induction options for Nissan’s GP Patrol. Photos by PHILIP LORD.
When we hitched up a boat and went towing in the August issue’s tow test, we intended to spice up the factory wagons sampled with aftermarket modified vehicles we thought would be well-suited to towing - namely the Sprintex supercharged and Safari Turbo Systems turbocharged Patrol 4.2 litre diesels. Delays left us Sprintex-less, but we did manage to get hold of a Safari Turbo Systems intercooled turbo TD 42 Patrol, and it came up trumps as the best value-for-money heavy-duty towing vehicle in the comparison. Since then a Sprintex supercharger has been fitted to Contributing Editor Whiting’s TD 42 Patrol, so the stage was set for a side-by-side comparison between the aftermarket forced induction alternatives. |
