off the 0-100km/hr times and dropped 9 sec off the 0-140km/hr times. Very impressive. Still have black smoke coming from the exhaust under full throttle but it helped with all other black soke. The engine runs quieter and smoother. It dropped the egts negligently.
On an added note, I just got back from a trip from Calgary, Alberta to Pismo Beach, CA - a 5800 km trip. There were mountain passes, flat prairies and speeds unheard of in a Cruiser! At times I was cruising at 90 mph! Most cruisers are lucky to squeeze 65 mph out of them. The fuel economy came up about 3 mpg even with the larger tires when I drove 60 mph.
Cheers

I installed
the propane injection system yesterday and it does everything that
they advertise. I can't say anything about the other propane
systems out there, but the system comes on real
smooth and delivers the propane in a very drive able way.
The power comes on so smooth that you don't realize it,
until you shut the system off. Then you think to yourself
s**t this thing rocks!
The propane
is regulated by the amount of boost you apply to it, the
more boost the more propane. There is an adjustable boost
valve that is installed in the cab, ,so you can vary the
amount of power that you want. A real neat feature.
I had to be convinced that this
was a good system and after many phone calls, I believe
that it is.
I'm still
fine tuning the system, to fit my needs a little better.
But over all this system is worth every dollar.
My EGT’s appear to have remained the same.

The
system has been installed on our baby I just
within the last
week had a chance to use it pulling the trailer. The power difference is phenomenal.
Pulling a fairly steep grade here locally from a dead stop (why do they always
put a stop light at the bottom of a steep hill) the pickup performance was greatly
appreciated.
Keep
in mind that our truck weighs 13,500 and
the trailer is an additional 15,000. While
pulling the trailer my average mpg was between
8.25 and 8.75 mpg before the installation.
Using the system I noted an average mpg of
10.0. Still the mpg is not the exciting issue,
when you purchase a rig this size you are
aware that you did not purchase it for its
economy. You buy a truck this size for the
power to go and the oomph to stop. While
it has always had the stopping power, there
were the times that I felt it could use a
little more power when facing a steep grade
or a strong head wind.
It
is this seat of the pants power that I am
very pleased and astounded with. My EGTs
(pre-turbo) stay about the same, maybe a
little lower. Boost builds much quicker.
I look forward to using the system over a
long trip soon, and will report the results
as soon as I do.
I
mounted the tank in a box on the rear of
the bed, it makes for a nice clean install.
I do need a larger tank, but since I use
the system on an as needed basis I can upgrade
later.
If
you would like a few photos of the system
installed let me know and I will be happy
to take a few shots and forward them. Many
thanks for the great product and the exceptional
customer service extended after the sale.
Should
you have any potential customers that have
any questions I would be happy to serve as
a reference.

I
have the propane system on my
VW Jetta TDI and it works great! This is a
vapor system. I installed it last November
and have put over 15,000 miles on the Jetta
since it was installed. No problems to date.
If you are conservative with your feed rate,
you should have no problem with detonation
or "backfiring".
Based
on some top gear acceleration runs (45 mph
to 65 mph), I have gotten about a 40 percent
increase in torque with the propane compared
to stock (between about 1600 rpm and 2300
rpm). The kit comes with different sized
orifices and the boost pressure at which
the propane is actuated can be adjusted.
I've run as much as 3500 miles on one tank
(mine is 2.5 gallons) of propane. I also
seem to be getting about a 10 percent increase
in fuel mileage (diesel).

We
had your propane infusion system installed
on our motor home recently and will bring you
up to date on the results.
Our
installer Huffenberger Restorations modified
the settings from your stock settings for
this application. After testing it was determined
that the maximum turbo boost pressure was
only 9 LB. so the point propane starts to
flow was reduced to about 3 LB. The maximum
propane flow at full throttle was also reduced
a little.
Our
motorhome is very under powered so the power
increase was dramatic, and it was a noticeable
improvement. We are now able to maintain
speed, and even accelerate on modest grades.
Those are driving conditions under which
we would have slowly lost speed in the past.
The real improvement was on those long steep
6 to 7% mountain grades. Where we would have
topped out at 25-35 MPH in second gear we
not top out at 40-45 MPH in third gear. The
hill or wind conditions that would have dropped
our speed to 45-50 in third gear we now handle
at 55-60 MPH in overdrive. In many respects
it drives like a different motorhome, which
has really added to our sense of safety and
pleasure.
We
have been using a very modest quantity of
propane, on the order of one gallon of propane
per 72 miles. This includes domestic use
of propane for the refrigerator and cooking.
I would guess the actual propane use may
be less than one gallon per 80 miles if domestic
use is not considered. The fuel mileage has
increased 1 to 2.5 MPG and has been under
heavy load conditions with little improvement
when under light load. Is this what should
be expected?
My
question is, should or could the propane
use be bumped up? If so, should it come in
at a lower boost pressure or should maximum
propane flow be increased? Or, should I just
leave the settings as is.
All
in all we are very pleased with the results
and have recommended your system to a number
of other Isuzu Trek owners!

