During my last trip away I came home via Brisvagas and had the Patrol booked in a Motsons for a stage 2 Turbo upgrade. Now to say I'm pleased with the results are an understatement. The truck now is far more friendly and easier to drive with heaps more torque and power down low where needed......Very happy to say the least, below are the Dyno results.....

The other bonus, she uses an average of 1ltr per 100km less fuel now, can't complain with that.....

Cheers.....

well done teabag, what did the fellas over there do?

Basically they modify the exsisting Turbo (they replace it with one already modified) by honeing it out to be a little larger internals, change the bearing and a few other things but worth every cent....

Motson's Turbo and Suspension Centres

Good to hear, I'm getting a similar mod done to mine now. Can't wait to get it back!

Hello Teabag,

I see on the graph a note that the "before readings are not factory".
What mods did you have before Motson's did their stuff?

Cheers,
Geoff

It had already had the Stage one which is 3in Exhaust and fuel pump set. This is the difference between stage one and stage 2......

Excellent just off idle, great for pulling big loads......

Have no idea for a new Turbo....... Mine was a replacement in that it was the original that is modified.....

 

[bennoGU28]

2.8 GU turbo is a GT1752S, new from nissan they can go from about $950 to $1300 supply only.

If I may ask, why do you think your turbo is up for replacement?

 

[T0nka]

The old girls head cracked not long back, was recommended a mechanic so it went to him. From what i could tell he was a real pro (i could be wrong)

Didn't take him long to pin point all that was wrong with the troll after fitting a new head for me.

Said the following needs attention..

Alternator
Turbo
Steering Damper
Radiator.

Sure enough a week later the alternator **** itself, that's been replaced now. Steering damper is indeed gone, coil on the outside has broken..

He did a great job with the head as the mechanic i took it to before him to fit the head totally stuffed it.

So short story long, he has said best if i get the turbo replaced soon.

He's not out for sales or anything like that, he's a backyarder who's been in the industry for eons.

That's where mine is at the moment (series 1, non I/C). I'd like more off the bottom, up to about 2500rpm for towing. I'm considering my next move. Can't decide between turbo upgrade or I/C. Did they do exhaust side only, or both exhaust and compressor sides?
Do you notice any negative changes to driveability? Turbo lag, etc?

No, it is only 3in exhaust and dump. I honestly have not noticed any down side to the turbo mod. Motsons also do a couple of choices in IC that I am also considering. I think it was $1800 for a 180% better IC performance but you need to replace the bonnet scoop which isn't in the cost . They don't do that and have to take it to a Panel beater to do. I'm seriously considering it.....

Thanks Teabag,

No Motson's in Melbourne, but MTQ are not far from me. MTQ have a couple of upgrade options for the factory turbo. They can upgrade the turbo exhaust wheel only, or both the inlet and exhaust wheels. I'm told if both wheels are done it will make more power, but it can be a bit laggy and not as nice to drive. Did Motson's do both turbo wheels on yours, or just the exhaust side?

The Cross Country "Ultimate" intercooler looks very tasty.........

Mate, To be honest, I'm not sure if they did both or just the one. It would be worth giving them a call to find out what they actually do and see if that is the same as MTQ....
