TURBO TD42 vs NA TD42 Nissan Patrol | Should you TURBO your Diesel 4X4???

[@AussieArvos]

Let us know which sounds better!! NA or TURBO? And if you feel like supporting us you can get your own Aussie Arvos sticker for your rig! aussiearvos.com.au/product/aussie-arvos-sticker/ Cheers guys! We can't thank yous enough ❤️

Hi, I’m now the proud owner of a 2000 DX Y61 Cab, it’s an ex RFB from Queensland, it’s only done 16,500klms, hard to believe but it’s true. I’ve been getting it ready slowly for outback camping trips these past 4 yrs, Covid helped there, just after Xmas 2023 we’re heading for our first week away, cheers all, love your channel mate, and yes she’s a naturally aspirated TD42.

[@thomjanson9644]

Love my NA TD42 silver top in my GQ.. HOWEVER!! Sometimes going up a hill, especially with a bit of weight, I’d give a kidney for a turbo. Will probably do it soon to be honest.

Well done boys. Its about time someone produced local 4WD content in this area. OS stuff is fine for what it is, but seeing something relevant to here is great. Also, content on the GQ patrols is well suited to people looking to get into proper 4WDing with a solid and fundamental base unit. I had the GQ back in the day, and it provided an excellent entry into what 4WDing was, and could be. It appears you are identifying the same outcomes with your rigs. You and your crew produce an honest show, and I look forward to seeing how you deal with the coil vs leaf comparison. We all have our views on all aspects of 4WDing, and many believe too much, but are convinced of too little. How you find and sell your conclusions on the issues will be interesting to watch. There are so few around doing stuff these days, so lead the way, and maybe you'll inspire others of your era, in the area, to follow. Perhaps we will cross paths off the beaten track in the area someday. We could see how a supercharger compares... Cheers Kotoc Noc

I was convinced the turbo would sound better but could hardly tell it was turbo, my td27 turbo whistles like a ref. Gotta say the na sounded deeper and throatier and wins it for me.

[@alexbrown1995]

Nice to see a leafie ute. I've had mine for 17 years. Put a second hand turbo kit on years and years ago and it gets used around the farm and for hauling loads. Has about 500K on it and all original apart from the engine which my mate cooked while I was in the Gulf grr grr. But turbo is so much the way to go. There's a long dirt hill into my place and non turbo the ute was back to 3rd, turbo it'd be the bottom of 5th or the top of 4th. I also had a GQ wagon which I turbo'd and then put on a water to air cooler. A little complex but EGTs were nice and low and I could run more boost. Best one is my current GU - lots of UFI gear and 200 kw at the wheels. Been all over the place and no issues at all. Got booked going uphill at 126kph.... Can't boot it up my test hill - spins up in 4th when the boost maxes out. Love my trolls :-)

Fuel economy gets better eith turbo, just not when your doing full throttle stuff, general driving heaps less fuel use with a turbo

[@jbrizz99]

I recently turboed the TD42 in my GQ shorty and now mixed around town and highway I get 11.8km/L. Highway economy seems to be about 10-15% better than NA, power over stock it should be around 30-40% improved though (17 psi, 10mm pump wound up but not at max). Well worth it.

[@Jez3134]

I don't know why people spend that much on intercooler setups. I've always just bought R32/R33 GTR intercoolers for $150-$200 and get an exhaust shop to make up the piping. GTR coolers are good until about 400kw on Skylines, the R32/33 end tanks are welded so they can handle anything a tiny LC/Patrol turbo will throw at it. They're as good as you'll get for OEM and a shitload better than any china core. Absolutely no need to be spending over $600, spend the rest on some nice ATs/muddies

[@elitequeenstm9981]

[@trickster8635]

Turbo sound. Double check diff ratios. The leaf might have 4.3's. Might. And weigh the two on a bridge for comparison.

