    Yes it will because it will clean out all the carbon and soot build up in your engine. Of the Elgrands I have seen on the road all of them seem to smoke under even light acceleration. I can go full throttle on mine and it does not smoke my emissions test I got a 0.25 which is about as good as you can get.

    The other things you can do is the air intake mod, the Elgrands do over fuel abit. When you do the intake mod it makes it run leaner and cleaner. Not to mention it's much more responsive due to quicker boosting. The oil catch can is also a must if you want to keep things clean.

    Adding a boost gauge is not a bad ideal either so you can make sure your engine is performing like it should. Stock boost should be around 8psi to 9psi. I run 15psi on mine, but a stock set up you can run 10psi no problem, exhaust gas temps still stay in the safe zone.

    I like to keep a eye on things. Boost gauge and Exhaust gas temp gauge are direct measurements of your engines health and performance. High exhaust gas temps can kill the turbo or engine.

    My set up. There is also a nice spot to the left of the steering wheel were you can mount a gauge using a hole saw. I put in a volt meter because most factory battery warning lights don't come on until it's too late and your battery is dead and your stranded. Saw my volts go to 8 and I knew the battery was about to give out. Sure enough next day it would not start. Get rid of that Japan none climatized battery as soon as you get the chance.




    My exhaust gas temps never go above 1000F post turbo even at 15psi of boost so I can still go up on my boost safely. And she boost instantly as you can see from the video just playing around at partial throttle on Clark.

    Looks like the ZD30 motor is not really a common rail in the elgrands it just has a much higher pressure radial injection pump so 2T is fine to use in it.

    Makes a world of difference on the QD32 that's for sure.

    Here is a study done in the US on diesel fuel additives 2T oil comes in very high in the ranking.

    sir, i actually dont have an Elgrand. Im here in the forum because i read your previous posts regarding the mods that you have done

    for the injection, im thinking of adding one to lessen the grey/light black smoke that my pajero fieldmaster emits during sudden hard acceleration. and ofcourse, also to add extra power.

    Pajero's do pretty good on the water injection as long as you add alcohol they don't like 100% water at least not with a 3gph nozzle. Here's a dyno for the 2.5 and 2.8 liter engines. I would highly recommend the boost mod for the 2.8 engine or 2.5. The extra boost along with the cooling give a much better gain.




    I believe this was with around 20% rubbing alcohol denatured or methanol would do much better for power and cooling.
