G'day fellas. First post.
Previously being a long time non performance modded Patrol owner and having recently purchased a beautiful low kilometer fully modded 2018 STX that just fell in my lap and couldn't pass by, I got a couple of questions.
So I am, while well aware of turbo/boost/egt issues not really knowledgeable about them in terms of after market modifications.
Indeed, I had never even fitted either a boost or Pyro gauge to my Patrol, rather I just drove it easy, looked after it and prayed to the Gods (old and new) to keep my ZD30 on the road and out of trouble.
So here I am with this beast.
It's had everything done and I do mean everything though importantly all the best brands installed by all the most renowned workshops including with relevance three inches from the snorkel to the tail pipe, after market air filter, Performance tune/remap, iDrive throttle controller, massive aftermarket intercooler and DPF delete on 33's.
It has a low 42 thousand k on it, has been loved, showered in gold, garaged and is basically show room mint condition - meaning it's not a piece of sh*t that's falling apart or been abused by the back yard boys.
Runs beautifully - doesn't miss a beat and power?
It's mental.
(To be honest, it actually took me two weeks to get used to it)
I am however a little concerned on two things.
1) Fuel economy is terrible at over 12 to the hundred though being performance tuned and kitted I expect heightened fuel consumption is the pay off but wondering how high those figures go before I need to begin thinking outside that box and:
2) while temp/pyro sits on what I believe is a comfortable 10 to 20 (100 - 200) boost cruises on 10 to 15 but climbs right up to 35 for a second or two when I plant it which is actually off the scale on my pillar gauge.
Does that seem dodgy to you blokes?
Thanks in advance, sorry I wrote a novel, lol.
It wasn't my intent.
