Re: Z18ET turbo Navara Project With photos

Post by unlimitedpower »

Neat the guy i replaced at my current job built up a Z18ET navara. I helped him out a little with that. He then wound way to much boost into it. And melted a piston. After that he used the current Z24 Block with the Z18ET head and some 510cc evo injectors, He got it all running in the end, Really needed a tune, a broken AFM had us stumped for a while.

Good luck with your project i know the Z18ET really woke the ute up when that was in there.

oh ok, im just not wanting to separate as i have no use for the remainder of the parts and be easyier to sell in one package rather than half the bits missing off it. I just want the lot gone as is taking up space and have no need for it
