Yoyodyne Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 My 1986 Rangie is powered (?) by a 2.8 Diahatsu turbo diesel. In an effort to wring more out of it I am thinking of fitting an intercooler. Anybody done this? Questions: Do I look round for a Diahatsu intercooler or cobble something together. Landrover 200 tdi intercoolers seem cheap and plentiful at the moment and would probably fit. What about the Landrover radiator with intercooler on the side? Where do I go for hoses to plumb the thing in - only sources on the net seem to be for the high performance brigade - with high performance prices! Any other suggestions? (don't say dump the Diahatsu lump!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi. i also have a rangie with this engine. athough mine is the early type that only has about 100mm of hose between turbo and inlet . not sure if i can fit an intercooler. just wondering what is yours like on pull away? mine seems gutless As long as you can get the hoses to fit any one should do. larger ther better though (intercooler that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoyodyne Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 I think mine is the same - there is only a couple of inches of hose between turbo and manifold. Pulling away isn't too bad but it just seems to run out of puff as it accelerates. Did you do your own conversion ? I bought mine already converted by Milners. Air intake is through a 200tdi airbox. I might look at putting a high-flow airfilter in when the time comes to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Range Rover Blues Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Pipework, Transit exhaust system. Not sure if a 200TDi rad will be big enough so I'd suggest an intercooler in fron tof it or perhaps below the front chassis crossmamber in all that loverly cold air. Cosworth/scooby/Merx.BWM etc. all have long square ones that might fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
