Zd30 catch can boost gauge and Dawes valve

[Teamdjbilo]

Hi all

I have a 02 GU patrol with the zd30 motor with the egr blocked.

So I have installed the egt gauge and put the boost gauge in only to find I put the boost gauge in wrong and now need to mod this and from what I have found I may require Dawes valve. But from what I can see this is no different to the boost controller I have coming.
I maybe wrong but not sure. Then I will weld a bit in to attach hose correctly.

Then comes the oil catch can I keep looking but can't find the best way to attach the catch can and not sure where or how.

As I do not have enough posts to allow me to access manuals yet any help would be greatly appreciated. Looking at doing this all this hopefully next few days. Apart from the boost controller as it hasn't arrived yet!

Many thanks in advance.
Simon

Check out Chaz's website, I found it a great help, it tells you everything you need to know and has some good clear pictures on how to set it up http://www.chaz.yellowfoot.org/zd30_engine_problems.htm

Or maybe Mudski has some pics, to help you .

Got a similar problem. Need some parts pic to see where all the parts go back in the engine I didn't pull apart

You can mount the catch can just behind the air filter box using some
gal brackets from bunnings , The wood type with holes everywhere
Boost guage needs to be zero to 30 psi, no minus boost
Make sure your EGT guage is in "C" not "F" like me
Once you have everything set up let us know what your Patrol
is doing and we {forum} can walk you through setting up Dawes etc.
Dawes controlls boost and boost determines EGT.

There is another picture of my egt and boost gauge installed on my dash, all tho my boost gauge goes into vacuum which I know I have wrong but can not find a fitting to weld into the pipe.

Should be a spot in the engine bay in front of the passenger on an upright steel plate.
Not familiar with the boost controller, others will know.
That guage house might sit behind steering wheel.
Might be able to drill & tap on boost side some where. check archives for area
