What engine is in your Patrol?

Post by ... rick »

BBM is looking at producing it's own water-to-air intercooler kit through our Sister business, SABER. I am just trying to get an idea as to what the most popular engines are. I have a fair idea, but just thought I would put up a poll to confirm.
Would you be keen on a quality Water-to-air cooler kit?

good to hear you listen to me,

i reakon if you set up bolt on kits for factory turbo'd trucks and do it yourself kit for the rest of us,

you can used the same heat exchangers, radiators, fan and pump, just dont supply the pipe work, as there are alot of custom turbo kits out there,

i will be the test dummy if needed,

I have an air to air setup and dont have an issue with exhaust temps.

Have you considered front and top mount kits for the patrols as some people arent fans of water to air..

I have a few of these wagons.

2 X TD42T
2 X Aftermarket 4.2
1 X factory NA 4.2

The PWR IS the "in between" cooler.
I got set up with 6" x 8" water air for about $2k kiwi.

... and some people dont have room/space to put a worthwhile sized (volume) radiator for the water to air. No use having water to air if you cant cool the water enough...

if you "trim" the thickness of the plastic grill you will be surprised how much cooler with fans attached you can fit in behind there on both sides and still keep the AC condenser.

I only bought an RB30 Pooey because of the VL/Skyline parts scene, very easy and relatively affordable to make lotsa power, cooler was fiddly because I spent 2 hours with a grinder taking off a mm at a time of each fin, but end result stock look and air con still there. I think it looks silly when people punch the grill out and have a massive front mount poking through, its a bit look at me look at me lol.... The sleeper look is what its all about, building a new motor for it now looking at chasing some bigger numbers.

funniest thing for me is when people here it dose/flutter they boot it, get in front stick head out window and look under the bullbar for the cooler lol, how long do they think it would last down there hahaha