[@WestyOnPC]

Td sounds deeper, wouldnt say its louder seemed about the same too me, but the modified exhaust has a cleaner and deeper sound

[@cars4dummies235]

both sound wicked, but I reckon the tubro td42 takes it

[@J0EL3H]

keep the top mount, frontmounts on gq restrict air to the radiators, thats why they are all kettles, never seen a td4.2 with a top mount overheat as often as a frontmount

I have a Y60 TD42 SWB. A few months ago I was talking to a mechanic asking him about turbos. He could actually install one on my Patrol If I had asked him, but he said it's probably not the best option if you care about the integrity and the long-term performance of the engine. Any thoughts on that? Does a turbo affect engine longevity/maintenance costs?

[@eliyilmaz6983]

Great story👍, from what i think it depends how much PSI the turbo is running and ETG'S. And you're fuel economy. Thats from what i know.

[@luiscarlosrojasmeneghel3675]

8psi con un turbo pequeño a mediano , no te quitaran tal vida al motor mas bien te ahorrara vida a tu persona con las retomadas y colinas arriba, ya el motor si te dura 15 años o 12 años es lo mismo mas depende del cuidado y aun reparado ese motor te da otros 5 años hasta 10años facil con buen aceite y filtros

Con el td42 na conseguia 10km/l o lo mismo 10l/100km , Ya con el td05h turbo y con el td04L turbo ambos 11km/l en la misma pista y mismo tramo, claro que el 04L es mas rico tiene mejor uso en off road a 1200mil rpm ya sopla y el td05h a 1800rpm cosa mas ideal para viajes largos de autopistas, mis promedios son a 90km/h velocidad lenta pero a la que disfruto viajar en el vehiculo y llantas 33". Claro que mas económico me quedó turbo e intercooler ,pero si estuviera como este caso haciendo competencia y mejores tiempos exigiendo... Ese caso si gastaria mas el turbo xq le podes dar mucho mas . Pero en usi cotidiano un turbo pequeñito es genial y sin abusar los egt en altas rpms, yo soy feliz si tengo pleno impulso de turbo entre 1200rpm a 3300rpm son 2100rpm de banda de uso genial, tal vez incluso si jala de 1200 hasta 2700 ya estoy feliz

Just in case anyone was wondering don’t rev your td42 over 3000rpm the guy in the black patrol is going to wreck that nice engine. The pre combustion chambers will thank you for it and you have literally nothing to gain out of revving it that hard.

That’s not great economy to be honest. It’s interesting. A friend had a TD42 and we went wheeling. Him in his Ute and me in my 300tdi Discovery 1 which is a 2.5L turbo. On the freeway I was able to overtake a truck which he didn’t have the power to, and the worst fuel economy I have ever got was 11L/100. And my Disco compared to my brothers 80 series cruiser with the straight 6 diesel in a drag race was exactly the same, but the trusty disco using way less fuel.

[@lukecollins7965]

I got a N/A Barra GQ, interesting to see how it would hold up.

[@misterapocalypse1]

I've got one too, reckon it would give the turbo td a run for its money! Mine's about 200-210rwhp on 33s. Biggest thing would be the rpm range the engine has vs the diesel - You wouldnt have to change gears lol

[@riskybiscuit6617]

How they go on the down hills? Asking cause I used to have mates with patrols with 35s one with a ls1, one with a tb42 4.1 diffs and they'd fly up the hills and shit themselves going down due to the lack of engine breaking and my old bus with 33s 4.6 diffs td42 would be on the throttle the whole way down like a tractor. The barra is a piece of Aussie magnificent that will be cherished for years to come though.

[@jonesy1130]

White GQ has 285/75/r16 , black GQ has 33 x12.5 maxxis razr on 15” rim

[@jbrizz99]

No point in tuning unless you have a boost compensator. The wastegate isn't opening at crusing so tuning the fuel would literally just make you go faster or slower at the same throttle position, and you won't gain much just on the timing (unless it's already way out). If you have a compensator though you could tune it so it's super lean at cruising which would help economy.

Dude, let the oil pressure build up before revving it up. Murder a motor in short time otherwise
