Hey All, My Silvertop died last week and although I have got a new motor lined up and all is okay, I'm a bit perplexed as to why and this is my first time opening one up so I'd love to learn / get some thoughts from those with heaps more knowledge. How it died: Pushed the coolant return hose...

Maybe a bad question but got a rebuilt 10mm looking to get a new turbo maybe 15-17psi ish. Non intercooled but will be at some point Is it worth trying to track down an 11mm and going that way or would it be ok running those numbers What’s everyone else done Thanks in advance

Gday guys, just finished swapping a TD42 into my GQ, it was an RD28. I went with a high mount manifold and picked up a second hand HT18, I replaced the front compressor wheel to an new EBay Mamba branded one. I had to rotate the middle section and the front compressor housing to make it work...

Hi guys Yesterday I removed the intercooler pipe off the inlet side of my HT18, there was quite a bit of oil in the piping and also a bit sitting inside the turbo outlet. Could this mean to turbo is about to S*&T it’s self or could there be another reason? It doesn’t blow a heap of smoke while...

G'day all, I've got an old GQ with over half a mil K's on the clock, I don't know as much as most of you about machines so bare with me. I want to put a turbo on it and give it a bit more power, the implied jobs falling out of this would be the replacement of other parts as it's old. Do i need...

Hi guys I know a few might have already asked but is there anywhere to find the correct wiring diagram for a GU patrol that won’t bugger around with the sub tank? Had the problem years ago when auto elec wired my ute wrong and had to disconnect the battery every time I needed to use the sub...

Hi all I am having some issues with the gq. It had a small turbo on it for a few years and I decided to go bigger. I have a gt35/40 on it currently. I'm running a pertronix electronic ignitor in the distributor. It's running through an intercooler with a gas research throttle body. When I first...

Im currently in the market for a TD42 GQ ute and have found a good one which has a safari turbo with a straight thru 3inch exhaust. I would like to know a) how much boost it runs b) should i bother with putting an intercooler and c) should i get a new turbo kit.

Hello out there fellow Patrol'ers, I am sure this has been discussed to death, but I am struggling to find some definitive answers on the forum. What I have is one of the many GU Patrols with marginal cooling capacity. I am finding that it often ends up getting up to over 115 degrees (measured...

Hi Guys, I am in the process of adding an intercooler to my factory turbo TD42t GU Patrol. The intake is the EGR integrated one, so the non-turbo adapters don't fit (see picture of similar engine layout, I have better pictures but can't figure out how to add them to this post). Does anyone...
