Sluggish GU 2.8 Turbo Intercooled
Hello and thank you to everyone who commented on my post. You were all right! after much prompting and blowing the bum out of his old Garrett Turbo the young fella decided to get the thing Dyno Tuned. The freshly rebuilt 2.8 coupled up to the new Garrett Turbo (many thanks to Gavin at Rotomaster in Campbellfield) new 3" stainless system, tune box and 18 psi actuator is quite impressive compared to the stock figures produced by Nissan.
Nissan claimed 98kw at the flywheel and 235 Nm of torque, we are now churning out 96kw at the rear wheels with 33" tyres and the best thing!! 409 Nm of torque.
Wow!! the old girl realy gets up and goes, for anyone who says the 2.8 is not worth the effort they should take a ride in this thing. Considering this was all done at home apart from the Dyno work we are quite pleased with the performance gains as well as the increased fuel economy.
My weekends will now be mine again
