Toads my 10micron setup cost me about $100 and that's about 40% of the KPM unit for the same result :/

Honestly I reckon its WAYYY overpriced for what it is as is anything targeted specifically towards our cars..

The added beauty of your setup is doing away with the stock flare fittings. A little bit more work to start with but it pays off in the long run.

We also use those compression fittings on the coolant lines to convert them to braid for aftermarket turbos.

Yeah mate for sure.. Im lucky to have a bestie with a workshop and a hoist I can use at will and all the tools to do things like that (pipe cutters)..

I dont keep a stock of C spanners so I can see the stockers getting real tired real quick.. :/

Im sure they could be used to block off the coolant lines too for the Precisions/others that arent water cooled.. ???

3 year warranty and tuning data

I wasn't being sarcastic, and $150 difference is not much of a saving in the grand scheme of modifying your car

What brand are your $500 injectors ?

Thanks Wilko

What many do not understand is the offering from KPM injectors . Every set is meticulously re-manufatured in our premises to offer a precise injector.

-Our spray pattern at 1000cc / 1500cc / 1700cc is at Bosch standards of 80% fuel mass within a 20 degree spray cone,

-Every injector set is individual match set at 4 different operational set points. Not just static tested.

-Every set is matched set by our own unique setting program to offer you +/- 1 percent variation on every set you purchase.

- Every single injector is placed through a series of performance tests before allowed for sale

-KPM employs engineers to create systems to generate exact tuning data for ever injector part number sold.

-We are the only Australian injector company offering all the above with 3 year Warranty

-We have instant tech support on phone for all purchasers and tuners

In short we are not a reseller of injectors offering a product without proper testing and support. We are a Bosch Motorsport distributor that re.manufacture , generate correct data on specialised equipment for serious workshops and retail customers. Tuners do not have the testing equipment and engineering skills to generate exact injector characterisation/data. They often use a poke a stick/close enough type method if supplied without.

To offer a precise injector set with precise data and support equates to the highest quality injector offering available in Australia .

In regards to our fuel filters, they are a guaranteed filter for lifetime usage and manufactured to operate as advertised. Our internal 10 micron fuel filter element costs us more than what some cheap replicas charge for their entire assembly. KPM manufacture in- house in Australia employing Australians to offer the very best we can for our Australian vehicles.

some of the supplied injector data is not able to be reproduced in a workshop scenario, this data can mean an injector operating correctly under all situations rather than hoping fuel trims might rectify things

I just fitted up the kpm 10 micron fuel filter. It fits up perfectly, looks to be of a high quality. Along with the kpm 1000cc injectors and kpm dual pump 1000hp fuel module,my whole fuel system is whisper quiet and easily supporting my 440rwkw s on e85.

Very late to the party but this question is for KPM and how you go about cleaning the 10 micron filter?

I'm thinking of just going this route as I like to change the fuel filter with my services (once a year or 10-15k) so want to know how you flush the filters clean...

Cheers,

Brett

Hi Brett

You can clean the stainless steel filter element in any quality parts cleaning solvent. Eg parts washer solvent.

You then bow from inside out with compressed air.

Do this several times and good to go.

Uncle Toads stepped in with the good advice once again and reminded me about the Speed Flow Filter. Couplers in Malaga here in WA supplied me a 602-010-06-blk long series 10mic stainless element filter for a Measly $120.00

How'd you get it so cheap? Just got a quote from them for $160+22shipping
