About Mods to my 17NX, don't have a clue.

Exhast gas recirculation is a pipe going from your exhast manifold to the intake pipe just after the air filter. The exhaust gasses have oil vapour and carbon soot in it.

DaKapitan, that description is not altogether correct.

EGR valve and pipewerk feeds soot-laden exhaust gas into the intake manifold, downstream of the throttle valve.

The oily vapours (Positive Crankcase Ventilation PCV) are piped from the tappet cover and are drawn into the air intake pipe upstream of the turbo. That's where a catch can would be fitted to intercept the oily vapours.

Typical configuration of egr is attached:

Hi, mate. Your reply is very helpful, I really appreciate that. However, I emailed Malaga suspension, and they said: I could go 20% over the 50mm legally, so it is gonna be 60mm at maximum. I guess I could put 1 inch on tyres and 40mm on suspension?

The 20% over the 50mm limit got me interested so I looked up the WA requirements and to my surprise there has been changes on the way VSB14 is applied. Now if you change your ride height with a suspension lift it now require an inspection by an authorised person.


I could find nothing about the 20% variation that Malaga Suspension is quoting, I would be getting that in writing!



WTF, lets put more cost back on to the poor consumer rather than making if illegal for installers/sellers to sell and fit illegal suspensions systems.


WA Guys, you better read this;

https://www.transport.wa.gov.au/licensing/modify-a-light-vehicle-simple-inspection.asp

I have only had a brief read and I am not sure if this is retrospective legislation and if it isn't then will you have to carry proof of your upgrades that were legal without an independent inspection just a month ago.

Thx, mate, I will double check before I order. However, I did save the email with them

Exhast gas recirculation is a pipe going from your exhast manifold to the intake pipe just after the air filter. The exhaust gasses have oil vapour and carbon soot in it. The oil sticks to the walls and the carbon sticks to the oil. Fast forward several 10's of thousands of kilometres and your intake becomes clogged with the stuff resulting in loss of POWER, poor efficiency, and an expensive clean up bill

There are many threads on it for many makes of diesel 4wds.

For a 2017 nx pajero the only easy way to limit your car's exposure to this is fitting an oil catch can

HPD

PROVENT 200

https://www.westernfilters.net.au/provent-200-oil-catch-can-kit-for-mitsubishi-pajero-3-2-ltr-did/

are two popular models of oil catch cans.


Some dont fit well out of the box depending on snorkel fitment so check stuff like this first!

I know tjm snorkels go with HPD becuase i have them ;-)

The other way is ensuring the valve that controls when and how much the EGR pipe is being used remains closed for as much as possible. On dpf model pajeros (2017 onwards) this is not entirely achievable without witchcraft and voodoo tactics beyond my knowledge and carefactor.


The easy way is buy a Munji cable or similar but it will still not be able to close it off all the time!

There is a $1 way described somewhere on this forum.


Google and YouTube your heart away! I am no expert and some of my info might be dodgy

Hi,mate. I will definitely do this. Thanks a lot. Who did you ask for the fitting?

I am thinking about some mods to my pajero. I am a rookie to 4WD. The reason I wanted to buy is because I need a car to travel around different attractions around Perth or WA with less barriers and I also use the car 80% in the city for daily usage.

1 2 inch lift: I heard a lift does shorten the life span of CV and easier to bend steering components?or good brands make difference?

2 Bigger tyres: the stock 265/60/18, it is roughly 30'. what is the best size to serve my purpose?

3 bullbar/ rear bar: which ones should be done at first? Currently, my budget won't stretch to both. I scratched the rear bumper a little bit, so I am keen to replace it with rear wheel carrier/bar. However, I can't find too many options and all options are very pricy.
For bullbar, ARB deluxe one costs 2.5k? Is this worth the price? or there are some equivalent but better priced options?

4 sidestep: scratched it quite a bit. Try to replace it as well.

5 Underbody protection: no concerns, but need some options

6 Legal issue: what is maximum size upgrade on tyres and lift respectively? Does insurance covers? Any issue with factory warranty?

1. Does a 2" lift shorten CV lifespan and bend components: Well, lots of people have been lifting their gen 3 and 4's forever since 2002 even. If CV lifespan and bending components was an issue, I'm sure we would have heard that by now - we haven't.

2. The best tyre size: standard. Bigger tyres will increase fuel consumption and keep the TC unlocked earlier and longer. Whilst its nice to go up a size, it comes with more trade offs than its worth IMO.

3. Bullbar/rear Bar and what first. Bull bar. Unless you want twin wheel carriers, why would you bother with a rear bar? If protecting your rear bumper is the aim, look into rear bumper protection (bushskinz/boo's bash plates for example). Not only will it be lighter, it will be cheaper too. From what you tell of yourself, I cant see you getting any benefit from a rear bar except lightening ones wallet. Just look where I get to: all without a rear bar.

4. Buskskinz sliders. Expensive, yes, but you will never have to worry about those crappy oem sidesteps again.

5. underbody protection: Bushskinz and or boo's bash plates once again. IMO, front intercooler and sump guards are a must. The rest all depends on where you go, but again from what you describe, those 2 will do it for you.

6. Legal issues: well OJ threw a grenade into the fire, so before I comment, best I read his link.

I think you are over thinking it. To travel around the "different attractions" around Perth or even WA, you wont need to do much at all. As your skill level and confidence increases and you travel more technical ground or remote regions, then think about the other stuff. My mate Wazza, who comes on a few of my trips, has a near stock NX and he goes everywhere I do....and more reliably too. He also uses substantially less fuel too I might add.

Its pretty easy & they include how to instructions with it too as far as hpd go...

Can i just say with my first post as a recent (less than a week) owner of a stock 16’ GLS that this thread has been very useful to me as i also have little to nil 4x4 experience and had similar questions. I know the answers are already usually scattered in other parts of the forum, however its nice to consolidate and get new fresh opinions.
Good to see a forum with lots of very very knowledgeable people willing to help out all walks of life!
Cheers
