and it comes with a second one ready to fit up..

DEN81 is that a GU 3l air box you used there?
also how much are the filters for these and do they flow enough air for 15psi on a td42?

Hi badger,yes its off a gu zd30, was $156 for the secondhand air box and new element.Im only running 9psi at the moment and there is a noticable difference high in the rev range, also uses less fuel and the turbo sounds completely different, like it spins more freely!

Cheers Den

thanks sounds good. i think i might track me down one.

you got any [ictures of how you mounted the intercooler and what sort of scoop you used?

Wont have pictures until later in the week,its at a mates place having the pipes welded.Im using a gu scoop with 10'' thermo mounted underneath the cooler.

Cheers Den

some pics of my mates set up

Ok its mounted!






Few sharp bends but there was no performance drop,as i drove around with no scoop for a while. Works best at 60kms and above but the thermo fan will fix that. Lost about 1.5 psi so i plumbed the actuator into the intake side and seems to work well.

that 1600 makes baby jesus cry

Has anyone fitted a GU airbox to a GQ that has a 2nd battery fitted? Does it clear the tray OK?

does the gu air cleaner bolt straight in ???

Shame about that i/c piping as the rest of the job looks really good

was thinking the same, that pipe on the drivers side also makes the baby Jesus cry... :( flow in that pipe would be fucked!

Yes! I fitted a GU air box in with a piranha dual system!
Snug! but fits well!
Mine was a off a 2.8GU! just cut of the portion with the AFM!

Cool, Thanks for that, looking at the space it looks really tight and I couldn't picture it in there.

Yeah they are a bit sharp,will change them later. Had it dynoed the other day, went from 69kws at the wheels to 89.6 and from 3000n to 4000n of torque. Can realy feel the diference at as its all below 3000rpm.Pumps at the max as its ready for a rebuild.

Cheers Den

Here is mine not air to air but still a top mount intercooler as per subject.

Heath,
Have you got any idea what sort of temp drop was achieved across the Water - Air intercooler?

there is a write on the ARE web site, i remember reading about a couple years backs. http://www.are.com.au/feat/techt/airwaterinter.htm its half way down the page.

i think heath has gone the v8 route, i'm sure i seen his setup for sale on here.

Hey mate,

We would typically see around 100deg lowering of the air temps on the dyno, and about 115-120 out on the road with the extra air speed. I mounted the standard GU radiator in the rear and used it for the intercooler and it gave better thermal loading/extra water volume for slower speed 4x4 work.

The highest inlet temp we recorded was 36-39degree on at 31degree day on the dyno.

Turbo side of intercooler temps around 135-150 running 30-35psi

Cheers Heath

Thanks for the info Heath, thats some serious cooling! Anything special with the coolant people use...just water / glycol mix?

What sort of drop in intake temps are others getting with water-air I/C? i.e PWR barrels etc

This is where 99% of fools go drasticaly wrong.............

That intercooler, although large in size wont flow that great, the reason being the end tanks arent shaped to get the best airflow posiable from a core size as in the pic.
The intercooler setup in this case would only be using the bottom 2/3's of the overall core area simply because of the restrictive end tanks.

Looks good but dont work as well as it should.

Found this guy to be a good supplier......

http://stores.ebay.com.au/auturbo

great range and he will drop the '$50 postage' if you ask him to




Cant undestand why so many sellers have such high postage costs yet its usually only $16 to actually post !.....
leaving a so-called cost of $34 for packaging .......... wtf

Kingy

does anyone know what size core would best suit an sd33t?
