I want more torque, Cheap options?

[Beno]

I wouldn't agree that high boost kills these motors, it's heat. By having control of boost you can bring your EGTs down which in turn allows you to put more fuel in. NADS is a must.

I'm running 18psi in mine and I rarely see EGTs go over 500°C. My probe is 50mm after the turbo.

ZD's are definitely no torque monster but in my opinion do a good job of moving a big car. There are a few guys getting really good torque numbers but as said its not cheap.

See this link for a good visual representation of boost/EGT relationship.

Might sound like a newby because I am but NADS I'm guessing is the egr block off?
I have done all that well I bought it with that done

What ECM/Chip did you purchase, did you do any dyno before/after to see actual results? I will dyno a before and after but still new wagon (only 3,000km on her so far)....

If you go a plug and play unit like a steinbauer chip it takes 15 mins to remove it and nissan are none the wiser when you get a service done.

I want to find out what the nads is as I have only just bought my rig and I want it to last

Block egr, Dawes and needle valve and catch can is the basics and regularly clean your maf sensor, there are lots of threads about it you just have to look ill post up a link later if you like.

i just read snickos write up about it but i am an apprentice motor mechanic so will tackle myself with my dads help as he is qualified

[ThomasWatson]

how to do it all would be great though

[megatexture]

There is a reference document that's a good read

All these differing opinions, just read what Chaz Yellowfoot [Google] has to say about the ZD30 engine or RUMJAS
could put you on the right path, but first get the NADS in place

Thanks TD I was a bit skeptical buying a ZD but with all you guys having the same I can sit back a little and relax lol
