Fitting a genuine Nissan turbo to a N/A TD42

[AB]

Now It's time for Macgyver...lol

Below is the oil drain pipe hose going from the turbo to the sump (Sump plug threaded already). notice how the hose is kinked which will restrict oil draining. Apparently there is a proper hose that is pre bent for this....You may have to go direct to Nissan to get a hose that is pre bent on 45 degree angles or you can Macgyver style as per the other pics further down.



Simply cut a small length of copper pipe....Spend some time sanding the sharp edges off so it does not pierce the rubber hose...



Now, insert that into the OIL drain hose to stop it kinking...Ensure you slide the copper pipe to the exact spot the kink will be using a screw driver.



See below....MUCH BETTER!!!!



What is this???

What is that filter thing that runs into the inlet manifold flange????

I asked some pretty knowledgeable Patrol owners today and no one knew...



Bolted the turbo up, put all the oil and water lines in and ready for the air filter assembly and 3" exhaust...Coming soon!

Installed boost gauge today and did a DIY thread here about it....

Air filter in with a 4" reducer to 3" from snorkel to air filter inlet.

This was a nightmare job to chop the reducer and snorkel elbows down, trim off the flange on the air filter housing all within a 65mm gap.

Breather hose connected and now just need to do the pyro gauge and fit the exhaust!!!!

One more, just incase...

Coming together nicely but crikey mate you coulda' resized the photo's!

Put a hose clamp around the outside of the oil drain hose where the piece of copper tube is to stop the tube from moving.

I don't think that thing on the inlet manifold flange is standard, I've never seen one fitted to a Patrol before.

It looks like some sort of filter, how many hoses were connected to it?
