Intercooler on 80 series.

Post by Travo »

Has anyone fitted an intercooler to a turbo diesel 80 series and was it worth the effort?

I run a air to air intercooler and yes it is worth the effort.


If they didn't work then all these new 4bys coming out wouldn't have them standard.
My Cruiser is Environmentally Friendly.

It runs on recycled Dinosaurs.

Add a pyro in and watch the inlet charge drop - and the engine last longer...

Notice in summer how you loose boost??? bingo! not with the I/C.

try and avoid a bonnet or top moount - heat sink kills efficiency.

Pyro(meter) : Its a thermometer for your exhaust gas temperature or EGT as its usually known by.

Adding the intercooler reduces the temp and you get cooler air into your engine.

Pyro gauge - buy from a truck parts mob - cheaper. VDO is a good brand. They have full kits availabel - all you have to do is get an exhaust hookup done.
As for Intercooler - you can either get one made up custom or get an off the shelf deal. PM me if you want to be pointed in a direction.
