The nissan ZD30 CRD workshop manual says that the Swirl Control valve is supposed to be closed below 2600rpm if the water temp is between 22-100deg. Basically what your video showed is not a broken valve but one working exactly as intended. To test malfunction, you would need to test with rpm over 2600 (I.e. see of its closed when its supposed to open).
@Gus-uo7my2 ай бұрын
Also, if the valve was broken and always closed, the biggest impact would be felt at higher rpm when the max airflow is trying to get through. ZD30 CRD will see about 18g/s (Mass Air Flow) at idle and about 150g/s at max RPM. If the valve was fully closed then the power and torque would be most affected at higher RPM. Your dyno results however show the higher RPM figures are unchanged. I suspect this is because the swirl valve closed as intended when the RPM increased. All was Woking as designed.
@Gus-uo7my2 ай бұрын
The higher torque in your dyno run is no doubt due to the higher boost. We need to ask, why is the boost higher? When the swirl valve is closed, it will hold back more pressure. The MAP (boost) sensor is in the intercooler well before the swirl valve so must see higher boost pressure when the valve is operating (the cylinder will obviously see lower pressure, but this isn't where your sensor/monitoring point is). The fact that your 2nd dyno run shows higher boost at the intercooler says that something else has significantly changed between runs to increase boost. This has resulted in the higher torque. You'll need more/cleaner runs to conclude if the swirl valve actually increase or decreases the torque.
@boostedsagas8842 ай бұрын
Theory and reality are often two different things. In theory it’s supposed to help increase air speed and generate swirl in the chamber to better mix fuel at low rpm. And maybe that’s the case, how ever we see on patrols, Hilux’, Dmax’s, both power and torque increase virtually everywhere across the rev range at when the system is disabled. Maybe the system operates better at partial throttle, but then I’d expect a negative effect on fuel economy. And if that was the case, I’d have people kicking my door down about loosing them mileage from a tank. All I can comment on, is what we see on the dyno. And the feedback people have given us when doing it themselves at home.
@Gus-uo7my2 ай бұрын
I appreciate theory and reality offen differ, but that doesn't change the fact that the video offers a test and concludes the valve is broken when its operation exactly as Nissan designed it. Also glosses over the fact that the 2nd dyno run (the one with better torque) is run at higher boost which perfectly explains the higher torque. There is no possible way that closing the swirl valve would create higher boost at the MAP sensor (which is up stream of the valve). Clearly there is another factor at play. As others have suggested multiple runs with ONLY this change are needed. I agree that customers would be kicking your door down if it increased fuel usage. And I doubt it would. Given its only closed at low rpm/MAF flow you might be increasing air flow loss by 0.05psi whish would be indistinguishable in any mileage or dyno calcs.

This was an extremely informative video. Thanks. Can reducing intake temps through an upgraded intercooler and tune also help keep coolant water temps down too? Even if only passively? I have a MN Triton with the 4D56 (2.5L) motor, the model which has the known factory overheating issue due to a pitted block surface. No symptoms for me so far fingers crossed / touch wood, my CWT stays around 87-90 unless I'm flogging it up a big hill. But would adding an intercooler and tuning be beneficial in reducing the risk of that happening? I know the radiator is kind of a separate system, but would reducing IATs help keep the whole engine cooler and reduce CWTs too? Or is it best to focus on a bigger radiator, piping, thermostat changes etc.?
@boostedsagas8845 ай бұрын
The more heat we can remove before it enters the engine, the better. In certain vehicle, yes an upgraded cooler and clean tune will help keep egts in check, lower combustion temps, means less heat introduced into the block and head, and eventually into the cooling system. For a vehicle which as yours, with known issues, it’s tough to say whether it would be worth the effort or not. Performance wise, you’ll defiantly notice a difference, as far as cooling, I think it may only help if you actually had an issue.
@ridgey_didge5 ай бұрын
@@boostedsagas884 That makes sense. Thanks for your quick reply. I'm interested in getting an upgraded aftermarket intercooler before tuning - I like the idea of cooling everything down and helping efficiency. One aftermarket intercooler claims 30% more surface area (slightly thicker than OEM), another claims to add a whopping 120% (it is over double the size of the standard cooler in width, so makes sense). I'm wondering if going for the 120% intercooler will have any negatives to be mindful of? Turbo lag? Assuming that I get a tune to optimise everything.

If you chip doesn’t allow for boost to be increased, this will be your problem. When increasing fuel, we need to increase air volume. This is usually done by increasing boost pressure. On stock turbo, I’d be aiming for 18psi on a FTE. This vehicle was set up for towing and touring, hence it having 5 map select. The owner can choose which tune works best for his driving conditions.

I got a 2024 Integra A-spec that I am debating upgrading the intercooler. I just want a fun daily driver. Should I expect that 10hp gain? Also, is it worth upgrading the intercooler outlet and charger pipes? I do plan on eventually tuning the car when the warranty is close to being over. I am also likely upgrading the intake and probably a catback exhaust. Not sure if that would affect the power gains at all. I am obviously new at this.
@boostedsagas8846 ай бұрын
Intercoolers can be even more important in spark ignition engines. As high intake temps reduce timing, which reduces power. So yeah, for sure worth upgrading especially if you intent on tuning the engine at a later date. Intercooler Pipe size doesn’t make a big difference to power gains. Money would be better spent on exhaust, intake, and tuning.

