Turbo Upgrades for the GUIV TD42Ti

Like Darren and Andy said Dowie. Score the parts your self and then take it to Diesel Tec, they seem to know their shit. Also take heed of what nissannewby says. In the new year I will book my car at Diesel tec or a tune up personally. Just to see what they can do, that JPC can't where I usually take my car.

I've personally noted a lot of stuff from this thread in case i do something like this in the future.

Depending on what sort of power you're chasing... JPC have a drive in drive out option for some serious ponies.

Hey Andy. I haven't mate. I only saw that on their facebook page. I dare say it wouldn't be cheap... I'll guesstimate it to be in the $6-8k range...

500+kms on back country roads towing a 1.5t camper......

Rediculous!

That is all.

Ummmmmm.......

Forgot the camper was there for the whole trip. Could not feel it at all!!

Cruised at 105kms all the whole way. Hit 110km zone and had no trouble cruising at 115km/h.

Oh, overtaking Sucked a big one! 125km/h in 5th without thinking about it, just rolled on!

Sik!

EGT sat at around 420c for most of the day and about 22psi.

On a big climb I saw 550c just. Hit 30psi a few times too. But safe, felt safe. Not a stressful drive for me at all.

I can see that fitting a decent intercooler now will help a lot. That cruising temp would drop into The 300s.

It just ate the kms and ate the camper.

Was boggy off the line and going to 4.1s is high on the list to do now, that would probably drop the EGTs too as it would lift the revs better into the power band.

Bloody great drive, really got to know it today Matt. Very pleased mate.

Wife made a stupid comment though....

"Power... Oh we don't need any more Power!"

Silly!

Good to hear you've now felt that the investment paid off Darren. How were your motor temps did the new pump help much?

Yeah but she said that before you did the turbo and now she loves chirping second. She will love the new fuel pump you've ordered Darren and at $150 who could argue with you!!

Sounds good daz, think i need to do something with mine this year, towing the camper past Cann River got hosed by a D4D hilux towing a MASSIVE Haynes hunter up a moderate hill. She's certainly not quick by any means and definatly doest have an effortless feel to cruising along atm. . .
