Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Guys,

Just wondering if it is possible to pretty much bolt on the intercooler and pipework from ZD30 Patrols and Pathfinders, onto a brand new ZD30 Nissan Navara Ute. I have heard the turbos are different between the models i.e. Patrol and Pathfinder have a variable vane unit, but im not interested in changing the turbo, just putting an intercooler on. Anyone know how much it would cost brand new from nissan?

Thanks

Anything from ni$$an is going to be a lot of money - u tried chasing down wreckers - they may have a few rolled/smashed up new ones?? would definitely be a LOT cheaper???

TOM

Nissan will be heaps. Probably cheapest to go to a jap import wrecker, pick up a little cooler from something, and just get an exhaust place to make up some connecting pipes. The just join the with large flexible hose and heavy duty hose clamps.......

try search or one of the guys here makes custom jobs with his tig i think?

bogged may know

getting a gu scoop for a top mount?

Ive got no problem adapting an intercooler off another car, hell I fit a 500x400 core to the front of my Bundera, just thought it would be easier to get something that would fit with minimal fuss. Ill probably use a patrol scoop, I assume a gu patrol is the one with the zd30 in it? forgive my nissan 4wd ignorance cause im a toyota man.

I notice the navara zd30 puts out 110kw and around 315Nm, while the patrol unit with the different turbo puts out only 7kw more 117kw, but shitloads more torque around 350Nm, i assume this is due to the variable vane turbo boosting earlier. What power gain do you think ill notice, perhaps an extra 10kw and a bit more torque?