Awesome video mate....thank so much for such great transparency.
My pleasure!
Where is your shop located at?
Beerwah on the Sunshine Coast.
I thought so, i texted you yesterday but you don’t tune zd30 di
Hey mate what are your recommendations on a safe power level for a 100 with the 5 speed auto? Cheers
The A750’s require a HD valve body before even starting, then we suggest staying under 600-650nm. Specific tuning is required to help them survive, plus it’s never great to let them shift foot flat, or tow on big tunes.
Hi fellas, thanks for posting! What are your egt's like on long pulls? I tow a small van, chipped, 3" exhaust etc, intercooler upgrade (not the big one) and pretty much have to keep one eye on the egt at all times - it will hit 550deg very quickly up hills or overtaking. It has loads of power, just can't use it, as the egt spikes so quick!
If you chip doesn’t allow for boost to be increased, this will be your problem. When increasing fuel, we need to increase air volume. This is usually done by increasing boost pressure. On stock turbo, I’d be aiming for 18psi on a FTE. This vehicle was set up for towing and touring, hence it having 5 map select. The owner can choose which tune works best for his driving conditions.
@@boostedsagas884 thanks for your reply, much appreciated, that's the problem then, it stops at 15 psi on the gauge. Looks like a unichip and a turbo upgrade, as I love my fte hundy.
what if i keep the flap open at all times i have a 1KD
That’s literally exactly what we are doing here. If the system is operating normally, it’s not a big deal. But if the vac solenoids are faulty, you either need to replace and confirm everything is working correctly, or bypass and leave them open 24/7 as I do here.
What size intercooler would you recommend for a 2.8t 4m40? Does size effect anything?
Ideally bigger is better. More surface area you have, the better chance it can dissipate heat. Assuming you give it good access to cool fresh ambient airflow.
@@boostedsagas884 easy thank you very much also will bigger be fine with stock turbo ? I have a reckoned delica pump installed and am pushing 10 Psi but will probably up it with new intercooler
How do you check this on a 4jj1 mate ?
Same same, just different engine layout.
Great vid mate. I have a stick 05 sahara. Auto. I know prices vary but... ball park idea on what you did in this vid???
Depending how much you can do yourself, ball park, 10-15k.
I got a 2024 Integra A-spec that I am debating upgrading the intercooler. I just want a fun daily driver. Should I expect that 10hp gain? Also, is it worth upgrading the intercooler outlet and charger pipes? I do plan on eventually tuning the car when the warranty is close to being over. I am also likely upgrading the intake and probably a catback exhaust. Not sure if that would affect the power gains at all. I am obviously new at this.
Intercoolers can be even more important in spark ignition engines. As high intake temps reduce timing, which reduces power. So yeah, for sure worth upgrading especially if you intent on tuning the engine at a later date. Intercooler Pipe size doesn’t make a big difference to power gains. Money would be better spent on exhaust, intake, and tuning.
Hi mate Thanks for all your great vids. I have a ZD30 CRD. Re TB48 swap, i would like to get your thoughts on the Mishimoto Racing Thermo which opens at 60 degrees. More $ but some 15 degree cooler again than the TB48. Appreciate your thoughts.
Colder isn’t always better. You want your coolant temp to be 80c+. It ensures the oil get hot enough to boil out any moisture.
@@boostedsagas884 Thanks mate. Yes makes sense. See u in feb for a remap.Have a great 2024.
Hey mate what thermostat do you run in these zd30s?
For high up applications, or heavy rigs in hot climate, we run a genuine TB48 thermostat in the crd variant. They are a direct swap, and run at a cooler temp over stock. They won’t fit the DI variety though.
Is this the same for zd30 d22 navs I can’t seem to find it
Do zd30’s have a single flap in the cross over pipe. I’m not sure if the navs have it though. There a little different agin those engines compared to the patrols ones.
good review, do you use the 1hd-fte turbo con rods and pistons with this build?
This is factory fte engine. In touched and unopened besides the mods we fit in this video.
@@boostedsagas884 ok thanks, i should have picked up on that. do you know if the 1hdft conrods and piston are the same as the 1hd fte. early model turbo motors had big end issues(i,m not sure which ones). we have a 1hdft and we want get similar power out of it. thanks
@@horseshoe182 the 1HDT, had the big end bearings issues. The 1HDFT, and FTE can both make great power and remain reliable. Only difference is the FTE can have multiple tunes. This drastically improves reliability as it doesn’t have to be on full send all the time. Where as the mechanical pump of the FT, once it’s tuned, you can simply flick a switch in the cab to change the tune.
@@boostedsagas884 flick a switch, i wonder how that works. yanmar developed the 1hdft , from 315hp to 420hp for a marine applications. i want to build a marine version for myself. as cummins are too heavy. any links to further education, gurus and/or diesel bench dyno testers would be appreciated. i,m in sydney , thanks
@@horseshoe182 sorry I meant you CANT flick a switch in the cab and swap tunes like you can with the FTE. The difference from the automotive to the marine world is, the marine world has unlimited supply of cold water for W2A aftercooler and engine cooling system. Which means engines can generally be pushed a lot harder in the marine world, then the automotive scene.
Great job mate! What intake temp should I look for after the intercooler? I live in Greece and I have a 1kz. Thank you
Ideally, as close to ambient temp as possible.
