GU 2005 4.2TDi, PowerUP Options???

and a bigger radiator.....hahahaha + heaps of other dumb shyte to keep the temp down!!!!
I luv my GU, but I'd be happier if the temp stayed under 100c 100% of the time!!

P.S - The other fellow had the work done somewhere different to me...

Cheers.

do these changes effect warranty and also does this person (the one that drove up from Victoria) have to drive back up if something stuffs up on those mods?

Tiger,

Your talking very simple mods. But anything you do it most likely will void your warranty. Suspension, tyres, rims, if it's not factory, you will have problems with Nissan. Nothing should stuff up in those mods as theres nothing really to stuff up. Blanking off the EGR just kills the environment quicker (sorry greenies).

I had no doubt that my mods would do my clutch in. But in all honesty and in my own opinion, the TD42 is one of the toughest motors. They only kill them running 18-20 psi with big fuel pouring in. Overfueling them can cause problems. I've used the same mob twice now without a problem. He will only run a max of 12psi unless otherwise requested.

I did 25000 k's or so on the powerup. It ran beautifully. Browny (anor member on this site) purchased the vehicle. Have a chat to him and see what he thinks. I also did 120,000 in the GQ with exactly the same work.

I should have my dynos laying around somewhere from both trucks. I can shoot them to you at some stage.

Cheers

Chris.

Simple answer - will it fubar your warranty - YES.

Tiger,

Can vouch for Chris's info a top motor to do some "basic" mods too, much more driver friendly. Obviously the waranty thing is an issue, but as Chris has mentioned a very tuff motor the 4.2 oiler, and as long as you don't go silly with the boost I reckon the motor actually runs and breaths better than from the factory.

P.S. You can get me at davidbrown at myaccess dot com dot au if you wan't to have a drive of mine and see what you think.

Agree with you truckster. Ours is planned to go there when it's out of warranty and have seen their work and dyno figures on other vehicles. Pretty impressive stuff!

Yeah i was thinking the same thing Rob about going petrol but what about milleage from the tank?? How much do you get out of a tank in the bush with aircon running at the same time?

ps. thanks for all your replies everyone

Tiger,
my patrol gives approximately 6 ltrs/100klm on bitumen without full length steel roof rack (5,5with rack) this drops to around 4 off road hard driving with air. I have installed a long range tank, 159ltrs, which allows me to fill up when the price is at its lowest and just top up other times.
Regards Rob

So what your saying is it does about 20L/100km in city and 18L/100km offroad. What figures do you get when towing?

ps. I took average for 4.2TDi at 14L/100km and added what you claim or have I misread something?