Well
me and the wife and two dogs just finished
our trip to the Easter Jeep Safari and had
a blast. The Motor home ran like a champ and
we Got between 14-15 Mpg at an AVG. of 70-75
MPH once we were out of Calif.( Stupid 55 MPH
law for trucks and cars pulling trailers)The
Motor home was a loaded down and pulling close
to 7000lbs of jeep and trailer.
The
new Torque Converter worked great. Drove
from Moab Ut. to Las Vegas 526 miles and
filled up and only used 37 gal. of fuel 14.2
Mpg and that was pulling several grades and
towing the jeep.
The
juice was on the whole trip started out with
it set to come on at 9PSI on the trip out
and reset it for 7PSI on the way back it
used a little more juice on the way home
approx. 2 gal more but i only had to fill
it once when we left from home and refilled
when we got to Moab Ut. and on the way home
I did top off the tank in Las Vegas just
because the service station had Lp fuel and
we had used some for the stove and heater
while in Ut. The fuel mileage surprised me
too! A 24 ' motor home pulling 7000lbs and
still got 14mpg (YESS)

I just went to San Diego (650 miles round
trip). I have the diesel propane injection system installed with it
set to come in at about 2 - 3 lbs of boost. I
was towing a 12,000 lb fiver. Going there I went
up and down MANY grades and got 3 mpg improvement.
On the way home I went the FLAT route and picked
up 4 mpg.
The
power is unbelievable!
Talking
to another who has it installed with his set
to come in at 10 lbs boost, he stated
even
better mpg gains than I.

I'am getting an average of 18.5 mpg on the
highway @ 75mph w/o propane.
With propane on and traveling the same highway
speed I'am seeing 21.7mpg.
Keep in mind that the van weighs
9000lbs & is
run 6 days a week.
Also,the above figures are with a really heavy
foot.
Hopefully,I'll see more mileage
next year as I'am going to go to a full 4" exhaust
and possibly a new flip chip (tow,race,extreme).

Well, I’m happy to report the results
of the trip to Los Angeles and back. I’m
even happier to say that it only took 5.3 gals
of propane added to the diesel to take me there
and back again. (729 miles RT) The best part
was the truck, while pulling my 8K trailer, NEVER
came out of OD while on the freeway. Can you
imagine that, not coming out of OD on those annoying
little hills? I’m downright excited about
that... Usually when I'm on that road, I-15,
it is out of OD about 3/4 of the way up those
hills and stays out until the down hill side.
I am really happy about having that Diesel Performance
Products setup on this truck.
There are three significant hills and several
loooong slow up-hills, where the propane was
really helping.
(Like Victorville to Cajon summit and Riverside
to Cajon) When you stop to consider this, it
had to be a considerable help in reducing both
the
miles per gallon and wear and tear on the vehicle.
My cruising speed was 65, staying with the big
boys to avoid the tickets, (55 limit in Ca while
towing) and the RPM was about 1900.
Now the sad news, of all the
times to loose a fuel receipt, I had to do
it this time. (I
used
to be
blond, now it’s Alzheimer’s.) What
I do remember is that I have never gone this far
on a tank of fuel before while towing and it only
took a touch over 30 gallons for the 550-sumthin
miles. That’s about 18 MPG pulling the trailer!!
I can’t get over the fact that it had enough
power to keep it in OD and still maintain 65 uphill.
Anyone who has been from Las Vegas to Los Angeles
over the I-15 knows that these are some kind of
grueling hills, not the Rocky mountains, but it
varies from 2000 feet to 4300 feet in about 12
miles (6 & 7% grades) and it's a good workout
for a lot of towing vehicles. Semis are all about
45MPH, if that, and we zoomed right by them with
the PSD just purring along (including knock and
cackle) Usually I do pass them but this time it
wasn’t at 2700 rpm and making lots of
heat. The pyro was solid at 650 on all the
hills, including
up the Cajon pass. (I measure the pipe pre
turbo.) One other thing, the engine fan never
came on either,
like it has in the past.
Again, sorry that I can’t give you a real
accurate mileage figure, but my seat of the pants
SWAG is at least 2-MPG improvement. BTW, the wife
thinks it’s great because it no longer
makes all that engine noise on those hills.

Just burned through my first whole tank load
of fuel that was supplemented with propane...
I did a bunch of 50 mile highway bursts during
this tank...
Got 650 miles on one tank of diesel...
Used 28.5 gals of diesel $1.30...
Got 22.67 mpg...
Could have gone over 700 miles on a tank of
fuel...
These PSD's are the best...

