Got a DTS. Seems to be powering along OK

I know a man with a custom made intercooler that will bolt straight onto that system.

You get the rest of the kit from DTS for about $260, GU Bonnetscoop fitted, then the IC From Anderw, and you thought you were smiling before?

Roachie,

That was the reasoning I was thinking afterwards. I did a little trial on the way. I had the c/control set on 114 by GPS as I was running late on on a rather longish hill it cut out at 88 kphand I had to go to 4th. On the way home I could not resist so crossed the freeway and gave it another run under same conditions. Crusied over the top in fifth at 107kph. That will do me fine.

Cheers

Roachie, Just amazing isnt it, you know if you keep spending money on these nissans they can actually creep up to NEAR toyota standard
eventually !

HAHAHA LOL

not in my opinion. I'll swap you my patrol for yours for an hour and then lets see who's smiling col baby

hey muzza, i wouldnt waste my time in a swap as i have driven the turbo and own a S/C and i am the one smiling, i leave turbos behind every day even when towing my camper trailer, and in low revs still have the tourqe and power that a turbo doesnt offer untill at least 1500 plus rpm. At idle the S/C puts out 8 psi and the turbo nil, plus i can boost that by putting a smaller pully on which only takes 5 minutes. ha. ha. ha. Col

If u reckon mate, but you'd have to be running 15 pounds and a safari intercooler (dyno 110kw@back wheels) to keep up

Hi Muzza, i think you miss the point 4wding is not about flat out top speed its about tourqe and usable power without flogging your vehicle, i have 1000 revs in the lower end of the rev range that a turbo doesnt do nothing for, this forum is full of people trying to get more power from turbo diesals in the lower rev range the S/C solves this problem, i can go down to 800 revs in top gear put my foot down and away she goes no hesitation, also the S/C takes away the chatter patrols get when they get down to 1100 1200 revs. Also i can keep the extractors which adds to the economy of the vehicle, also no need for an intercooler to restrict cooling. I take it you havent driven a S/C diesal if you get the chance take one for a drive and you will be pleasantly surprised. If a turbo blows up no more driving S/C take the belt off and keep on going. There are some compitition 4wds which run S/C and they inject lpg into the unit and they are leaving turbos in thier dust as they have a wide range of usable power which is full of torqe. Col

spose we'll have to agree to the the verdict; each to their own?

Vinnie, go for it mate,
Best thing in my opinion is a turbo. My baby has one and the difference is fantastic, like some earlier 4b's mentioned, from owning a non turbo 4.2 d to a turbo. Non turbo was 2nd and 3rd gears up hills dropping speed rapidly to staying in 5th gear now with the turbo GQ.
No regrets here as far as torbo goes.

good luck..... Angelo
