Fitting a genuine Nissan turbo to a N/A TD42
This thread is designed as a guide for those who are thinking about fitting a genuine Nissan turbo kit from a GU TD42T Patrol to a naturally aspirated TD42 GQ or GU.
I have done this conversion myself a few years ago on my first GU, a '99 model wagon, so I speak from experience. Unfortunately I did not take any photo's or keep notes, I was not involved in Patrol forums at the time.
This thread relates to the early GU TD42T kits that had the water cooled turbo, later GU's did not have water cooled turbo's.
The parts you need in the kit
*Turbo and flange gasket
*Exhaust manifold and preferably heat shields as well
*Alloy turbo inlet pipe
*Alloy turbo outlet pipe and hose and hose clamps
*Alloy cross over pipe (sits over the rocker cover) and hose and hose clamps
*Alloy inlet manifold adaptor and gasket
*Air filter housing
*Plastic inlet ducting and hose clamps
*Oil and coolant feed and drain pipes

Missing from this pic are the inlet manifold adaptor and exhaust manifold, and hoses that connect the alloy turbo outlet pipe and cross over pipe.
