Snicko doing the NADS

[snicko]

Great read on here SNICKO. At the moment I'm organizing all the treats for the patrol. Just gotta find a shop in Brisbane. Any one with a reccomendation ?
Thanks

Thanks
Took me ages to gather the info, get the bits and then get them fitted. When you start post up a thread of your progress as everyone has different experiences.
Look forward to reading yours.

Hi Snicko,

I was talking to two blokes on the weekend, both had cross country intercoolers fitted and both had problems with the metal plate that is fitted under the bonnet for the scoop, rubbing on the intercooler (back passenger side).

Might be worth checking yours.

Cheers Rodney

Thanks Yendor for thinking of me I will go out and check.

Did the guys say how many km they had done since the intercooler was fitted?

I read somewhere that with a bigger intercooler the scoop needs to be replaced and the suggestion was the one off the Holden Rodeo.


EDIT:
Just checked and yes mine has small rub marks in the same spot.

Looks like I will have to do some more research into a bigger scoop.

Thanks Yendor for the heads up .

Sorry I don't know how many Ks they have done since being installed.

I know one has only just been installed and it didn't take very long for it to wear a flat spot in the intercooler.

They both run standard scoops.

One guy removed the plate altogether and the second guy glued a strip of rubber/foam along the edge of the intercooler.

Lets un know how you go.

Cheers Rodney

Hi all, just new here, where will i find some installation info here for NADS, I have a 2006 GU (Does this make it a series 4 ?), Direct Injection, Auto trans & pretty much stock at the moment, and does my model still need/benefit having these mods done.
Thanks in advance for any info..

If its the 3ltr then yes you need to NAD up.
What you will need :
* Dawes : From the US or me, I'm a bit dearer but its a lot quicker
* Needle Valve : Dependable disty's in Adelaide
* Provent 200 catch can : Ebay The $170 priced one.
* EGR Plate : The Ferret does'em
* Pyro bung : Zorst shop
* assorted hose and fittings : Hose shop
* Boost and EGT guage (this needs to be fitted before anything) : Anywhere you fancy

Any updates on your travels with finding a bigger scoop snicko ?

Just recently fitted NADS to my 4x4 with Forum help {thanks} You'll find your EGTs will go down if you increase boost.
Max around 18 psi, Boost controls the EGT. If you can't acheive enough boost you may have to stretch spring to up
the boost.

That looks like it would suck the crotch out of a low flying duck!

Yeah can really feel the difference, just upset my intercooler not leaking yet, would like to feel what happens with the larger IC.
Pricey but well worth it IMO. 4x4 was a slug [normal] when I took it off to be sprayed, LOL
WRX scoop look ok too, you might find the modded 4x4s get heat block, as the heat can't escape from the engine bay
Chances are if you have a GU with a bullbar the scoop doesn't work.
see the front vane inside large scoop.


Pass the duck I'll give it a go lol

Is this one of those 5 in 1 threads you hear about??
