Hi All
My Name is Simon
I have a 02 gu patrol currently living on the east coast of australian with my wife and dog, but maybe moving back to wa soon. We enjoy traveling camping and Geocaching.
Today we replaced the intercooler with a tig welded one from PWR performance which has helped this a bit with getting more power which is great. Also looking at getting a snorkel fitted as I know my car runs better at night when it's cooler so thought with a fresh air coming from the snorkel being where the filter is behind the gaurds ect it does not get much this would make a it a run a bit better. Still undecided weather to spend the $600 at opposite lock and get this installed or buy one from eBay for about $150 and attempt to install this myself. Been reading a lot of the posts about this but just I suppose not too sure in regards to the whole rust proofing after cutting the holes ect. Any recommendations on this would be great.
I also have been reading up on blocking the egr valve to which we are hopefully doing in the next few hours just waiting on the engine to cool down. Have read this helps make the turbo kick in earlyier which is what I want as is a bit sluggish on the lower gears but also that this may cause over boost, so looking at installing a boost controller but the forum will not allow me to access it ( http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/showthread.php?89-Nissan-Patrol-Reference-Document ) unless I post 25 posts I believe. I don't think I'll have a problem getting those racked up in no time. I suppose the one thing I do have a concern is by blocking the egr this will not cause any problems in the short run (2-3 weeks) until I can learn how to install a boost controller?
I'll thank everyone in advance for your reply and hope to maybe see those around.
