Varying 82-85-89C tests with blocking bypass once opening that may assist @mudski too.

Thinking we might start off giving an 82C one a go this summer in the Mrs GU TD42T after reading that blokes trials, worth a cheap crack at them all really.
Just taking her wagon for a run now across town to properly compare the stock temp gauge versus Redarc aftermarket one.
50C it starts to move off stock guage ‘C’
60C it hits 1/3
70C it hits about 1mm under half
Wasn’t able to hit any steep long hills the way I’ve come but do know the stock guage won’t budge beyond 1/2 until some 95C+.
That’s over a 25C variance that Nissan has kindly built in for customer satisfaction:-)
Really keen to oneday find out exactly what their official operating water temp is if anyone can kindly help out there?

Hey mark, not surprised as factory gauges are typically 'lagged' so the punter does not get alarmed at the rate of rise or even the temp it is sitting at. My daily drive does not even have a temp gauge as the powers to be believe that , I quote 'the driver of such a vehicle should not be bothered with the temperature of the engine as it is a distraction to the driving experience' - like right, this is Australia - 3 yrs ago it was so hot up in the Canberra area that my bonnet emblem popped off the bonnet sometime after I parked it, somewhere around the 43degc day, after a 7 hour drive, so no idea how hot that poor bonnet got! I am a big believer in 'more information is gooder'.

Spot on PeeBee.
Which is exactly why I opted to fit a secondary standalone gauge , after so many people told me not to worry about it , just "Trust" the factory needle. If it nears the red , then begin to worry about it.
I like direct feedback, as you can monitor how different driving behaviour influences the temps, and the adjust to suit.
You can also tell more precisely how different mods influence the temps ... Like different fans, spotties in front , new radiator etc ...
Something your lazy Nissan needle will not tell you .

Turbo Upgrades for the GUIV TD42Ti
Agreed mate, a super decent effort he put in to help others from his experience found. Only read the first few pages too but this thread here is also at 548 top posts of really decent stuff, especially the early relevant topic ones, my bad of late :-)

Alright, I'm gonna re-route this thread back to the original roots for a moment...
Since Darren began this journey and we have the identical models, I've always had it on the cards to do the same.
Time to get the ball rolling !!
I don't overheat and my EGT's I'm yet to push past 400-420. But am yet to be in a demanding scenario though. The HT18 right now is on its upper reaches of efficiency after last tune. It has no more to give.
I'm not chasing more ponies as such. Just a bit of torque. And I'd like the car to run "optimum". I know and can feel it has MORE to give.
As well as watching Matty guide and recommend things, I've also spoken to the tuner at JPC and last week had a good chat with Andy at diesel tec. After telling them my scenario and wants and needs.
All is pretty much unanimous. A better suited turbo and give the car more air to breathe will make this vehicle much more fluent.
I'd like to retain my factory pump. 11mm from what I believe. Will also give the car 4" of air to the snail...
I'd like mine pretty much to be a carbon copy of Darrens with the turbo.
Time & mechanical skill will be my biggest enemy here, as I doubt I'll be able to hit the job my self and have the car off the road for a days while I work on it.
My goal is to gather as much of parts and pieces as possible and hit the job sometime late Jan, start of Feb. And at this stage, my plan is to give the car to DieselTec with all parts, and call me when it's done.
I guess largest hurdle will be how to liaise everything to get the dump pipe fabricated.
1/ Darren installed an inline pump. Is this really needed since I'll be retaining my injector pump?
2/ Is it viable to fit a 4" intake to HT18, at least temporarily? I understand there will be a reduction between the airbox and the turbo.
This way at least I can break the job into portions and can have this part done prior to turbo and I'm confident I can do this part my self at least. I just don't know what intake size HT18 is? And how one would adapt 4" airbox into it.
@MudRunnerTD PM sent mate.
Below posts are Andy's list of parts and guides on what to and how to ! Which will be the core of my part gathering.
Thanks to @AB part list and guide !!!
