because im lazy thats why

[Navara_noob]

Ok because im to lazy to search, What size donk would fit in place of the 2.5 diesel thats in an 08 Jap crap nav?

I know Scotty stuck a V8 in his, i saw a Nav tonight with "powered by Mazda" sticker on it. (NFI what donk he was using?)

So if i had the cash what would fit under the bonnet?

 

[scottybobcat]

FFS just don't do it. Do all the mods to your 2.5ltr or buy something else.lolo

 

[Navara_noob]

i freakin hate the 2.5 i get shit fuel economy and down low in 4H its gutless as. i think i need a v6 or something im lucky if i get 180 click out of a 1/4 of a tank in mine, Mechanic reckons its fine but i reckon about 11L per 100km if not more. and freewat driving is worse about 13L

Hopefully you can get it sorted mate, I'm happy with my 650+kms to a tank with my 3ltr

Just buy a 3L thats what im doing, sold my 2.5 and have been looking for a low km 05-06 3l one.

Aren't the 3L the Zd30 but? the holy hand grenade of Nissan? I mean I'd stick a 3L in if i was from say Mitsubishi or ford or Izuzu but not Nissan. Wouldn't mind a small block 6, say from a Ford or Dunny dore but.

 

[scooba_285]

have u got a chip and exhaust done to your 2.5 yet?

 

[adamp]

i find it funny how u want to put a 8v or somthing bigger than that 2.5 in it and ur compaining about fuel!!
considering its a 4wd with big tyres and that ways like 1.5 tone. if ur getting 10 to 12L per 100k its still pritty good for a 4wd. id like to see u get beta out of a v6

Something like this might fit but would require a bit of engineering:

some eXtra ponies is always what people want...but that engine must have been fitted by the Irish.

Exactly.......more than enough.





other than that if you really want to splash some cash, go the V6 outa the d40

The ones in the patrols with variable blade turbo's yes, the ones in the navaras are setup differently and its very very rare.

some YD25's are starting to get timing chain problems so im glad I sold my one, one guy on here only had like 30000km and needs a new engine cause his let go or something.

 

[Krankin]

Really...putting in a 3 ltr is going backwards in a big way....

the supposed timing chain probs are a huge beat up...just cause a couple have happend outa how many tens of thousands of 2.5's dont mean shit....

If it really worries ya, and for the cash you want to lay out on a backwards conversion fit a double row chain kit...and service the engine regularly.....
more importantly...dont redline the poor thing...it is a DIESEL engine not a high revving petrol...quickest way to kill a diesel is rev the crap outa it all the time

I know I have said it before but...

Stick a Cummins 4BT in it! 3.9L 4 Cyl Turbo Diesel.

u been hangin out with Dave too much again ay!

 

[Bvandermaat]

Haha nahh I just am very keen to see one of those in a Nav. they are making a 4.2 variant for the new Titan.

If my QD32 ever craps out and I don't feel like getting a newer Nav I might stick one in.

Hmm that is an idea Navara Noob, put a QD32ETI in it out of the Nissan Elgrand.

 

[Krankin]

Yeah, I dont think Nissan are about to put one in.

Not yet, its on the 2 do list, just need some cash
