Thanks for nothing!

Try here mate, come and join the family. www.patrol4x4.com/forum/

Wayne, join up it cost you nothing and put your post up there, you will be surprised in the feed back you will get, someone from here originally put me onto it and its been the best informative forum since. Give it a try, its good to get honest opinions from guys who have had plenty of experience with patrols, I guarantee you wont look back.

have you done a search of these forums: Site Link ?

Hi Wayne,

You're not wasting your time with EO; sometimes the right people don't read a post.

Currently there is a national EO members gathering which may account for a lack of responses. Also your original post started off sounding like a wedding proposal so maybe some folk didn't even check it out? (Unlike me who read both your posts even though I have no knowledge about turbos ;-)))

Wayne
Try United Fuel Injection, they modify the turbo for more go.

MM a fella called "Doggy Tease", Rick is his real name. He's just had it done.

Truckster gave you the link to "Outerlimits" and told you to check out the info supplied by Dzltec, if you chose not to check it out more fool you. Other posters on Outerlimits with specific turbo info include pgs4wd and one of the guys from Ontrack 4x4, www.ontrack4x4.net.au/ they have lots of petrol turbo Patrol info but also diesel as well.
Both Denco and MTQ also do turbo upgrades, let your fingers do the walking and talk to them as well then make an informed choice.
EO isn't into tech as much as some forums and that's not a criticism it's an observation but slinging barbs won't win you any brownie points.
Regards Andrew.

Apologies due Wayne-o.
I was party to the frivolity: I guess that's part of how I cope.
Best wishes eh. Looks like your second post may be more productive.

Wayne-o,

Mate, I agree with babs and strongly recommend having a look at joining Patrol4x4 forum. It contains a wealth of knowledge and you don't get the typical Toyota / Nissan rhetoric that is involved on other forums.....There is also many blokes on there that have done Turbo/Exhaust and many other upgrades that may interest you. I have to admit wrt technical info on my truck it is the only place I go now. Good reliable info.....I hope this helps?

Wayne it is usual to get heaps of useful info on this forum. Therefore I think the problem originated from the way you asked. Now don't get all upset over what I'm about to say but you presented as a hen pecked bloke who had no idea of what he wanted or needed. An airhead approach and people made fun of you. Do some research and formulate a bit of a plan and then ask for help with it, not a what do I want, what will it do where do I get it? approach. Good luck and for my bit I wouldn't even think of changing the OE turbo.

Try Robson Bros 4WD in Bentley, they have a good reputation in Perth - particulary for advice and he often writes a colum in Western 4WDriver.

He should be able to assist you and give you the facts from the horses mouth about the best type of turbo and intercoolers to use.

Hi Wayne,
Dont be detered by one goose mucking up the forum, it really is a good avenue for advice. If no-one can help you here, I believe there is a forum called outer limits and I know one of those guys has a lot of experience with Turbo upgrades on 4.2 patrol 2005.
Good Luck
Mike

Wayne O,
The search function in this Forum is also bound to give you a good insight into the extent of discussion previously on an issue and may provide relevant info. Eg. I run a search just a moment ago for "gu turbo upgrade" - if you use the inverted commas at the front and end of a search string you will get a list of posts containing an exact match of those words together. This search string resulted in this find -

Site Link

which had only 1 match.
Whereas a different search string that was broader, eg. "gu turbo" resulted in a much longer results list containing 38 posts matching these terms exactly - see

Site Link

Hope these posts can help put you in the right direction.

Wayne, I have used the upgraded turbo from MTQ, run much lower EGT's than a mate with the same HP, but not a bigger turbo. About 220 degrees F was the difference over the same course etc. 3" exhaust, mandrel bent of course, bigger dump pipe, fuel pump timing mods. Have now fitted an I/C, thanks AWill4x4, runs another 50 degrees F cooler at 110 K/hr. Next on the agenda, LPG injection, from what I have read etc, 20% more power, 15% better fuel economy, unless you drive it harder all the time as I will, lol. Depends on what you are wanting as to which way you go. Hope my two cents worth helps a little?

Wayne, sorry, didn't list prices as I have bits done by mates etc, and some at trade prices, so it wouldn't have been relevant. John

ROFLMAO

I nominate Wayne-o (Pilbara WA) for the inaugural "Dummy Spitter of the Year" award hahahahahahaha

As remarked above, learn to be a bit more patient.

I just had to check the address bar to make sure that I wasn't in the Overlander campfire forum by mistake.
Thankfully I wasn't.

Would now be a good time to suggest you trade up to a Toyota factory turbo diesel :@)
I friend of mine has a 2003 td42 and fitted a safari turbo and exhaust manifold to it b4 upping boost and fuel.....it goes alot better....no proof or dyno,...if you put too much heat in though, the water cooling around the head wont cope, and your td42 will get hot under the collar like its owner....

Motson's in Brisbane will rebuild and upspec your turbo - prolly on a replacement basis due to your geo situation.

Ship in a 3" exhaust (Beaudesert exhaust have a great rep) to bolt up, then you're away.

They actually run less boost for better figures - ring 'em for dyno sheets.

I drive one that's been done by them and the difference is amazing. (160 odd kw - can't remember the ft/lb off the dyno sheet)

Is the Delambre in the background of your avatar?

Wayne, there has been heaps of discussion in the past and one of the most prominent proponents of the charge is Roachie who has been at Warraweena. Why don't you MM him? He has upgraded his actual turbo. Moggs has had a tune up as has Truckster. Plenty of extra power. Truckster posted the links to dyno printouts too. Look too at Outerlimits as it has heaps of performance related info.
