This engine was fully worked for power and reliability. 

Turbocharging a big 4.5 litre straight six Nissan Petrol engine requires good working knowledge.  It wasn't just a matter of bolting on a turbo; the engine was fully re-built and re-balanced including the following mods:

  • Original GU conrods are the smallest in the Patrol petrol engines.  The bigger conrods from the GQ model was used for this engine.
  • New Nissan pistons
  • The engine was ported and polished where it counted
  • Modified cam
  

  
     
  • Water cooled head.  A larger water pump was also needed to circulate the coolant.
  
     
 
  • Upgraded fuel injectors
  • Coil packs replaced the distributor
  • Blow off Valve and External Waste Gate will give more boost.
  • T2 Garrett ball bearing turbo
  • Front mounted intercooler
  • Stainless Steel manifold
  • Mandrel bent exhaust
  • MSD Coil Packs
  • Motec management system
  
       
  This is GQHoon's engine.
