Td5 Intercooler


Recommended Posts

I've been looking to get an uprated intercooler for my Td5 Defender, but can't decide which one to get. I'm guessing the greater the surface area/amount of rows, the better the cooling effect will be. All the manufacturers claim to have 'the best' intercooler. Anybody got opinions? Anybody got comparisons of the square feet for each cooler?

Without a shadow of doubt, the intercooler sold by IRB developments are very well made and MASSIVE. http://www.irbdevelopments.com/ I previously owned an Allisport cooler however when I thought I was going to sell the 90 I sold all the performance bits.

After, when I changed my mind I came across 'Porny' at IRB on the landrovernet.com forums.

As everyone raves about his work on there I decided to order the Intercooler from him. Check out the pics:

Drop him an email or give him a bell for a good price, you wont be dissappointed.

Phil,

The IRB cooler is bigger by a couple of inches. Told you it was massive. Also has a denser more efficent core to it. One thing that I noticed between the Allisport one is that I didn't need to drill any holes to fit, but I did have to space out the slam panel diagnols (the two bars that run down from the slam panel/bonnet latch to the chassis)

It's fine though, you just need to space them forward slightly with supplied spacers.

Have you had the engine remapped yet ?

Gary @ TD5Alive suggests on his website that this would give more bang for your money and the intercooler would be then a phase 2 (or get the whole lot done at the same time ...)

Having had a remap my Defender drives much nicer !

Yep, I've had it chipped , made one hell of a difference, I just want that little bit more from the combo of chip and intercooler.

Does the IRB intercooler fit aircon models?
