Making a 4.5L Go Better

Post by MjWatt »

Hey,

Well I've decided to keep my 99 GU Patrol 4.5 Petrol / Gas Auto instead of upgrading to a 4.8L, but my trade off on keeping it was that I want to make it go better, a little more punch.

I had a manual before I got the auto and really noticed the difference.

So it's already of Extractors and a 2.5' sports system on it.

Have many ppl chip'd them or upgraded computer or turbo'd?

I know it will all come down to price, but interested to see what other people have done whilst I do my own research.

Cheers,

Michael

wilsy, my wagon was tuned by monster performance in mackay. If you are interested in doing something similar mick at monster is a top bloke, and has helped me out massively. as for the ecu i am running a microtech, but would not recommend it. ViPec seems to be the go as far as ecu's go.

I have heard about the same fuel economy but twice the power.

6-6.5 km/l compared to about 3.5-4km/l for the 4.5 i would say closer to 3 times the power from a stock motor with a lot more potential with a tune or blower :twisted: thats for auto. the best bit is you can load them up or do 120 on the highway and the get the same economy. imo the best money spent, i played with turbos and ecus on my gq and was just a waist of money, it was never reliable