"When do you flip the switch?" -----
Right after I start it
I use mine for daily driving. Flow set low I
get about 1000 miles per 20lb tank. It is just
nice
for merging with traffic and all around drivability.
As far as the MPG gain, I took a trip to CO
with the 28' 5er last summer. 4800 miles. Got
average
of 11.9 MPG with LP. Tank lasted about 500-600
miles. A gain of 1.5 to 2 mpg verses w/out
LP. Enough fuel savings to pay for the LP. My
take
is the system is break even on MPG gains are
enough to pay for the LP. You just need to
pay for the
system .
Hope that helps, Dave

Keith, sorry about taking so long to get back.
I told you I would report how the propane injection system
did on my 96 Ford,F350, 410 rear end and a standard
shift. I have a Super Chip, undated exhaust,
K and N filter. I pull a 38 ft. fith wheel which
weighs 17,000 lbs plus.
I could not believe the increase in power I
got. You set up my unit for pulling and I have
not changed
anything. What I pulled in 4th gear I now pull
in 5th. I check my mileage on 1600 miles on a
trip to Arkansas from Texas and I got about 12.5
MPG
where I would get 10 before . I am very well
pleased and have told all my friends about it.
Can't wait
to go the the North West next summer and try
some of those hills.
A good article in the current Trailer Life about
ATS system which I do not believe is as refined
as yours. They should have told about all the
systems on the market. You got short changed..
Oh yes I used about 17 gals of propane on the
test . I do not leave the system on all the
time .
Good luck
A satisified customer

Hi Keith,
I have some more good news about the units on
semi's. My brother was coming from Phoenix headed
to
Flagstaff and it must be a long steep grade.
A truck past him at the bottom and Mike (my
brother) was talking to him on the radio.
He told Mike he had a 550 hp cat engine and that
it really pulled good. Well to make a long
story short Mike passed him on the first
good
spot and left him in his dust. Mike has the
430 hp Detroit engine. When Mike stopped
to fuel up in Flagstaff and said the guy caught
up to him in after he had been at the truck
stop for a half hour. Well needless to say
Mike was real impressed!!.The other guy couldn't
believe it was propane injection.

You have what is undoubtedly the best available
PROGRESSIVE propane injection system on the market
today! It's easily installed, only in operation
when YOU want it to be, is FULLY adjustable as
to power level and boost threshold for injection.
I see you already have a number of other performance
mods, so you aren't a stranger to power upgrades
- so what's the deal?
*I*
have the PS2000 setup on my older Dodge, and
LOVE it - and I also have a buddy with a '99
Ford who is looking for one after seeing mine
in action
- so if you really ARE wanting to sell it, get
back to me and I'll see he gets the info - sure
a SHAME to see so fine a system WASTED on a FORD
tho'...

Just
got back from driving around "testing" the
system. It is un freaking believable!I see why
they say you get hooked on it. I was able to
run my hoses up the corner through the stake
holes. I didn't have to drill any holes in the
bed. I made a temporary wooden cradle for the
BBQ tank. I'll get my real tank first week in
Oct. My install was really easy. Everything went
smooth. Real close on line length. Almost didn't
have enough. I do have the Crew Cab and I mounted
the tank centered in the bed (up against the
back wall) cause my real tank will have it's
fitting there. They only supplied two hose clamps
so I made an educated guess where to use them.
The connection at the turbo needs three and two
for the tank. I figured the turbo fittings would
probably hold without a clamp but guess what?
After my first test drive, I opened the hood
and checked everything. Low and behold one of
the turbo boost lines was just about blown off.
I now have clamps for everything. I was able
to mount the switches with the supplied panel
in the dash. There's a little cubby hole where
the airbag switch would be if it weren't a Crew
Cab. Same place mdrag mounted his SPA gauge.
I broke off the top part of the mounting bracket, removed the dash trim, pulled
out the cubby hole thing and cut a hole in the
back for the wires. I put the plate in position
and just snapped the dash on. Worked out slick.
Looks factory. So I will have everything in but
the big honkin tank by Rendezvous time. One more
thing. The Allison handles the power with precision.
Under hard acceleration, it does a shift almost
like it's a manual. Lets off power, shifts, then
reapplies with vengeance. Feel like I'm on an
amusement ride! Excellent
product, Excellent service!

I
have installed propane injection system on this coach. Process
didn't take a long time and only major work was
drilling and tapping hole in side of intercooler
inlet (that was white metal so was very easy
to do, and you supplied enough fittings to make
that happen. Had just about the right
amount of hose and really didn't need the extra
wire you sent. Dash already had a
covered rectangular hole near ignition switch
so installed switch panel there and installed
gas control just behind LP tank in basement (used
clamps on all hoses).
Took
a 200 mile test drive thru the Maine hills
I-95 and secondary roads. Yikes! What
a difference. Now when I step on 'throttle'
pedal I go faster NOW not in a few minutes - really
feels like a sports car instead of a bus. Don't
know yet what real mileage gains are but if one
can trust the SilverLeaf display average MPG has
gone from 8.5 to 10+ - will know more after I fill
tank a few times. Please use me for
email reference anytime - only have cellphone
so that gets expensive.
Thanks again for simple but elegant gizmo and
your accomodation of my non-pickup truck requirements.
