Bit of conjecture about whether this is a patrol or a Bronco.

You'd get a shite load of power out of the 4.5 with a bit if a tickle

I don't think so mate, they're a basic beast with and not very efficient so with modding them your limited with economical mods that improve fuel efficiency...

@ alitis Know a few 4.8s running those figures with enamelled blocks and hair dryers. 14.5 sec, 1/4 miles.
Brand new XY GT couldn't do that, if it did only just. Real world at Calder Park Raceway

All this can only happen in the big sand pit, the Saudi market for go fast stuff is huge, and at 18 cents a litre ATM who cares

I already have a toy TD and the power figures i posted are more to do with power to weight ratio more then anything. I cant see how a big 6cyl motor can produce that much power and still be economical but saying that the 4.8 has a different and more efficient ignition system so its got more options to play with...

I've got the 4.5 but i got something in the works, cam, chromemoly push rods, roller rockers, bigger pletnum chamber and 102mm throttle body and a custom exhaust should produce around 355rwkw. That should be ok for a daily i guess.....

I should add its not a nissan motor lol

How much torque are you looking at with that little tickle up and in what range

Have a search of what a few guys are using in things like the outback challenge etc. Theres some pretty ballsy 4.5s. Definitely not the best engine to mod but Just thought it might be easier to tickle what ya got instead of an engine swap

Clearly not a Nissan motor cos the figures would be better especially with a 4.8 not to mention the mind boggling torque these things can achieve. Superior use to run a turbo 4.2 in one of there cars it had 350hp atw plus a 100hp hit of nos built into the throttle stop.

As Ben-e has asked your better off chasing torque out of a motor in a patrol sure you might have a high power donk but unless she got plenty of torque you are gonna hate it in something like a gu wagon

And you haven't given us any proper details that shit all bolts to something.

Georgias all torque:-)

Should be roughly bout 300 to 400nm

Actually i have spoken bout the motor before just not accessories, LS1, FAST LSXR manifold, 102mm FAST Bigmouth throttle body, Compcams XR259HR cam power curve 800rpm to 5800rpm its more of a towing cam than performance, hows that Matt?? I just haven't worked out if i'm going to make a tuned length try Y extractors with match ported pipes and what size exhaust will have the right air speed to enhance the cams low to mid range torque output...

Those comp cars are just for power not for cruising and arn't very economical.

Forgot to put lol didn't. Just stirring you George
