What did you do to your Patrol today!

[Yeti's Beast]

Finally got around to fitting a Tillix set up.
Went to the P4x4 show and shine yesterday and I was the only car there without some form of manual boost control.
Safely set to 16psi and now has stable boost like it should of in the beginning.

Good move.
Stock ECU then?
Tillix & needle, guess so?

[Yeti's Beast]

Yes both needle and tillix
Needle is 1/4 out , max boost 16 psi.
No limp mode and is zippier than before
With 380,000k I don’t think it would be wise to push the boost any higher
Oh and yes stock ecu

So a few ks there, DI (presume) or CRD?

[Yeti's Beast]

2003 Di
Only mechanically work done has been a clutch at 330,000k
Has always done long trips between Adelaide and Geelong prior to me buying it off my sister. Now it’s my work car.
It used to tow a 21 foot van and has been around Australia.
We tow a small Jayco Hawk.
Now it’s had the tillix, egr done, swirl valve removed. K&n airfilter.
2 more things on my list to do.
Catch can and a larger exhaust.

So you have a boost gauge and maybe not egt gauge yet, but egt probe a good idea when doing larger exhaust. These mods, as you probably realize, and especially the larger exhaust will provide a good run. These were very impressive for me (CRD). I now have ecu remap and Procharge stage 3. These mods you mention will provide a be very good result and value for money spent .

Are you thinking EGR plate?
Scan tool?
Are you holding 16psi maxB under load up hill (hauling) or just max boost when you give it a squirt?

[Yeti's Beast]

Once I do the exhaust I plan to fit an EGT gauge, I have blocked the EGR with a plate.
I haven’t driven far yet to determine what the boost is doing. So far I have found that the max psi while driving is 16 and cruising at 80 is 10 psi
Till there is a load and it goes back up to 16.
I need to get on a road that’s 100 so I can see what pressure it sits on at cruise

OK 10psi @ 80kpm look reasonable your cruise @100kph may sit around 12psi (maybe a little higher) at this needle setting. 1/4 turn would provide quite a responsive spool. Did you set needle @ idle, so the arm just lifted off stop and the maybe closed slightly?

Your maxB can and should occur at revs > 2000rpm say in 3rd under load. Good if it can come on Max boost around 1800 rpm. Why I asked about your max boost under load (hauling) was because that is where you should set max boost (tillix) without getting limp. For DI max boost of 16 psi (hauling) without limp is good. Put a tow behind you may have to come back a bit on boost as the ECU may not be able to keep the fuel up to it. This is where a remap is of value. But as I said before the mods you are thinking of will be good.

Need to have a scan tool to manage and erase any fault codes.

When you do you exhaust, IMO block off egr at exhaust manifold as well (block both ends).

Cheers
Thanks for all the advice, I really appreciate it.
During the week I will give it a good drive and see how it all performs.
I just ran down and picked my daughter up from work. Admittedly it’s only 5 I each way but the car is much zippier

Just gave it a bit of overdue TLC. Serviced it, put a filter kit through it. Thanks to @mudski for these kits !!
Also done Brake / clutch fluid. Also fitted up flexiblade wipers.
