Nissan Patrol Motors

its the same good ol' motor.. But keep your Turbo and IC for the new one, the OEM nissan one doesnt produce the same power output..

And if you dont want to keep the IC, I'll have it!

Chris, not all cheese sandwiches are the same cheese. The GU factory turbo engine is different to the GQ in it's basic set-up, not with standing the GQ never being turbocharged. The GU has markedly larger gudgeon pin diameters and therefore, small end "bearing" area is greater than the GQ. This is to further ensure the engine will live well on a diet of forced induction. A measure of longevity, you might say, built into the engine. Now, the factory turbo is very conservatively tuned, with modest boost levels and fuel settings. However, with a knowledable dyno-tuner, who knows his stuff, can markedly improve upon the little Garrett blower on the GU. It is quite capable of supplying boost around the 14psi mark, but you would not want to go that high. Set up correctly, the factory turbo will develop more low down torque than the bigger after-market turbo's, that are better in the top end of the rev range.
Chow.

Will, how far did you get with the intercooler research? Currently,I am doing much the same thing. Experimenting with up-grades and fuel settings etc and when that is satisfactory would like to add the I/C when funds become available.
Cheers.
