PATROL 3ltrTD recore old intercooler or go water to air

Post by rippin »

Hi all I have a patrol 3ltr TD. Turbo intercooler has holes in it, so time for a new one. Have looked in to it a bit and have heard the standard intercoolers are crap. Their is a place called PWR at Yatla that make a after market core then you reuse the ends of your old intercooler and weld them on. Another option was a water to air intercooler. If you can put one one a 3ltr TD. Any one have any ideas or info ? Does either one give you better performance ?

If you do water to air you'll have to get one of the end tanks custom made to fit the nissan boost sensor.

if i remember correctly the stock boost sensor has a connection for a hose on it (its inside the IC), so you should be able to fit a thin pipe to the IC and use a vac hose to connect it (and connect boost gauge to it to).

You do remember correctly.
I put mine back in an hour ago after bogging a few of the holes in the intercooler. (failed. Got heaps but missed heaps.)
There is a black pipe around 20mm long under the sensor. Run that from where you take the feed for the boost gauge & dawes valve from.
