MT4x4

thanks mate that has cleared up the things i wasnt 100% on. I work out roughly it will cost me about $1100 to do everything, might be 300 bucks less if I tig weld up my own aluminium catch can, wont have a fillter in it like the provent 200 but. once i get everything, i will start the mod thread you suggested so all you guys can check it out. thanks alot again rumcajs and dronus cheers matt

Im pretty new to the modification seen on the zd30 motor so im pretty open to any ideas or info on this, im guessing it is most likley the first time this zd30 motor setup has been attempted in a navara too. i forgot to say aswell rumcajs that the vacum line from the vaccum pump come on the motor, the line runs into a black canister fillter looking thing bolted just above the a/c compresor. i have seen a pic of the same one on a patrol but it was mounted on top of the motor next to the intercooler..

hey thanks for that info was good i didnt have any mods done to my old motor setup cause i wasnt aware of the problems till after my motor blew and i started reading up on it. if i was going go with the vnt turbo set up i was going to do all the nads mods before i even thought about starting the motor, they would be cheaper than buying a new turbo like you said. i dont have a maf sensor, but i have a boost sensor. not sure what the ecu would do with the boost like you said start down low with the boost and creep it up untill the sweet spot is found with out upsetting the ecu i guess. with the dawes and needle valve set up the feed line on a diagram of the set up has the feed line going back to the air fillter resonator, so being that i dont have a resonator where could i run the feed line for the needle valve to? i had the idea of putting after the air fillter not sure if it wolud give you the same positive pressure that is needed but or if it would create a vaccum cause of the turbo sucking the air threw there. or would a patrol air fillter unit with resonator be the go? i wouldnt have any boost or egt figures as dronus advised to do to work with when setting the dwaes and needle valve setup. also my old motor set up had no intercooler so i was going to put a front mout in as well as making a 2.5" to 3" exhaust.

Hi all just wondering if anybody could help me out with this, i dont own a patrol (wish i did) instead own a nissan navara str dual cab ute. my zd30 motor craped itself at 165000km not 100% sure what went in the motor i know the turbo is definatley stuffed. to replace the motor i figured the easyiest option was to buy a jap import motor one problem but, the zd30 motor i bought is a the same sort of setup as the gu patrols zd30 with the vnt turbo the orginal zd30 out of my navara has a waste gated turbo. so my options are buy a new turbo and set up like orginaly setup motor or to do the nads mods, which i think that would work in my navi?? only things is correct me if im wrong but feed line to the needle valve comes from the air fillter resonator right? not sure if my navara has that. mine was setup so the air went threw the air fillter straight into the turbo. could anyone tell me more about the air fillter resonator?? (hope its not a tech name for the airfillter box) and any input into weather this setup would work in my navara would be great to also good work dronus for the guide
