Winnies 747 TD42 GQ

Be interesting to see what the fuel consumption is lol!

[Winnie]

Yeah that will be interesting.

Wouldn't be any worse than a TB42. Whats the difference in price of diesel and petrol around your way Chris?
Diesel used to be heaps more than petrol here but now there's usually less than 10 cents between them

FanTapstic!

Yeah that will be interesting.

I just rubbed my magic ball and the Patrol god told me it will use 14.8l/100...so there you go boys and girls ...lol

Yeah it always changes but diesel is actually about 4c cheaper than petrol at the moment, it's usually a little bit dearer.

Wow thanks Kris now I don't have to wait until I fill up!

FanTapstic!

Mine doesn't reach full boost until 3800rpm either... Told a bloke who knows a lot about the TD42 and he said it must have a really crappy tune?

I think he is pretty spot on. The size of the turbo and no intercooler will also have a bit to do with it as well. At a guess your turbo size will be similar to Nissannewby's, he may be able to advise you better.
But, with diesel YOU NEED THE FUEL TO MAKE THE HEAT, YOU NEED THE HEAT TO MAKE THE BOOST. wind the fuel up!!!!!
If you want to make further improvements after the addition of a quality intercooler, look at air intake. Mods like a plenum, Porting, oversized valves a tri-step valve grind and water methanol injection.
I have a plenum and valve grind on mine ( porting and oversize valve in the future, didnt do it because of time constraints) and am very happy with the throttle response and spool rate in the power band (2000-3200 rpm). BigRig and I have both driven each others rigs, and constructively discussed the pro's and cons of each other setups, He was quote "suitably impressed" with the throttle responce and power delivery of mine, considering it is an unmolested journal bearing turbo (tdo5h-16g)
Another mate has also done a comparisson with mine to a gq shorty with an alluminium head 355 stroker. He took me to a section of road in the sunshine coast hinterland where I had to take a dog-leg corner at 80km/h and floor it to see how fast I could get before the next bend. I made it to 125km/h and the shorty made it to 110km/h. That is a good indication of the responce of my ute in that small power band.

With you bigger turbo coupled with the mods I have mentioned there is no reason why you can easily make over 200rwhp and 1000 Nm at the wheels (tractive effort).

Mine makes 207rwhp and 1626Nm tractive effort on 31's with a smaller turbo, less boost, bigger injector pump.



All that and I still get about 11L/100km (13 with 35's) highway and 14-16L/100 offroading

Cheers
