Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi Just fitted a gu turbo, gu pump and intercooler to my gq and I am wanting to get it dyno tuned.

How much can I expect to pay and does anyone have any reccommendations?

I was also going to fit a boost and pyro gauge, should I do this before getting it dynoed?

thanks Alan

Hey AC, how did all of the parts go together, easy? Are you happy with the difference in power/torque?

See if you can post up a before and after dyno run from the workshop!!

sure no problem, just driving it as it is it feels far more responsive and crisp, I would have been happy with the straight 4.2 if I was just doing flat terrain work and in the bush, for that it was good , however hitting hills on the road was doing my head in. One day I may look at just upgrading the turbo to get a little more performance. To date it has costed me $900 for the Gu turbo, $700 for the GU injector pump and GU injectors, $700 for th 3inch exhaust and about $500 for the front mount intercooler setup. I am wanting to put a pyro and possibly a boost gauge even though I am only wanting to set it at around 9 to 10psi, whether I really need a gauge i dont know. the other option instead of a boost was a water temp gauge. Just fromthe comments of the forum the standard nissan one isnt that accurate when the temp starts to rise. Mine sits on a third day in day out even after mods.
My patrol is not a comp vehicle, it does its far share of bush work and has a few love bumps here and there but it is a great car. I havent done many trips to date with it as I just dont want to do too much without the pyro connected or not being dynoed.

But I am definetly interested to see the results from the dyno, have never had one done before hence my thread on how much to expect. I have never done a turbo before or really know much about diesels but it was easy, i still have a little work to do with piping from turbo to intercooler. I run the standard dual battery and I am using a diesel box which sits behind passenger light, it is just tight to get piping through there. A bit more knowledge on intercoler piping would been handy, again I am a novice to diesels, turbos and intercoolers. I have always stuffed around with chev hiluxes and 304 patrols.

Yeah, i hear ya on the intercooler plumbing. I'd have to say that a large majority of the work/time on my 180B was spent on intake plumbing. PITA!!

Great to see you're happy with the conversion, gives me a bit more inspiration to do it myself rather than fork out 5 big ones for someone to do it for me. Can i ask where you sourced your parts??

go to dieseltec. Could not recommend Andy more highly. And i am from perth. I got a modded gu pump and turbo off him and his service was exceptional. Very Happy.

Cheers

ill be heading to dieseltec soon

parts are off this forum and ebay except for the intercooler which is an autobarn job.
