Denco's liquid to air intercooler??

he has found that he can run more gauges, and senders and bull bleep in his cockpit.

I think Roachie is a bank manager and it could be your money he is using----lol.
Hey Roachie why don't you just unbolt that lump of lard from under your bonnet and replace it with 6.5ltr of turbo charged chev and be done with it.
You could then hang road train signs front and rear....hehehe.
Safe travells

G'day Trevor,

I thought it very odd indeed mate.............. Denco's website specifically states that water-cooled turbos are NOT the way to go. Yet Nissan's 4.2 turbo IS water-cooled, so I naturally thought that this could be something to look into. When I phoned and started to explain to Shane that I had a 4.2TD GU which gets a bit too warm, he immediately jumped in (thinking I was phoning him about the intercooler; not the Schwitzer turbo) and said he knows exactly what I'm phoning about and that their water/air intercooler will fix my over-warming problems. I said, no I wasn't ringing about the intercooler, but the oil-cooled Schwitzer turbo replacement, he said...no, you don't need to do that; the intercooler will do the trick.....

I have sent a email enquiry from their website, offering to trial one of their intercoolers and reporting my findings on here if they are soooo sure it will fix my concerns. I suggested they could sell it to me at a largely reduced price and it would serve as excellent advertising for them if I was to report back onto here (EO) about how good their product is. I don't know how many of these units they've sold or fitted, but you'd think that at least ONE of the several hundreds of people who look at this site would have fitted by now. The fact that it appears there are no EO people with one fitted, would seem like a perfect opportunity for Denco to take up my challenge......their sales could sky-rocket if Roachie reports good news after fitting their whiz-bang inter-cooler!!! hehehehe.

I know it must seem like I am being very mercenary (spelling???) about it, but quite frankly I am sick of spending money to correct what may only be a minor concern, only to find that I have wasted my money. Radiator = $1100; Fan clutch = $320-; bonnet scoop = $130-; extra Davies Craig electric fan in front of airconditioner = $130-; 3 gauges to monitor temps of coolant, egt and oil (sump) = $600-+ etc etc. That's well over 2 grand and nothing has changed!!!

I'm thinking it has to be a very fundamental issue.....nothing could be more fundamental than having a fast-whirring water-boiling device (ie: turbo) sitting there calmly heating up the water which I'm trying to keep cool.

That's a great idea for a marketing ploy, I am sure they would get heaps of sales out of good reports by you on this site as everybody in Aus. knows of your plight (just digging) so a fix would meen instant fame for the resultant company and their product.
I understand what you are saying about the water cooled turbo heating up our precious engine cooling water. But I have had the opportunity to see the block of a 1HZ against our patrol's and the difference in the size of the water jackets is huge (in favour of the toyota's), I think the problem lies here. Again just my thoughts.
I have had very little opportunity to put the BIG trailer on the back of the Nissan lately so my running temps are not a true indication of what they would have been 2 years back, when I was towing the big one at all times.
As for spending good money after bad I won't start on the two lots of 3grand I've spent on mine or the other bits in between.

Cheers mate keep up the good work. I may come to you for a loan if Denco come to the party and it fixes your prob, as it would give me greater piece of mind as well. :-))

Mate I just had a thought, Denco, is that the mob in Wagga NSW?
If so they worked on mine in the early days to no avail. I know things may have changed in 4 1/2 yrs or so but thought it worth mentioning.

Truckster is always singing the praises of Denco and I would like to as well; but I need a reason to do so first!!! hahaha

Cya mate

Roachie

I was about to add, before I pressed the wrong key, so did 100% of Nissan dealers I delt with up and down the east coast.

I have sent a email enquiry from their website, offering to trial one of their intercoolers and reporting my findings on here if they are soooo sure it will fix my concerns

I tried that too :(

Thanks warthog.....will try t'morrow

Roachie

Thanks Peter,

I have done the scoop in such a way that I can reverse it if need be. However, even put on backwards (to allow hot air to escape onto the windscreen etc) it did not seem to make any difference.

Cheers

Roachie
