2.8 Lt Turbo Nissan GQ Performance

Tim, Autobarn have them, or look for Turbo Smart on the web. Not sure if it is suitable for the 3lt! Best of luck.

Jim, Very easy to fit, just cut one hose and place the unit inline. The boost is then adjustable. No danger of over boosting, as there is a blow off valve fitted, or should be, to the inlet manifold.(Goldy coloured thing on front of inlet manifold) I have just removed mine as it was lifting at 14lb and I had the boost controller set at 13lb. It would only lift some times, but it was annoying. You should not have this problem unless you did as I did, fit a 3" mandrel bent exhaust. A little bit of power gain, but not really worth it. Much better to fit boost controller. Autobarn are selling these at the moment for $99.00. I had mine fitted by Jim Jones in Morwell, only because I wanted to know exactly what was gained etc, he has a dyno. Any mechanic with a decent knowledge of diesels/turbos should be able to help you, or the iinstructions are pretty clear from memory. Interestingly, I fitted two Hi Clones to my engine, made 2 extra kilowatts on the dyno, but bugger all difference to fuel economy or driveablity, so I had them removed, money back guarantee, and tried the boost controller. Vast difference. Hope this answers your questions. If not, ask and I shall try and answer.

Nick, I would try the boost controller first, then if still not happy, fit the exhaust. The boost controller was OK, it was the blow off valve that was the problem, lifting early. I have removed mine and fitted a boost gauge to keep an eye on things. My exhaust cost $400.00 to make and fit, custom with first muffler before the cross member, to allow for a water tank, it improved drivablity, but it all depends on the cost. Intercoolers are something I am also looking at, pros and cons etc, I can't justify the $1800 or so that Safari want for theirs. Looking at second hand Jap one, probably above the engine to keep the turbo lag as small as possible. A lot of stuffing around though to fit etc. Hope these answer your questions, if not, ask and I shall try to answer for you.

Thanks John, I feel that this is the best way to go also. Thankyou, Nick
