Top Performance Upgrades For The Y62 Nissan Patrol

The perfect mix of comfort, towing capacity and sheer V8 grunt, the Y62 Nissan Patrol has earned its reputation as a solid off-roader. However powering such a large, heavy vehicle can compromise on performance and efficiency, and that’s where Torqit has developed a product range to safely and effectively address the key problem areas.

Whether you’re touring around Australia, caravanning or just heading out on the weekend, we recommend combining these Y62 Patrol products for the ultimate performance upgrade.

TORQIT’S Y62 PATROL PERFORMANCE UPGRADES 

For a powerful V8 note and improved power, torque, response and fuel efficiency, these upgrades for the Y62 Patrol take a simple 4-step approach:

1. Twin 3″ into Single 3″ Performance Exhaust
2. High Flow Catalytic Converters
3. Performance Headers
4. Throttle control

Y62 PATROL PERFORMANCE EXHAUST UPGRADE

Torqit’s Y62 Performance Exhaust eliminates the restrictions of a stock exhaust to create a balanced yet powerful V8 note. Suited to models from Series 1 –5, the system runs from twin 3” pipes into a single 3” tailpipe and is built to:

• • • Maximise torque and performance.
    • Improve fuel economy by enhancing the engine output
    • Deepen the vehicle note with 304-grade stainless steel up to 2mm thick
    • Prevent drone with two resonators for a balanced note
    • Increase exhaust flow, and reduce EGTs and back pressure with mandrel bent pipe
    • Withstand extreme off-roading and rugged terrain

*Note the above system includes both high-flow catalytic converters and performance headers, which need to be purchased separately.

Running from the headers back, Torqit’s Y62 exhaust also includes a flex bellow for ease of fitment. It accommodates standard aftermarket upgrades such as bash plates, side steps, suspension upgrades, aftermarket fuel tanks, tow bars and a spare tyre. The exhaust bolts together and comes complete with a full fitment kit for DIY installation.

Listen to one of Torqit’s fabricators talk you through the exhaust design, or skip to 1: 18 to hear the exhaust note from inside and outside the vehicle.

For Y62 owners who do a lot of towing and touring, cabin drone is always a concern, and Torqit specifically has designed the Y62 system to eliminate this. Don’t just take our word for it, check out this independent review on Manta vs Torqit Vs Pacemaker Vs Dash Offroad…

Backed by a 10-year warranty, this Y62 Performance Exhaust is built to last the distance. Check out pricing and more information here.

HIGH FLOW CATALYTIC CONVERTORS: Y62 Nissan Patrol 

If your Patrol has been remapped, heavily modified, or upgraded with a supercharger/turbocharger, Torqit’s high-flow catalytic converters are a no-brainer for legally increasing your engine’s power output.

Made up of a honeycomb structure of precious metals inside a stainless steel case, Torqit’s cats have a 200 CPSI in comparison to the 400 CPSI of a standard cat. The reduced CPSI means the cats work harder and faster, providing:

• • • Increased airflow
    • Extra power and performance
    • Improved fuel economy
    • Lower temperatures and reduced EGTs

As with Torqit’s Y62 Exhaust, the cats are manufactured from premium 304-grade stainless steel and include a 10-year product warranty. Find out pricing and more details here.

PERFORMANCE HEADERS: Y62 Nissan Patrol 

Torqit’s Exhaust Headers for the Y62 Patrol help increase the flow of exhaust gases from the engine. By providing a more evenly balanced and efficient route for the gases to escape, headers produce:

• • • A significant boost in power
    • A louder note
    • Increased engine and fuel efficiency
    • Lower engine temperatures and reduced back-pressure

Torqit’s Y62 Headers are a long tube design and are finished with a tough ceramic coating that is rated to 1000 degrees. This Turbo X ceramic coating allows the headers to withstand extreme temperatures for long-term protection and performance, plus helps maintain the sleek appearance.

Made in Australia, these headers are backed by a three-year product warranty. Learn more about Torqit’s Header Features and pricing here.

PEDAL TORQ THROTTLE CONTROLLER: Y62 Nissan Patrol

If you haven’t already experienced a throttle controller, we know what you’re probably thinking. “They don’t make any difference”, or “I can get more response by just putting my put my foot down harder”.  In fact, a throttle controller is one of the cheapest, easiest upgrades you can fit to your Y62 Patrol, and the customer reactions we get have proved time and time again that you may need to actually experience the difference to believe it. To quote one Y62 owner, it’s a “frickin game changer!” Watch him try it out for the first time.

So what does a throttle controller do? The Pedal Torq reduces throttle lag so that your Y62 Patrol is quicker off the mark and has smoother gear changes. This increase in response is particularly noticeable when overtaking and towing, helping improve handling and control of the Patrol’s heavy body-on-chassis construction. Potential fuel savings are an added bonus – particularly when cruising long distances at a constant speed. There are two options to remove sluggish behaviour and enhance the driveability of the Patrol- the Pedal Torq or Pedal Torq Plus.

An insight into some of the Pedal Torq’s modes…

• • • Intelligent Mode: A great way to get a feel for the Pedal Torq, giving you personalised throttle control by automatically adjusting the response depending on your heavy/ light footed driving style.
    • Eco Mode: Tweaks the accelerator for a gentle increase in response while making sure the Y62 Patrol works as efficiently as possible. Ideal for improving fuel economy during touring and towing when moving at a constant speed, with a lot of extra weight on board.
    •  Off Road Mode: Perfect for intense off-road situations involving low traction surfaces, loose rocks and hills, this mode dials down the throttle for total control.
    •  Sport Mode: Ideal for safer driving, towing and overtaking, this mode provides instant response and grunt.
    •  Anti-Theft Mode: If where you park your Patrol doesn’t feel secure, you can use this mode to immobilise the accelerator for total peace of mind. Until deactivated, your rig won’t be going anywhere.
