first we will go through the engine mods,
-supercircuit 2.75"exhaust+ turbo downpipe
-Apexi 2.5x bigger intercooler + 3" intercooler piping kit
-common rail fuel pressure release valve shim
-power lab FPC-2 common rail pressure chip

according to powerlab I should now be in the 200-230hp bracket(140-170kw) and a good +100NM of torque...that makes the car drive a lot better you can drive it around and shift around 1800rpm instead of 2500rpm before...
only thing is the tune is a bit smokey even turned halfway! so I will need more air....
right now looking at putting a volant powercore CAI so I can mate it to a snorkel! the thing is will it get in the way of the intercooler pipe!!! has anyone tried?
And after that maybe a turbo upgrade....::wink::
BTW my build is trying to achieve a competent powerful yet economic offroader/daily driver::laugh::
Man, reading this tread frustrates me so much! You are so lucky you can get a Diesel engine in your truck. I (and many, many Club Frontier members)will have to wait a couple more years for Nissan to meet the strict pollution guidelines set forth by the not so loved tree hugging EPA. Then I can buy my diesel powered Frontier, and then RIP off all the pollution controlled systems, add a bigger turbo, larger intercooler, propane injection, and run high sulfur farm grade diesel through it!
As soon as the diesel Frontier shows up at my local dealership, I will have my check book in hand, ready to buy!
Keep up the good work, nice pictures, and enjoy that diesel of yours!
this is the first little :crying: suspension mod before the titan swap!!
got the Ac megacrawler pack with bilsteins...
everything went well except i wasn't ready to have the front bumpstop brackets different on the navara (wider) so I had to hack it all of and weld the jounce shock mounting on the chassis!
so for others it's definitely not a bolt on mod:frown:
the rears i have to modify the bracket as the holes come to close to the dege of the chassis, wouldn't like to weaken it....:serious:
all up the kit is a real big improvement over stock a bit on the firm side but i like it
::wink::
ebay titan UCA (TC copies...) and LCA ready to be shipped! Now just trying my luck on PRG Saw's...and the rest of the bits been trying to e-mail for 4 month now, hope he comes back to me soon saying he as stock... otherwise I will have to get a 3" spacer in a meantime.....
Do you guys know if I risk anything with spacer+ the AC bilstein coilovers and coils? I am afraid of the droop as I doubt the shocks have droopstops!
cheers
Someone on the new x had problems aligning with those particular arms, just a heads up in case that happens you know right away what it is. Another good budget arm is the rough country.
Good luck!
thanks for the tip for the alignment!
i did think of that as le upper arms are not adjustable...
but I have a secret weapon that should solve that problem!::grin::
The australians at superpro have developped a misalignment bushing for the d40, this should give me that little extra with the cambolts to get the alignment sorted LOL
put on the ultra racing chassis bracing yesterday...
great improvement for $58 leaving malaysia!!!!
the truck feels a lot stiffer and feels like your driving a high quality sedan...:surprise:
gotta love ebay!!!
here is what i just won for $50 and 22 for the shipping... chinese but hell why not if it only lasts a year then i can buy a good ones!
waiting for the brackets and to see if I can fit 53" on the roof!::grin::
finally got around fitting rear jounce shocks!!::grin::
needed new holes on brackets, modified striking plates slightly because the brakelines were in a different spot....
and took advantage to change the braklines as the oem would have been too short!!!!
Nice Light bar haha i think i got the same kind off ebay. I haven't had the chance to put it on yet, need to fab up some brackets. Once you put yours on let me know how you run the wire in. Good luck!
I was going to run the wires from the bracket on the sied of the wind screen straight into the engine bay so i wouldn't have to mack around with drilling the roof and removing the headliner...LOL
just been trying to find a propper way to protect my uniballs on the new arms, and played around with cv-boots and others.... but woke up this morning with an easier idea, just put a 2"/50mm galpipe cap and duct tape it there. easy for on truck maintenance::laugh::
