3.0lt GU Patrols - Grenade Facts

[mudski]

Does anyone know how much all the precautionary mods cost?

About 4hunge for the lot should be about right. Including gauge/s. Also depending if your doing the work too.

I was not going to do the whole NADS thing.... But now it's done.. I cannot believe the difference in performance. My Troll just wants to keep pulling..... about to do a 1500KM run with my camper in tow... cannot wait to see how she performs now..... Take it from me... I am the biggest sceptic when is comes to these things.... Like to leave things as the factory intended, but so glad I done the NADS... You just have to do it.....

Looks like I might need a new intercooler.. but thats on the wish list right now....

You'll be glad you changed your intercooler, its chalk and cheese imo,
EG. How can you maintain boost if its leaking ??????
Your fuel figures will improve as well, check out the Vendor thread for Diesel Smart C/O intercoolers

does upgraded intercooler lower EGT's ?

does upgraded intercooler lower EGT's ?

Yeah. Lower the egt's faster when letting off the gas and also when on the gas they would be slightly lower depending on size and flow rate of the ic.

Your better off getting all the bits separately.

• Dawes from me.
• Needle valve from Dependable distributors in Adelaide for $93.50. I'm currently testing numerous, cheaper valves out...
• Catch catch from Ebay, Provent 200, DON"T get the kit with the hoses, get them from your local hose place. Much cheaper.
• Boost and EGT gauge/s. MUST be done first.
• EGR plate, from me..

Hey mudski, can you explain why the egt and boost guages need to be done first? Cheers mate.

BP say there diesel is cleaner however I don't think there's any real difference between it and the Caltex/ Shell product. I would however steer clear of 'bio'. I'm no expert here but have done some reading and bio might not burn as clean as real diesel.
As a precaution I wil be fitting a Water Watch separator shortly. It's a bit expensive but cheaper than a blown motor ..... that's just my bit! Incidentally .... great forum!

PS: for the moment, when outback, I fill a Jerry using a Mr Funnel. If there's no residue in the funnel filter I then fill the GU directly from the pump. No problems so far.

Gday coogs, any idea what the diesel in Darwin is like?

Just noticed a tiny leak on my IC. Was originally gonna clean it but now think it's time for replacement.
Diesel smart have a common rail one on eBay, was surprised they told you they don't do a CRD one. Considering getting one.

Is it true that y61 zd30 engine is not good at high speed which cause blown/crack head?well i got 2 friend that have the same engine as mine its been 10-11years and they aint got any overheating,blown gasket or crack head..because they dont drive over 100km/h ..mine just got top overhaul last week..i think its because i push the car too hard on the highway like 140km/h lately..
