How to install a GFB d-boost V2 in a Nissan Patrol !!! MORE BOOST !!! Grease Garage: S1E12

[@pranavan.m598]

this guy is an absolute legend, shows us exactly how to do this with every step. Couldn’t thank you more

[@GREASEGARAGE]

Thank you champ :) appreciate the feedback and super glad it helped you out

[@glenwoolnough1499]

Hey mate I've set this up on my pathfinder how do I set a boost gauge up with one of these the tubing?

[@GREASEGARAGE]

Great question, So what you want to do is have a separate line with no tees off it from your boost gauge to the intake manifold this is the ideal way of doing it, you can also on a diesel get a reading off the intercooler piping.. which is what we did, you can buy a brass fitting and use a thread tap to install a new line, I used a 1/4 hose bard with a 6mm/10mm TBSP thread 😊 on the intercooler piping on the cold side, hope that helps

I've been looking at this gfb months and months ago and no one had a video, but finally! Thank you! I'm 7 mins in.. I should probably wait till the end 🤷‍♂️

[@GREASEGARAGE]

honestly they are a great product and super noticeable

[@timotcho01]

Awesome waiting on your dyno update, is the ecu currently on factory settings? What's the drive like atm?

[@timotcho01]

And can you please do more tech or info on this controller just to understand a bit more 😁 Have a mitsubishi 2.5 and the other boys on fb are 'tech experts' so no help lol

[@GREASEGARAGE]

drives really good, you just adjust the spool and boost for daily driving and off track so it get the best of both worlds

[@hooksyburgess123]

Used one of these found the rise rate open to maximum was not enough to keep my egts under 600 degrees so went straight back to tillex dawes and needle... now sit at 500 degrees maximum set to 16 psi going in for a dyno run soon to boost it more without seeing limp mode

[@evdudeguy]

Thanks for showing this install. Am considering using one of these instead of the Dawes / Needle / Tillix valves and you've pretty much convinced me. Looking forward to the dyno run.

[@GREASEGARAGE]

Glad your enjoying the content , I can not wait myself, but i’m not in my home town at the moment so it will be a couple of weeks away sadly

[@rafailakos]

I'm thinking of running this valve on a D40 with the pneumatic actuator will it work?

[@GREASEGARAGE]

, Great question, the ZD30 is a pneumatic actuator adjusting the vanes in the turbo, so i’m sure it would work on the D40 engine if your using variable vane turbo i’m not sure how it would go on a wastegate style turbo though, i would message GFB directly.. I hope that helps

[@rafailakos]

@@GREASEGARAGE No I'm using the stock turbo with the pneumatic actuator so I think it'll work.I messaged GFB so that I can be sure though

[@GREASEGARAGE]

@@rafailakos let us know what they say, i doubt your the first to ask them this .. and i would love to know the limits of the GFB valve

[@rafailakos]

@@GREASEGARAGE We'll see...I also have a remap and a straight pipe exhaust I'll let you know as soon as they answer me

[@rafailakos]

@@GREASEGARAGE I have an answer!The valve will suite any vehicle which VNT actuator is pneumatically operated

[@Swwa89]

Got one of these in my crd gu aswell, the old dawes and needle valve wasn't holding the 21psi asked of it on the dyno when had it tuned and this does the job very nicely!!! Also from albany

[@GREASEGARAGE]

thank you 🙏 for the feed back, they seem to work really well, did you end up getting it tuned ? and what was the befor and after if you don’t mind me asking

[@Swwa89]

@@GREASEGARAGE yeah mate modified did it however ufi did a bit of a touch up as my dawes valve wasn't holding 21psi hence why went the gfb. Went from 104hp to 175 and 299nm to 468 but makes peak torque at 2200 and peak power at 3200 so goes quite well have put 15k on since tune without issue

[@freaxme]

wheres the dyno vid?? am looking at getting one of these also

[@GREASEGARAGE]

We have filmed it, but haven’t finished doing the editing of that video yet, been extremely busy, but it’s been done and i was surprised of how adjustable it was

[@ПавелМатеев-о4ф]

Any update on the dyno video?

[@gtrlife2941]

Would this work on a truck 07 model

[@GREASEGARAGE]

What Truck buddy and i'll find out for you

[@davidfernandez01]

Have you heard about the GFB electronic valve controller? I am planning on replacing tillix valve but unsure if it would really work with a VNT/VGT turbo. Asked GFB and I was told to look up for KZbin videos 🤦‍♂️

[@GREASEGARAGE]

haven’t played with there electric valve controller yet, so sadly i can’t help you with anymore information, these manual valves do work, we put it on the dyno and tested it out.. im editing the video now. so hopefully but the end of the week

[@Reaper_1994]

@@GREASEGARAGE hopefully we can see the dyno soon! Just installed one on my Patrol as I was hitting limp mode after the egr blanking plate was installed.

[@GREASEGARAGE]

@@Reaper_1994 okay your hitting over the boost limit for more then 10-30seconds.. you can get these pumping out 30psi but there is no point , you will loose power , the dyno video is a very extreme edit, daul to all the graphing, but i have started on it, to get it ready for you guys

[@joshuakozee5719]

I was tripping on some really good mushrooms while I watched this vigayo

[@GREASEGARAGE]

you eat a lot , or you were walking and tripped over some 🍄

[@markcolliver5429]

Did you unplug the factory controller or leave it plugged in? Mine hits limp mode on 2-3 shift(auto) at 15psi, thinking spool rate is too high

[@GREASEGARAGE]

We left it plugged it, we can crank the spool right up, and cruising around with 15psi.. please keep us in the loop

[@markcolliver5429]

GREASE GARAGE I tried with it unplugged last night, managed to get 17psi out of it, still over boosting on the 2-3 shift under heavy acceleration. Getting better tho, needs more tampering!

[@GREASEGARAGE]

@@markcolliver5429 Good to hear, we will be putting this on the dyno soon and doing some testing to tsee the boost curve

[@knightmpw]

Is it compatible with Vane turbos? Mine is a Landcruiser 79 v8. Would love to fix one if it goes...

[@Str8UpL4zy]

​@@knightmpw it's made for thay style of turbo

[@matthewfischer8551]

Hey mate u got a link for the boost adapter on the intercooler?
