Outer Limits 4x4 Board

so is that the finished product?

what did the whole setup cost in the end?


ended up free for me, i got lucky sourcing some items and so much work from this build im still getting interesting custom jobs.

but if you want to something similar 2.5 - 3k in parts oh an i blew up a transmission that ...

ok all the torque converter was shredded will try and get some pictures, i wonder is there a better torque converter available that can handle the power ?

I Got a second-hand transmission and torque converter from a 93 GQ ok some differences were :

1. ring gear has different holes for the torque ...

I actualy have a few laser cut manifold plates for the tb42 I made a few manifolds , if interested in a set of plates about $80 maybe cheaper than getting a single set cut.

Have you checked your auto trans fluid and level??

Could be either transmission or transfer from what you've said.

I havent checked the level in a while but even if it was low it would it have not been slow to grab or just slipped a bit rather than poping into nothing ?
I will check the levels ...

Hey Guys

Sadly my 89 model Nissan Patrol GQ Auto ( petrol ) stopped with a bit of a noise just driving up a hill like it kicked out of gear all it does is rev out not engaging in forward reverse 1 2 or drive no gear positions shows any sign or typical noise of engaging into a gear the different ...

I think something was lost in the translation to youtube like maybe the brightness and the bass note of the exhaust .

let me know what you think .

Cheers

hi i dont think the carb will work that well pressurized as it works with the floats and bowl type stuff, just saying coz we experimented witha delorto carby and it started pissing out fuel from every seal.
might be able to build/modify carby to work pressurized.


I read of people building a ...

Your absolutely correct the ...

The Turbo its in ... 0-100 in 4.6 seconds

What a huge project this has been making the manifold my New Tig welder broke and had to wait a couple of weeks for a new one, but its all working again now .

I am making a couple more manifolds and its much easier now I have one installed I know exactly ...

I was hooking up a few things on the weekend built a carby hat adapter and changed the LPG mixer to a different type, few more pipes fitted to connect up the intercooler.

While I was in this process a thought occurred to me all these vacuum lines wont be under vacuum with respect to out side ...

So now the top mount is getting very close to done, I can see that one could run an oil return to the top of the Head , is this the way to go or should i be adding a fitting to the side of the sump for oil return ?

I plan on getting the oil feed from a t piece on the oil pressure sensor , I wonder ...

Been busy welding on the weekend , tig , mig and even the oxy for heating up pipes before bashing the crap out of them to get them into shape.

Hmm well only have a couple more welds to do and thats one down 4 more to go , a lot more work than i imagined but its all good fun.

Have not cleaned up ...

I thought at the time well its another interesting turbo hookup and I want to be able to try some different hardware to compare performance.

TB42 low mount manifold uses a couple of piston ring seals between the two halves, the piston rings seals it up allowing for movement this stops cracking as ...

Rather tricky to fit in any intercooler I have found , but with a bit of stuffing around and a plasma cutter :) .. I have managed to install this one.

I thought I would get it in place and look at sorting out the pluming so that come turbo installation day all the rest of the components are ...

you can add a clutch to that list

Actually he's right. And not a cheap arse one either. With the ponies this thing should be pumping out when you've finished you will need a heavy duty one particularly if you intend pumping up the boost. I'm running one of those brass button clutches and it seems ...

Those 12 mm header plates sound like a good idea as there is nothing worse than having a manifold that leaks all the damn time. Anyone looking to do such a build should latch onto the $80 ones being offered as that sounds very cheap to me.


The Stainless was four times the cutting and material ...

im also doing this coversion soon to my 93 gq patrol :D have the turbo its a t3/t4 57 trim, i ported the wastegate out as it was about the size of a 5 cent piece.

according to online calculators it should be on full boost by 1500rpm and flow to redline.

what will be required to "beef up" the ...

Just a quick post here with some pics of the 3 inch installed

Made a 3inch to 2inch reducer to connect up the original exhaust at the bottom of the firewall this will simply unbolt for installing the turbo dump pipe on turbo install day which is not that far off .

still have to weld up a couple ...

Can anyone else help out with real costings?

So far we've got $485 manifold, $300 3" exhaust, what's a T3 worth, front mount intercooler, BOV, plumbing, MSD (or similar), etc? What else have i forgotten?

How would TB42e with T3 run without MSD? Without intercooler?

I'm thinking i may be able to ...

Ever heard a TB42 with just a set of headers attached ? great sound very Loud

Ok well removed the old exhaust figured I would get the 3 inch in up to the firewall adapt the current header with a 2inch to 3 inch converter so its ready for next weekends dump pipe and turbo fitting.

While I am now ...

To make this project economical I am building several manifolds for other people that have expressed interest, I will be posing pictures as soon as i figure out how to do that ( the pictures not the manifold )


how many of these manifolds are you planning to build?
im very keen in getting my ...

when will you know a price on the flange plates? would you be willing to sell one? otherwise tis chop chop to my hitech headers which id rather not do.

Anyone else interested in a Set ?

$80.00 will cover mild steel versions I have not got pricing on stainless ones yet they may be a bit more ...

Making the TB42 headplates the later cutting business part of the job.

Using CAD I made up manifold templates and printed them out cut them from the paper and checked them against the head , made adjustments and reprinted here you see ( hope this works ) the tb42 head with paper templates.

Hi guys ,

Thought I would share with you all my TB42 Turbo Build project for those whom are interested and maybe even get a few ideas and some help from you guys along the way.

Building The Top mount TB42 manifold

I have not owned the 1990 GQ Patrol for very long but on getting it roadworthy had a few bushes that needed replacing and so I got them all done with some after market Neoprene bushes .

Now I'm not sure if this is normal because I didn't drive it before the RWC and have not been in other Nissan ...

Fixed at last Yay !, Swapped over the LPG Tank on the weekend and it was the tank Valve obviously not opening properly but just enough to fill the line but under load or heavy acceleration it would run out of gas.

Well it isn't RWC without the electric lock off on the tank if it has the provision for one.
You shouldn't be getting any gas flow at all if the lock off is not powered up!!!!
There is something up there.
I hate to be mean but judging by the knowlege you have and what you are calling the ...

ok here is an update :

I replaced the gas expander ( I had a spare one ) and cut off gas relay thinking that it was not operating properly.

Petrol now seems to be running fine with out any problem so it suggests that its in the gas system.

On Gas its running fantastic up until it hits this ...

Hi I am new this forum and New to owning a FWD , I got the Nissan Patrol LWB 1990 with a cracked head and got a new head machined up, fitted it myself new gaskets, new head bolts all torqued to speck in order.

Now its been running a few weeks and not perfectly had a bit of a miss when at idle on ...
