  • Oil return hose setup – factory oil return modification required
  • Compressor cover tapping may be required if no boost source exists
  • Hose clamps required – 2Γ— for oil return line (not included)
  • Turbo & dump pipe studs/nuts not included β€” reuse originals or purchase separately
  • Other general modifications - may be required.

πŸ”§ Recommended Extras

Essential accessories:

  • 1KD VNT Simulator Module – (Tap once to add to cart) - ECU stepper motor delete (required for gated R77 Pro install)
  • Coolant Line Kit – (Tap once to add to cart) - available separately for complete installation
  • Boost reference setup – intercooler pipe boss and barb required
  • Oil return hose setup – factory oil return modification required + 2x hose clamps

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this a direct bolt-on for my 1KD Hilux N70 or Prado?

A: Yes β€” bolts to the factory 1KD low-mount manifold, dump and intercooler piping on Hilux N70 (KUN25/KUN26), Prado 120, Prado 150 and Hiace. Oil drain modification required for proper return flow.

Q: What boost levels should I run?

A: Typical setups run ~28–35 PSI depending on supporting mods and tuner strategy. The included 35 PSI actuator provides headroom for aggressive builds.

Q: Do I need a tune?

A: Yes. An ECU remap is mandatory to manage boost, fuelling and EGTs. Work with an experienced 1KD tuner familiar with the Flex R77 Pro platform.

Q: What supporting mods are recommended?

A: +30/+50 injectors, quality FMIC, 3" exhaust, upgraded intake and professional tuning are essential for 220-280 RWHP / 800 Nm.

Q: What power can I expect from a 1KD Hilux with the R77 Pro 46mm?

A: With proper supporting mods (NPC 850nm Clutch, +50% injectors, FMIC, exhaust, tune) and leaning on the turbo, 280+ RWHP / 800 Nm is achievable. Results vary based on build quality and tuning.

Q: Do I need the VNT simulator module?

A: Yes β€” required. The VNT simulator deletes the ECU stepper motor, eliminating factory VNT control issues when fitting a gated R77 Pro.

Q: What's included in the coolant line kit?

A: The coolant line kit is available separately and provides proper coolant feed/return for the turbo. Check product listings for details.

Q: Will this work with my factory intercooler?

A: While it will physically fit, an upgraded FMIC is strongly recommended to handle the increased airflow and boost levels for best performance and reliability.

Q: How does this compare to the Flex VNT 44mm?

A: The R77 Pro 46mm uses an internal wastegate (simpler, more reliable) vs the VNT's variable geometry. The R77 Pro can make more peak power but is lazier in the bottom end than the Flex 44mm VNT. Results as high as 280 RWHP and 800 Nm have been seen on this turbo, hitting hard and feeling significantly faster up top.

Q: Is this genuine Flex product?

A: Yes β€” sourced direct from Flex Thailand. Common Rail Cowboys never sells grey-market or counterfeit turbos.

Q: Can I install this myself?

A: If you're mechanically capable, yes β€” but professional installation and tuning are strongly recommended for best results and reliability.
