Loved your video. Top work. I wished the mechanic I paid a shit load of money to do similar work had of watched this first. He may have learnt something and not messed it up. Thanks
Good stuff Kurt great setup you have mate, can only hope I can too one day, but I did install a catch can last sat came out pretty good, from a novice mind you , will be getting a new intercooler as well very soon stocks been leaking oil from doing a round the block trip, so its a must being my mod NP 2000 gu ZD3.0L
@@benos4x4adventures49 lol, well I do have an answer and it is NOT, it can not be replace by any EBC because of the spool rate, so far there is an ECU who can manage the electronic boost solenoid and it is called magic box. May be the GFB boost control may work but no one has try it.
Hi Kurt, great video. Simple question. Why did you select the HPD intercooler over the Cross Country version? Just about to upgrade my IC and just gathering as much info as I can before purchasing. Cheers Mark
Hi Kurt did you loose performance in your patrol with the daws and needle valve upgrades? I had a mechanic do mine and now the car wouldnt pull the skin off a custard?
Great video I have the Nissan terrano 3.0di which I believe is the same motor , been searching high and low for which pipe to cut into for the vacuum gauge , thanks a lot and keep up the good work that's a very nice mod 👍
Hi mate great set up, I'm in the UK and Patrol mods are limited in terms of spares suppliers. Can you tell me the part numbers / makes of the kits you fitted as it would really help me source the parts for this upgrade thanks in advance!
You will be able to get the oil catch can, exhaust temp probe and gauge, vacuum gauge for the turbo, bleed off valve and all other bits and pieces on line just google NADS and you will be on your way.
@@beaufighter245 I ordered the gauges from Patrol Apart in Australia in the end. Their website is so easy to find the right parts with good descriptions. Stay away from dealers for the genuine parts they are useless, the facebook groups have people who know how to get bits so I have not struggled to get what I need it just takes a little while which can be frustrating.
hi! I have a 2001 GU Patrol. Is it normal that once I started the engine, the Actuator goes all the wall up? I don't have a dawes or anything. It's just a stock engine with calibrated fuel injection pump.
I have a needle valve , dawes valve and Boost gauge , I want to install them. How do I connect the Boost gauge? To what hose? And do I really need a EGT gauge too? To what do I connect the EGT gauge? I have a stock intercooler with a slightley bigger core that is welded. It has no holes or anything to fit sensors.What do I do? Thanks in advance if you can help me.
Hi GC you need the boost gauge otherwise you won't have any idea what you are boosting at which will be ineffective to obtain the best results. Low boost = little power and higher egt temps, not good. Boost to high and you can damage your turbo as in disintegrate the little bugger. You need to fit a block somewhere in the system to mount to, usually on the intercooler. The egt is a good visual to see how hot your baby is getting the probe is mounted as close to the exhaust outlet as possible mine is on the outlet from the turbo where it meets the exhaust as that was a practical place to put it. I drive the car on four gauges, speedo no tickets, fuel gauge not stuck on side off road and the boost and egt which gives me almost the full rev range and the best power to temp ratio. If you are anywhere next to Charters Towers happy to help you out.
Now I understand how the Boost gauge is fitted , I need an adapter on the intercooler that fits under the MAF sensor . On your rig I thought thats how the intercooler is. Now I found some on the net , what would you recomend? : www.rv4x4.net.au/nissan-navara-patrol-zd30-3.0-turbo-diesel-turbosm or www.rv4x4.net.au/quick-fit-boost-adapter-with-shroud-spacer-kit-nis or www.tillix.com.au/product/boost-adaptor-nissan-patrol-zd30/ On the black one I do not need a T piece.
hi mate the little block that u put on the inter cooler did u put a t-peace on it the reason i ask it i got one the other day and it only has a single pipe on it
+Lucas Roediger Sorry about the late reply just figured out how to do it. I used SS wool the swarf type, I did fit an internal baffle from the intake to the outlet as well mate.
One more question ,regarding the flow direction of the adjustable needle valve... so the flow direction starts => from the T piece threw the vacuum line goes in / the adjustable needle valve in the cab / out and ends at the air resonator box ?Thank you
