Post by **spice** » Wed Nov 20, 2002 3:13 pm

how hard would it be to hook up a intercooler for the lux? at the show i asked around an noone made em for the lux as there wasnt enought room in the engine bay which is true but a front mounted one there is room between the grill an radiator so anyone have any ideas on how much it would cost? could i do it myself etc etc

Just go to a Jap wrecker and get an ex-supra IC or something similar. Ive heard of them going for around the $250-$350 mark. Put it in and get the pipework done to suit. It wont be as good as the APS kit but I bet it is alot cheaper.

we custom fit intercoolers all the time the safari one will only be compatible with there turbo kit. to get a cooler made and fitted depending on size and pipe material costs about $1500

If u wanna do it yourself and on the cheap but effective, go to a jap wrecker and buy a Series 4 RX7 intercooler they cost around $200-$250 ea and flow 370cfm. Mount the cooler where u want it then figure out your piping, how many bends u will need and what angle. Then go to an exhaust shop and buy the bends and a straight piece should cost u no more than $80 fit it all up, tack it in place then weld it up properly and finish it off with a nice coat of paint. 8)
If you are in Sydney i have 2 S4 RX7 coolers 4 sale, 1 for $150 or 2 for $250 and yes you can cut the end tanks off and join 2 together.

Re mazda intercooler, what would be the minimum flow requirements of a turbo TD42 nissan?

Also, what is joining two together going to do to the overall efficiency/airflow. :?:

Dunno what the flow requirements of the td42 would be.

Greater surface area catches more air and cools the charge more effectively giving you lower intake temps.

No Spice, must be two of us. C'mon all u injuneering types, would one of these RX intercoolers be large enough for a patrol diesel or would it rob too much boost??

I've got cooler cores that'll REALLY cool down the TD42. Trouble is, they don't fit behind the grill.
Most of the intercoolers I build are for stinking hot rotors, VL's and Skylines. I've got bar & plate cores 300mm high by 400mm & 600mm long and 76mm thick.
It's the thickness that's the problem with fitting to most 4x4's.
Regards Andrew.
ps here's a tube & fin one for a supercharged Falcon.

I had to rip the front end off my patrol to re fit my intercooler cause ARB did a shit job on it, it was floating around in its mounts and rubbing on the bullbar, it not a hard job it u can get the piping made up to suit
