Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Oh man this a subject that can keep you busy and cost you lots of money if you have this problem. The most important things have already been mentiond, but in my experience these are the main things to look at. 1. Tuning (spesifically the turbo engines). A bad tune will make tour engine run very hot...

I have spoken to expert oil guys about the synthetic vs mineral oil and if they mix or not. Aparantly its a myth that you cannot swith over. I have switched over on previous vehicles I had with no drama. Shell HX7 is actually a blens oil and is a mix of symthetic and mineral oil........ so think it ...

One thing to remember, the more boost you run on, the more blow-by you will have (its just physics).

Im not stressed at all about the oil vapour going through your intercooler and into the engine. It cant do any damage or brock your intercooler. I had a TD42ti once with over 5...

Baie mooi Sean, jou build kom mooi aan!

We are doing some tests on JP's Patrol and my own and I recon we can reach 140kw on the wheels.

Looks like you guys had a great dyno day! Wish I could make it, but had to attend my daughter's dancing consert. So coming back to Peter's combined dyno sheet with all the TD42's combined, I will try to explain what I think is going on there. The NA TD42 is the standard graph for a TD42. This is a c...
