Not necessary, but will help. So Yes.
The power gains are always welcome and the exhaust will help it breathe out so much better.

Cheers.. so if i do more performance mods dwn the line like.. bigger turbo.. bigger cooler.. exhaust and chip or ecu reflash... is it going to be beneficial? Or would money be better spent on saving towards another engine conversion.. sorry for all the questions but is it realy a matter of when and not if.. with the zd30s? Ive been up reading most of last night.. alot of negative coments and alot of people who rate n love there zd30... for nw il pretty happy with it.. just going to throw in a pillar pod and a couple gauges to keep n eye on everything.. any pics or recomendations/brands on this particular mod? Cheers all and thanks in advance...
Welcome to the forum bud.
These motors are limited somewhat to the mods that can be done. Well the turbo is the only thing that your limited too... An ECU reflash I don't think there is one for these Patrols (Di's). The CRD's there is however.
Bigger exhaust would be my first port of call for mods. While your there, get a bung welded into the dump pipe so you can fit and exhaust pyrometer gauge. 3inch is a good size for these trucks. I would advise against getting a system without the cat. Big fines if you get caught. Chance of this is minimal, but myself, I have been stopped for an RTA check twice in the last two years. But my area is full of bogans and idiots, so it's a given....
Going by your post I am unsure if you have the Dawes and needle valve installed, which is the grenade prevention system, or part thereof. If you have, great if you don't, we have already spoken about it briefly. But you need to make sure your intercooler in NOT leaking. Tell tale signs of a leaking IC is oil deposits on and around the core. So if it is, you need a new IC. In my opinion, there is no need to spend over $1000 on a IC for this motor. You can get new tig welded IC's with larger cores for well under $500. That is more than enough...Some will disagree but its just my opinion.
Other mods is the HPD billet Hi flow MAF housing and air box lid. Eff'ing expensive, I did this and can now run a crap load more boost than before. My car goes heaps better with it on. You can get chips that will pretty much do the same thing, trick the air flow meter, so it won't send your motor into limp mode. Threedogs has one of those chips... EGR block is a good mod but it looks your may already be done.
when you get your car, take some pics of the motor, post'em up and we will be able to see if you have NAD's or not. Lol.
can u tell if it has the nads mods from pics? i think has block off plate just not the catch can mod? hw can u tell if its got the needle valve mods etc?
first off will be make sure all nads mods are in place.. fit new egt and boost gauge in pillar pods.. maybe do exhaust and chip azwell since i have to do the bung into the dump pipe for the egt gauge..
