binsayer Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 hi guys have you ever seen an engine like this before it comes on the nissan patrol it has 280 hp and torque is more than 320 you can check it out at http://www.nissan-me.com/patrol/patrol_specifications_station.htm there is a garage that put a turbo on this engine and with only 5 psi of boost the engine came up with 400hp and tq about 450 http://www.gulfautomart.com/workshopnissanpatrol4.8.shtml and by the way if you wana see a supercharged car with a twin turbo they are building it right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binsayer Posted April 23, 2004 Author Share Posted April 23, 2004 you guessed wrong i was born and raised in kuwait but i have been in oregon for the past 6 years. we do have the patrol in left hand steering. but we do get some other cars that you wont find here. if you think the patrol is nice get ahold of the lumina SS a small 4 door sedan with an LS1 engine and yes rear wheel drive for less than 25,000$ you guys should ship some of these cars over here you can make alot of money. the good thing abotu those is they have the same price as a honda but who needs a honda when you have a 320 hp muscle car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug71zt Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Patrols have always been way cool in my book. Right from the L28 powered ones in the 80's. I drive a 4500 over here in Georgia (Republic of, that is) Company truck - nice suspension - right up there with the Land Cruiser for soaking up really bad roads. I had a 2 door SD3.3 diesel in Baghdad last year - I imagine it's dust right about now... Drop the 4.5 in the Z and boost it - Ride the torque curve baby!
