G'day mate - how about slipping over to the introductions section and throwing up a bit of information about you and your rig - a courtesy thing we request prior to asking questions etc - no harm done mate, but let's people know who they're yakking to and you'll get a better response to questions asked.

That said, welcome aboard and hope you stick around!! No doubt someone should be able to point you in the right direction ...

Thanks Guys,
Thought I had done intro but couldn't have saved it properly, look forward to further chats & info exchange as I want to take the Det out of the nator (motor), have already replaced air mass sensor as it was stuck 1/2 open and blowing smoke in lower revs, picked up power lower down.

Hi Col,
I've fitted the ASE intercooler, it's a bit bigger and thicker than the standard unit. It's also got a fan underneath which pulls heaps of air.
I've got some pics in my "Bear's GU ST build up thread". I'd post the link but I'm posting this from my phone so it's a bit of a pain...

I did fit one of these (ASE intercooler) about 2 weeks ago to our '05 ZD30. Had the EGR blocked as well. Seems to spool up quicker and rev more freely. Probably more fuel effecient as well. Can't put the engine cover on after installation. Hay BearGUST, did you have any problems with the fan? Mine rather than drawing air was blowing, hence blew the fuse. Had to cross the wires to achieve required result.

Thanks for the info, have taken on board as I am still researching, the one I was looking at is made by Aluminium Radiators & Engineering in Brendale Bris. & make a bigger modified air scoop that distributes the air evenly with louvers rather than shoving it all down the back.

ARE make a World Class product mate and have been instrumental in the development of the bonnet scoop. They want good coin for their scoop but there is significant R&D gone into it including hours in the wind tunnel.

Their Water to Air Intercooler is extraordinary to see and if you have the money to deal with ARE then you will be buying well researched highly regarded Product made in Australia to directly suit your needs.

I have NO Affiliation with ARE but read much about them and seen plenty of pics of their work and research.

Thanks for info, am still trying to get head around this program & new laptop, so if you read my reply to BearGUST this would be the same for you

Thanks again
