Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Folks,

A friend of mine recently added a small intercooler to his factory turbo Navara, and achieved quite a spectacular gain in RWHP and torque (he had it dynoed before and after on the same dyno on the same day). He used a small sidemount intercooler that (I think) was from an R32(?) Skyline, which he bought for $20. Using a few rubber elbows, bought for $1ea from the wreckers, and two lengths of exhaust pipe from Windsor Exhaust ($10) he plumbed it in in an hour.

I have a 1HD-T, and plenty of room under the bonnet. Is it going to work to install a similar intercooler on this motor? Will I have to do extra stuff to make it work?

i just bought an import sahara and was thinking the same thing today some body must know wealth of knowlage on vitaras just learning on the 80s also would 1 or 2 psi more from the turbo be asking two much. also puting 3 inch straight through exhaust is this to big or a good size just want to bring it up to 100s kws

If your sahara is a pre 95, het a beaudesert 3 inch mandrel exhaust on it, then look for a larger turbo as the std one looses blades, larger are on hdft, then intercool it from www.airpowersystems.com.au check out some of their goods...

ring goldcoast 4wd wreckers on 07 5591 5988 they have a safari kit top suit the 1hdt 80

they want like 2000$ for that i allready asked about it that has been there for ages thats why its still there

Keep an eye on ebay, saw a safari turbo and intercooler kit go for 1600 a few months back, that would have bolt straight on....the std hdt turbo has problems with overspeed if you boost it up, so suggest a later turbo from a hdft or similar safari offering. With an intercooler, you loose boost through restriction, so you need to boost higher to retain thesame max psi at manifold.
