Rosco,
Gday mate.
On the GU, the E.G.R was bloked off, 3 inch exhaust mandrel bent to the dump pipe. Original dump pipe. Turbo running 12psi, pre and post dyno and fuel tuned to dyno specs. Also connected pyro and boost gauge but did not include purchase of gauges.
There is a post with the results a couple of weeks ago. From memory, I had around 950ftLb torque, and 154hp at the rear
wheels. Reach peak torque at 1800rpm and holds steady for around 2800rpm. At 1350rpms it already was at around 800ftLbs. HP really climbed at 1600rpms.
Towed the recently purchased 2nd handy Aussie Swag which tares in at around 650kg's unloaded. Running 285 MTR's, 3 inch lift and have most of the accessories I need fitted. The
water tank in the swag had 60L of
water in it, and I had 3 passengers, ran 100 kph the whole way home in 5th without even pushing it, including the long sloping climbs on the highway. Max EGT's hit about 500 which is reasonable. If I knocked it back to 4th on one of the hills EGT's would not have hit 500.
Fuel economy has increased from 7.75k/l to 8.47. And that's probably with a slightly heavier foot, can't help it.
So all in all it cost $1,900 which included GST. This is the second time I've had it done to a Patrol and I'm happy. Hope that helps you out.
Cheers
Chris.
