Fitting a genuine Nissan turbo to a N/A TD42

[OldMav]

Love this thread - I am following this as I am fitting a GU turbo to my NA GU.

Just a few questions -

1. I have a GU HT18 that does not have water cooling. I assume it is from a intercooled GU. Does this mater?
2. Looking for a manifold - cheapest I can get is $600 any idea where a can get one cheaper.
3. Since I bought the turbo with 3" dump pipe and pipe to air filter for only $200 - would I be better to buy one of these TD05 16g and a high mount manifold to suit. Manifold - $295 Turbo $695.

Will this turbo be much better than the standard GU one as I am only going to run 8psi.

Cheers.

With out trying to explain the benefits over the HT18. its probably best to refer you to another forum where its members have done all the homework for you with pros and cons, sizes, how to with the why's and results etc. 3208 post of it so be prepared to have a long read.. but worth the effort if a cheap new proven upgrade over a tied HT18 is what you are intending.

great thread guys

only question I have is how far should u turn the fuel screw for the intial test drive or the drive until you can get it either A dyno'd or B put on a sniffer. I know this would prob depend on how much boost you would be running buts lets just say in my eyes this is the most critical part if it runs to lean things will melt.

cheers guys

That's true for petrol but the opposite for diesel. You will do no harm running a lean mix, you will just be low on power.
Do you have a pyro gauge?
