My 1994 GQ Nissan Patrol is very gutless on take-off. It's done 156,000 km and I was thinking of adding a turbocharger. What do you think?
Answered by CarsGuide
19 Oct 2010I will assume you have a 4.2-litre non-turbo diesel, which can be a little gutless. But they are a tough old engine and will cope pretty well with a turbocharger. There are aftermarket bolt-on kits available, generally at a cost of about $3000 or so, and will usually boost the power by about 20 per cent. Before you do it ensure your engine is in relatively good shape, there’s no point in fitting a turbo to an engine that’s on its last legs.
