Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

I am ordering my Madman system on Landyonline as we speak.... Andre also needs one so we are getting them for R1220 each for the unit and R321 for the EGT probe. I think it is very cheap!!!

I will then install it and have the exhaust done before dyno day.

Thats an excellent price....the piece of mind it brings will be well worth the money.

Make sure that the probe is mounted somewhere on the manifold, before the turbo, to get the most accurate readings. Also make sure that the probe doesn`t stick in so far as to touch the opposite side of the manifold, as this also effects the accuracy of the reading. Should all be explained in the instructions that come with the kit, but thought it worth mentioning anyhow!

Michael, maybe your car started out with a very conservative tune, and with the upgraded inter-cooler the air density has increased to such an extent that you are now quite badly under-fuelled?

BTW: Most diesel tuners will fit a temporary EGT if your vehicle doesn't have one. They are just as scared of cooking your engine as you are!

Yes at least now I can run in the engine properly before it starts working hard.....

I really cant wait to have it tuned properly, think its going to run nicely

Oh yes, here is the turbo that I have. Maybe someone knows it?
Mitsubishi 49178 54700

Found a couple of sites on the net that states it is a TD05 turbo that is well used on the Patrol's

I also had the Mitsubishi TD05 - AFAIK they're standard issue with the Patrol Alpine kits...

Michael, dis 'n netjiese stukkie werk wat jy gedoen het. Hoop jy kry jou krag probleme vinnig uit gesort.
Dit gee my goeie rede om die selfde pad te loop wanneer wanneer ek my engin gaan oordoen. Die verskil is ek ry rond met my spaar engin en wil die oorspronklike een terug sit. So ek is nie gedruk op tyd nie. Iets om na uit te sien.

That would make perfect sense Christo because the conversion was originally done by Alpine

Dankie Magiel, ja dit is n lekker gevoel as jou werk uitgekom het soos jy beplan het.
Dit is goed as jy nie haastig is nie, hoe meer tyd jy op n rebuild spandeer hoe beter is die resultaat.

Ek glo nou my krag problem kan net by die diesel pomp le en ek het bietjie vir SAC in Centurion n lui gegee. R1250 vir n volledige dyno, ek moet nou net eers my exhaust uit sort dan gaan ek daar draai

Michael soos ek al in 'n vorige thread gese het. Jy sal nie fout maak as jy viper uit laat stelsel op sit nie. Myne is van die turbo tot die vlex pyp 76mm en van daar af agter toe 63mm. Ek het een box in en dit klink vantasties. Abel weet wat hy doen en sy werk is baie netjies.

Ok net so vinnige update.

Ek het gister aand my Madman EGT unit en probe ge installeer en het vanoggend oppad werk toe hom so bietjie getoets.
Teen 110km/h op gelyk pad loop hy so 280 grade en teen n opdraande uit was die hoogste wat ek hom kon kry 390 grade.

Ek gaan vanmiddag so round trip van 100km doen JHB toe en terug so sal beter lesings kan kry as ek bietjie op die oop pad is. So ver lyk dit vir my heeltemal te laag wat dalk die under fueling kan bevestig?

Sal my lesings post na my JHB trip.

Die Patrol is in geboek Dinsdag by TNT vir n 76mm pyp van voor tot agter en dan wil ek hom Vrydag vat na SAC toe in Centurion vir die dyno
