Hi
I am looking to install an intercooler to my 2000 gu td42t. Has any body fitted one to their patrol? I have 3" pipe (dump included) and I am wondering what sort of power increases I can expect. The safari spiel advertises 18% power 16% torque increase, if they follow the form of most manufacturers this would be the absolute max one would expect to gain. From the web photos the heat exchanger looks quite small, too small to drop air temps substantially perhaps? At $1600 for kit retail, for such a small looking heat exchanger seems bloody steep to me. The advantage for me living in
Alice Springs where we pay through the nose for everything is that the whole show comes as a kit that I expect to be able to pay for myself, thus negating the need to use our local overcharging hacks to fabricate anything. There is a good mechanic for tuning/servicing just not making intercoolers.
Would appreciate
feedback from anyone who has used a safari intercooler, or knows of any bolt on alternatives.
Thanks Chris.

Anyway, I'm nut gunna type it all again....
Suffice to say, I suggest you consider either a Denco intercooler (see their web-site link on here as they are a sponsor/advertiser). This is a liquid cooled unit.
Alternatively, you might be able to get a custom made one from PWR (see www.pwr.com.au). I have one of their radiators in my 2000 GU 4.2 TD. I think their intercoolers would need a hole cut into the bonnet and a scoop mounted; not sure.
