intercooling a hilux

[granborismo]

there is possibly room but heaps more work to pipe it. plus risk of damage at the front end. im not sure you would get a much bigger one in to be honest unless it hung down low.

nice one!!, how does it go getting a grill and bull bar on, much work??

yeah, that is post turbo temps... but anyway doesnt seem like your talking about the same engines...
coz a 2L or 3L would melt to peices running at those temps...

I'm thinking the same thing cause if mine gets to 450-500 I'm backing off the gas !!!

Hehehe i'm hoping for similar numbers with a proper ECU, but different measurement

Bullbar is fine (TJM alloy), had to cut heaps of the back of the grill off. Though it still has the full grill appearance, only the fins are shallow.

I think you should check your probe position and accuracy too. There won't be much worse than melting your engine because your probe isn't giving you the correct temps.

430 on the flat (preturbo) is normal range, that's pulling 9psi on a 3.9L engine. I back off at 750C, on longer hills I keep it to about 600/650.

No, I haven't seen a 3.9L 2 or 3L

I still think your probe is probably not reading the true gas temp as a 20 year old horse would outrun a diesel producing only 450-500C in a true reading
