@@Arron-S hahah for sure. Thanks man 🙏 pushed goldy too hard at the drags last night but it’s all coming together again now with a new turbo for a next episode.

@@marty754 they are not bored. Fit straight on. Had a mate with gu wheels on his fj. 4jj1 is a crank snapper at anything over 240hp pushing a heavy 4wd along. Got one in the shop now that’s done crank

Ok cool , thanks 4 heads up.. 106mm wheel bore in the future. 😊 , Also if I went for a 2012 4JJ1.. I would rebuild it top to bottom, bal crank.. shot peened rods.. ported polished head.. u know all the old school stuff we used to do on older donks.. or it's the LS3 Chevy just to snub ones nose at RTA and general weener legislation.. yes all engineered but still a blast for the streets. The 4J11 was just the practical upgrade consideration... But LS still wakes up the 70s in me. 😂

@ balancing the crank, shot peening and polishing the head? 😅😅 That’s not going to help that the block and bottom end are that weak that the main cap bosses literally snap out of the block- this is the cause of the snapped cranks. Same as TDs. Blocks flex- cranks not so much ✋🎤 If your common rail zd30 blows up you’re doing something very wrong, appreciate your comment. I’ve been meaning to make a video on this for years and even started filming it. But the ZD30 motor is far stronger than most other 4cylinders. If they had denso fuel systems they’d be making more power. If they hadn’t been nicknamed the grenade after the Di variant more people would be modifying them as well.

Well my 2007 ZD30 has only 120k genie KMS on her.. so she has plenty of life yet... I still like the LS3 upgrade. But for now it's ZD with roo tune, new ex manifold with tillex studs, cross country intercooler and a UFU ZL30 turbo... It's running like a dream.

I inherented my late fathers 07 Nissan... So it stays in family no matter what. U can't put a price on that. 😊

@@zr2608 they are great. People think they’re clever for bagging them out and hating on them. They had a catchy nickname that’s the only reason they got a bad rep 💣 That was the non common rail Di version of the motor. The crd like these are unbeatable and insanely reliable. They will hold more power reliably than a td42 and they don’t overheat like a td either. Not to mention a the zd30 powered patrol kerb weight is 200kg lighter, which is a huge plus for people who think about these things 🧠 oh and they use less fuel, so better range from your tank

@@Aidensfishinadventures colour grading on the camera is not great. But grey smoke is a sign of incomplete combustion, fuel going in at the wrong point of injection and not getting burnt. It could also be that you are burning oil as well, need to get a pro to make a few checks

Ok and how did you get yours to 300hp what turbo new injectors? Big intercooler

@@sd_rcfanatic157 says 30 on the gauge 🤙❤️

@@baileyelliott1373 thanks for the feedback man ☺️

@@Nononame-i6z what year, country and what are the symptoms?

@Reuben_rmr Hey mate I'm in Australia, on the highway and any hills loosing power put new fuel pump and change filter and change a few sensors

@ from what you describe it’s a di. So 2006 or below. Looses power on the highway or on hills. You lift the pedal and it resets and goes again. It’s going into boost limp. Lower the boost or get it tuned for the correct boost.

@@Reuben_rmr it's a 2013 model boost at 14psi

Have you Guy's ever had trouble with main fuel tank pump?

@@shannonferguson681 kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6HIpXRpf5xrgM0si=9zipIug2kd5j7gxz Waste of time on common rail vehicles. Get it tuned properly through the factory ecu. Unichip is only worthwhile on 1hdfte and 1kz Toyota motors with mechanical/electric pumps.

@@bernardcumberbatch7795 big turbo (Gturbo G300) + big exhaust with no mufflers (this one is 4’ from turbo back and custom)

@@on1ytheb3st they go well. Need headstuds to go further than Ash with this pump and a larger turbo. Increased cylinder pressure with that kind of power lifts the heads easily.

@@Reuben_rmr How far has Ash gone with it boost/power wise? Does he have a channel as well detailing his journey? I've heard with minor upgrades like front mount intercooler, 3-in exhaust, boost controller etc with a proper tune you can see close to 75% power increase. TRAV30387 has a good channel detailing his experience and sounds like its been running reliably for years now.

@@on1ytheb3st Ash sold the vehicle soon after this video after owning it and building it for years, check his channel @smash_garage😅 It wouldn’t be a 75% increase without upgrading the turbo as well. Tune with a unichip is $3.5k and you’d get great results. Buy a 12mm performance pump for $3k and make even better power with ease.

@@PatrickPereira-w8h thanks Patrick, was a pleasure. Glad we could get your zd30 running right and then tune it. Sure makes a big difference for drivability 😊 bless you mate

Great question man! We use gfb ones, most accurate and realisable. Have had too many issues with others, tilix work but they are too fiddly and I’m not a fan of mounting things on aircon lines. The best way to run a zd30 is off the factory solenoid. This is how you make the most power efficiently, making boost is more than just the turbo pulling vanes to meet target boost. Changing fuel calibrations in the tune will drive a turbo harder and make target better with vanes more open for flow for example. This is how RMR get the figures and drivability we do, the only way to achieve this and have all the low down torque as well is by tuning through the factory ecu with a new genuine boost solenoid installed. It’s the hardest part about tuning the zd30 crd and very few have the means to do it properly

Yep so that’s about 140hp at the wheels and 400nm. Mod have a hub Dyno we have a chassis Dyno so figures are lower. Our percentage gain is larger though. What was your power and torque stock on the hubs? It will be on your Dyno report

@Reuben_rmr 105hp and 299nm. Tuned 3.5 years ago and probably done 70 odd thousand ks in that time drives super nice maybe I got lucky with the tune. I rarely tow but plenty of 4x4 mainly soft beach and dune stuff I do have an exedy clutch with smf aswell

@@Swwa89 they are great and strong motors. One of mine is 300hp and 315k 😁 So you put down 105hp stock, let’s look at percentage gained here, because that’s what matters. Two figures from the same Dyno. The Dyno is a tuning tool and they read different depending on style- hub or chassis and also tyre size on chassis. Hp gains, you have a 66% gain over stock if you started at 105hp. Untuned run for my guy was 90hp so that’s an 88% gain 😲 Torque gain on yours 57%. Torque gain on ours 61% we can achieve a larger torque gain than this one, we were conservative, as we were looking for nice smooth power delivery.

Looks like you guys really know what your doing with these!!! If I end up blowing a turbo or whatever and need a retune I will come to you guys, I'm really happy with how mine drives for a heavy 4 cylinder old diesel. Since tune I very rarely use the evc

They put down 70-80Hp and can make anywhere between 100-130hp depending on fuel system health, turbo health and intercooler size. Torque is doubled though, they go from 160-200nm to 340-400nm which is a huge jump up. It really brings the car alive with torque earlier with gained response. Head to the website RMRDIESEL4X4.COM

right leg

@@Qw3lp bit like that isnt it lol

Whatever it is, for the performance gain and improved economy it’s the best mod you can do by far. The tune itself is usually cheaper than the exhaust fitted, for reference, for most of the diesels we do. Cost is far from a right leg, especially when you consider you get a fuel saving. Even going all out power with our calibrations you’ll save fuel purely on efficiency gained

20psi, perfect for the factory turbo efficiency window

Sometimes, pretty rare to find one worth working on these days and not something we focus on. Ash knows too much about 4Runners and surfs ⬇️

get a mechanical pump for it. youll never look back. especially if you have all the cooling sorted.
