You should have just said you didnt realise the exhaust had no cat, so you had to order it for legal purposes

Impulse lunch time buy!
Thermo gun and drill pump from Aldi. Will help with some oils. I doubt it'll work well with thicker oils like rear diff etc... But we'll see.

Maybe de-cant the oil into a smaller container and place it in a bucket of hot water to get it flowing better.

Thanks TD. Exactly what I done last time for rear diff. But with a Tom Thumb pump. Still took a bit, but got there in the end.

I just sat the diff oil in front of a floor heater in the garage for 10 minutes when i did my diff over the recent cold weekend. Worked pretty well.

As I understand it, water to air works well on petrol powered road cars where the boost is only in relatively short bursts and the water in the cooler gets some adiabatic cooling between bursts of high boost, they rely a lot on thermal mass.
Turbo Diesels run boost for long periods of time so they heat up the water & become less efficient.

Water to air will hold a more stable temperature on a diesel.

Heya bloke. Yeah out of Frozenboost. ordered 1st June, here 13th but spent more time in OZ than anywhere else en-route.

Didn't want a top mount cooler so vehicle remains as stock looking as possible. Th Pig has a front mount cooler and it creates probs with airflow when using big boost.

Also costs a psi or 2 with the 1/2k of plumbing from turbo to inlet. This lot should reduce egt's without boost loss.

They are a very solid unit the boxier one must weigh between 2-3 kg!

Both those units and the fillers cost less delivered than a single pwr unit. Very pleased!

Is the bigger one a type 17 1200hp core?

No bloke it's a type 10 only 600 hp, I think. Chose it more for how it would mount as opposed to any hp rating,

bearing in mind New Pig will only be around 130-140 ponies.

Cool. The type 17 is a 1200hp core and same shape as the one pictured. Currently using one on a patrol with around 200hp. In the process of getting a manifold fabricated that incorporates the core into it.

Hey bloke, great minds and all that! Wanted to do same with cores and manifold, had 'designed' the thing in my head but the nay sayers dragged me down

with cost and manufacture devils. The big argument was cooling, water in, from one end only, the exit of course is not as cool as the entry.

I reckoned water ingress from both ends and egress from centre. This of course led to arguments re welding/sealing at those ends of the core.

I backed down on it to get the build bloody well done. I do have a spare manifold tho. Will be giving it further thought as time allows!
