    my water to air intercooler install

    I have posted a few pics already but I thought I would do a diy thread.

    I had to juggle this instal around work so it took alot longer than I hoped but anyway.
    most of the work was done a couple of weeks ago on my last leave. today I installed the wiring. it came pre wired but I wanted it in a j-box and the loom wouldnt fit in so I rewired it and tested it today and it works..happy days. It has an 80L/min davis craig pump . which is 2 speed. A 1.6 ohm resistor gives the pump 5.5v for the slow speed and it has a pressure switch which switches at 7 psi, switching a relay to bypass the resistor and give the pump a full 12 volts. I also has a timer which is delay off. When I drop below 7 psi it keeps the pump at full speed for 20 second to help remove any excess heat. here is a few pics

    Cheers
    Benny

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Nice tidy setup the ben. Some nice ceramic coating on the exhaust manifold would have it looking even better. As for your EGT's it will certainly help especially once pushing about 30 psi through it . That is the plan isnt it?

    yeah the exhaust does look pretty crappy, may be another time it has spent far too much time in the shed this year. not quite 30psi yet my turbo wont make that much. lol

    You are looking at a united TD05 at some stage werent you? Or are going down a different path? It will sick the to seee you results. Even with your current turbo and that intercooler you should be able to pretty much max your fuel pump out now and not even worry about EGT's.

    I hope so I already have a mistubishi tdo5h you get with the DTS kit but thats as far as I have got with the turbo, it has only done 23k since new so I havnt thought about upgrading yet.

    Believe it or not that turbo will push up to 30psi with minor high flow. The ones that come with the DTS kit are a TD05 16. United modify these again to get some more puff out of them. What sort of numbers are you looking at?

    I was going to push about 22ish through at first, as for numbers I want to be surprised but if it is below 200hp I wont be happy, well as long as it is more than bigrigs i'll be happy lol
