Hi
I have a 2004 zd30 patrol . I'm chasing some advice as to what ic to buy . not rolling in cash atm .
So something not over the top would be good .
Thanks Craig
I have had one of these for three years now with no issues. http://www.brownsradiators.com.au/sh...&id=CACNIS1024
Reading here Cross Country seem to be popular as an upgrade, but if your stuck for cash a fully welded one should do the job, but make sure you are not getting a cheap and nasty.
2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder
And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.
IMO I think the cross country against an OE tigged intercooler is not worth the money.
Im talking bang for buck$$$, The CC IC will cost $1200 and up and if they are bothered to post
it.
A diesel Smart IC will cost about $350- $400 and have a similar outcome.
My money was spent on the above IC and I love it,
Make sure you get a pressure tested IC as well,tested to 60psi is ok

Something like this one wont break the bank and
pressure tested to 55 psi
Hi threedogs
Would you believe I already had that IC saved in my watch list ,the same with the adapter .
How much did the scoop cost and where from ? I have a mate who is a painter ,so that's all good as far as paint is concerned.
I would have thought that kind of boost would have thrown a code .
I'm running 315/75/16 tyres , we have a little "hill" near our place ,it's about 2km to the top . It is 18% to 20% for most of the way ,
coming over in 3rd for most and 2nd for the steep bit I'm seeing 550 EGT at the most . Is that safe ?
The IC is leaking a fair bit .
If you IC is leaking this wont be helping your EGTs. The scoop that John and shown a pic of is from a mob called A.R.E. If you can work out their website. Its on there somewhere. Good luck. http://www.are.com.au/index.htm

Had a dig around egay also and found an ic for $320 so it mite get the nod.
