Also looking at doing a NADS on it. Fit the dawes valve, oil catch can boost and egt gauge. Could anyone tell me the best spot to put the egt probe on a std exhaust system?

Thx

Most ppl fit the bung hole for the EGT probe just on the bend on the dump pipe about 100mm - 150mm post turbo.
Wait till you get a high flow cat and do things at the same time, You may want to ceramic coat the dump pipe or as some
have done is wrap in exhaust material. Its all about thermo dynamics and keeping the heat where it belongs inside the pipe
and not radiating out, and causing hot spots. . Thats why Ive fitted a turbo beanie keeps the heat inside the turbo and pipe
and also keeps my Aux battery very cool another plus to stop your aux battery exploding. food for thought.

Some battery places wont fix an aux battery your a 3lt TD patrol

You dont need 25 posts to download the manuals there you go download away;
Next check your intercooler if its oily its leaking, Disconnect the battery remove the IC
and rinse with kere or carbie cleaner, dry with the hair dryer before re installing.
You can pressure test by taping up the outlets use a bike pump to introduce a little
air and dunk in a kiddies pong or bath which ever works best for you. Replace all your vacuume hoses
20c a mtr,remembering what goes where. Now remove your MAF sensor with the correct tool and with some spray
from Super Cheap auto and give the wire a decent spray dont touch with your hand or anything else for that matter.
now re assyeble, You really need a boost adaptor so you can fit a boost gauge easily anolg with a EGT gauge ,,either
in a pillow pod or on dash gauge pod, Check what boost youre running, should be about 16psi or there abouts.
re connect the battery order a new tigged OE IC you wont need a big CC IC just a waste of money on a 3 ltr
if you ask me, See how you go after all that

Amazing reply :) thx a lot for that but today i've finally extended my compression fitting and did a comp test on a warmed up engine. While warming up, If i reved her she would produce white smoke:(

Anyway after she was warm i pulled the rocker and glow plugs off and tested each cyl.

300, 310, 320 and 300:animierte-smilies-f

I was told std comp value is 426psi and min is 330psi

I wasnt sure if my ebay comp tester was faulty or my welding on the extension was so i dropped some oil in the first cyl and tried again, 420psi :..(
Looks like i've got fucked rings!! and will need to fix that below any mods.

I had a bad feeling from the start, unfortunately the day i took her for a test drive she didnt show any smoke only the power issue that i assumed was a leaking STD IC or something else due to it not having NADS.
Anyway, Would anyone in WA be able to recommend a good place i can get the engine parts cleaned, head machined checked etc and get a rebuild kit from? I've been looking around and got some prices already but maybe you guys know other better places:)

Again thx everyone for their input. will keep posting and maybe start a new build thread:)

Or anyone got a good ZD30 i could use?
