2005 patrol 4.2td turbo upgrade

Start by pulling out the hiiiiiiclones and installing them up your exhaust, that should improve your fuel economy. ( Ok, I'm kidding about the exhaust bit, best you make stubby coolers out of them, about all they're good for )
Next.... what state/city are you in ?

Gday haka mate my 03 4.2 td patrol became alot happier after the snorkel fitted and even better with a k & n filter not too sure on filtration qaulity of kn filter but goes good enough for me with no other engine mods cheers

G'day Hard, how are ya?.
We recently got the upgrade from United Fuel Injection. Bloody good value i reckon. Full turbo upgrade, full three inch zorst and the dyno tune has made a very big difference to the Patrol. Ours in an 06 4.2tdi wagon and it is a completely different car to what comes out of the factory.
Best way is to describe it as a slug ex factory and bloody brilliant after the upgrade.
Fuel usage was a problem fora few weeks after it was done tho,,,,just had to keep putting the foot down and grinning everywhere i went....tho it is slowly getting better now that SWMBO keeps telling (or is that screaming..:) ) me to drive it for betterr economy......
Just a happy customer,,,,no affiliation,,,yada yada yada..

Hi Hard Yaka,

I've got a 2004 Nissan GU 4.2 TD ute and recently (4 months ago) got a stage 2 power upgrade from MTQ in Perth as I've got nearly a tonne of slide on camper on it most of the time and needed more power. Their stage 2 upgrade involves re- machining the turbo and replacing both wheels with bigger ones, bigger dump valve and 3" mandrel bent exhaust system

Power is up approx 22% and torque approx 18% which is a bit under what MTQ advertise but the driveability is significantly better. I can now cruise at 100kph with the camper on in cruise control and it hardly bats an eyelid at hills but strong headwinds still take their toll a bit.

When passing through Toowoomba recently where MTQ have their headquarters, I dropped my vehicle into them for a checkup and they spent 6 hours on it replacing a blown exhaust gasket, reset the fuel pump and boost pressures then put it over the dyno again - all at no charge which I feel was pretty special.

Economy wise, I'm getting approx 40km more per tankfull (90 litres maintank) but am also driving it faster and harder as I have more power so I'm pretty happy. As you know, economy can be very variable with headwinds and hills when carrying or towing a big load.

Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with the results and happy to recommend MTQ for a Nissan 4.2 litre diesel upgrade. If you want more info, give me a buzz on 0407 423 163. I'm in Melbourne until 8th Oct then heading back to Perth
