dollythelw Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 intercool it!!! cost peanuts if you go down the scrap yard and makes a big difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorboy16 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 intercool it!!! cost peanuts if you go down the scrap yard and makes a big difference Dollythelw, Do you have a pic of your engine from above at all looking over the engine if possible? Cheers James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatboy Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I'm currently waiting for a replacement timing cover for mine, and the conversion kit so I can drop it all into the wagon. Then I can see how much space I've got as I'm hoping to fit a TD5 Intercooler in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorboy16 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 if you can FAtboy, im fitting a 300tdi radiator with a build in intercooler, is saving some space. I also have some mounts if you want them, brand new, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollythelw Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 these might help TD5 fits as well - but fiddly round the headlights with a series front end and doesnt really exploit the airflow too well old school cheapo solution that works well in Rangie conversions is my personal fave - the SAAB 9000 intercooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd thought of 300TDi but they are not very large which is why I was contemplating an ex-TD5 full width jobbie but the steering relay is going to make that tricky and Jez points out it is not very efficient... I can't really do much until i've dropped the engine in and had a mess about. As I see it: The intercooler has to go in front of the radiator so that it see's the coolest external air possible. I did contemplate putting a couple of switchable jap bike little fans in strategic areas to help force cool it a tad.. (The fans on my ZZR used to be able to shift some volume of air when it got hot..). The engine doesn't generate heat in the league of the V8 so maybe I'll use a different radiator or put it somewhere else.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 mr jez speaketh the truth my recommendation regarding intercooling would be to hit the scrappies and take the whole intercooler/rad/fan assembly and all pipework from something like a volvo 940 turbo, saab 9000 turbo, citroen xm or the like. in most of these cases you'll get a good sized intercooler and rad rather than the 1/2 sized land rover seem to supply for some reason. a long long time ago i started a thread regarding installing an intercooler from a saab 9-3 in my 110. i have about the biggest surface area which is possible to fit, but it meant the in/outlets had to go through the wings and it requires some rather creative pipework. that and the cost of silicon bends has meant that the intercooler has been in place for about 2 years, but not been hooked up (i also had to finish uni). i think i now have all the bits required to plumb it in, shich includes some disco pipework, some volvo turbo pipework and i actually bit the bulletand bought some silicone bends. the 4 bends cost me £60, and having paid £100 for a whole trooper from which to remove the engine i wasn't keen to spend more on wee bits of hose. that being the case i would recommend something that fires its outlets backwards (like the 9000 cooler on jez's pic of the rangie) and taking the rad that fits behind it as it will make your life much easier and make the cost of plumbing less. i shall go take some photos and resurrect my thread i think. seems to be a few folk dealing with this at the moment and it might be good to share some thoughts on the matter. once i get my egt/boost gauge wired up and move a few things in the engine bay, i should be good to go, finally. there is the thread i started http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=7909&hl= although i didn't really get too far.
