Turbo Upgrades for the GUIV TD42Ti

[AB]

Just a little drive. I got out a few times to lift the bonnet. A little bit of smoke from stuff burning the crap off.

Playing with the boost controller to find its range and I think it's about 22psi now. The cut off dump pipe is very close the the clutch line and I gave it a fair go from a rolling start in second and it pulls well. Much more lively than before. Boosting from low it's a bit boggy like the other one but I don't have a pyro and don't know what my EGTs were but when I went to pull up I had no clutch!! I think I just cooked the fluid in the line close to the dump though. A couple of pumps and it was back.

Called it a day. I'll limp it into the exhaust shop tomorrow before giving it another push.

I did a U turn and did a standing start. At take off the whole car stands up!!! Not just lifting the front left! All 4 wheels seemed to want to lift!! No shit! Like it was in a crouch then stood on takeoff!

It's no race car but I think this thing is going to be a towing beast!

Awesome, no leaks or anything?

Banjo oil feed ok?

So it's been a massive weekend. Phone on 1% but I've plugged in to post this.

Well just inside now. Everything is packed away. The driveway has also had a pressure clean. Got pretty messy so looks great now.

I'd like to thank AB and Nic for a Stella effort yesterday. Could not have got it done without you chaps. Thank you.

A Huge thanks also to NissanNewby! Matt, your a wealth of knowledge coupled with patience show to us plebs. Thanks for your guidance and epic photos to my phone. A huge help mate.

Here is a bit of a photo bomb. Not heaps of pics though gents, we were busy!

Good stuff Darren. Will definitely resort to reading all this if I ever go down this path.
So you're still using the factory cooler ?

And today was the finishing touches.



















So I bought premixed coolant and there I was at the end of emptying the first 5lts of coolant into the radiator. I noted it was pretty thick. Slowly going in I read the label upside down and it was bloody concentrate! WTF?? Damn it. Off with the bottom hose and got most of it out then mixed it 50-50 and refilled.

Turned the key was awesome. Bled the coolant for about 20mimutes.

Happy days!!
