Don't listen to the knockers. I fitted a turbo to an efi patrol. AFRs were fine up to 6 psi. Like has been said let the AFM do the work for u. Horses for courses....

This is actuall In a patrol aswell!

My first 30 powered gq I fitted vl na injection, ran it at 5 psi on the na tune,

then got rb20 injectors and a vlt tune at 10psi. Was pretty good truck.

then got this gq, straight lpg rb30,

that was a rubbish setup, always out of tune on the wideband, made 75.6hp atw!

Now it's an rb25/30det on fuel.

I love blasting uphill past Lexus/cruiser 200 series, prados, pajeros and new patrols!

The offending gasket and an engbay shot when it was first done, looks a tad dif now.

Specs - home made top mount manifold, Chinese t04e turbo .63 rear, .50 front.

50mm external gate, 3" mandrel exhaust, 3" cat, muffler, and 18"x3" resonator .

2.5" cooler pipes, 600-300-75 front mount, throttle body moved to front,

Massive intank pump -1l surge -044 external pump, (constant 12v supply controlled on/off by ecu)

pretty standard rest of setup, stock r31 block, r32 na 25 head untouched (hence the 20 style inlet)

standard tune.

Well yeah, as I had to limp it 350km home when it happened, it would've continued to push through the void into the next cylinder, back and forth.

it wasn't so bad to start with but she was pretty unhappy by the time I got home!

love my Nissan, far from stock, still it'll keep on goin till the end just to get me home.

couldn't do that in a landcruiser!

Ive had an engine do that, it had started to cut a groove in the head where the gasket had gone

Update, dropped the head off today for a rebuild, $650 for the full treatment. Deck the face, cut and grind all valves and seats. Pressure test and chem clean, and fully reassembled.

Well another update, got the big girl back together, gave it a rebuild while it was out,

-Acl race series main and big ends.

-Hastings moly rings.

-Mls-r head gasket.

-Fully rebuilt head with gtr valve springs. And other bits as required!

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
