One day I might change mine. Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk

I was a little hesitant too Mudski with a front mount and I won't lie there was a slight initial increase in water temps along with my free @bennyboy high mount but I became proactive with keeping it clean.

The lower EGT was honestly light years ahead of a top mount (along with the right turbo and set up) and even after a muddy event wasn't a critical concern of water temp.

I know there's a lot of kettle stories floating around and yes possibly a slight issue all round with mr Nissan td42 it's not an issue if you set it up right and be proactive with cleaning if you're into muddy tracks.

I think the old TD42 kettle story comes down to maintenance... Mine doesn't get hot and I only know one person's how did and he is notorious for doing dodgy work on his car.

UFI are doing an oversized viscous hub and fan setup with very good results, cost around $600 i believe, i will be getting one prior to xmas as im heading south.

I just spent a little time crawling around the GUIV. Holy bat shit!! A front mount is gunna big a bloody mission!! There is some Stuff in the way!! The Aircon condenser is huge and there is an oil cooler in front of that. I could make the cooler fit but seriously going to struggle getting the pipe work to it!!!

What is the smallest pipe I can run from turbo to intake via a FMIC? I was working on a 3" kit but needing to re think this if I can!

The turbo outlet wouldn't be more than 50mm or so? What is the downside of smaller tubing?

Apologies Daz, big day mate, what power ya chasing?

Not huge power. Thinking 120 to 140 by the sounds of things.top end of that would be great.

Really keen to sort out my exhaust temps when towing and on the beach. Full rethink on it.

At this stage it's looking like the Borg Warner turbo coupled with an upgraded intercooler and airbox. If I can fit s front mount I can use the saved cash on the snorkel and airbox so keen on that.

The plumbing for the front mount is bloody tight though!!

I wouldn't go any less then 2.5". You can do 3" mate, I believe in you're angle grinding skills ;)

Volume mate!!!

My EGT's are high though anyway. Haven't seen over 400c yet, even with towing... One day I'll look more into it....

The cooling system on mine is well maintained. Better air flow I think it needs.

Does it really require one?

No. A water to air system doesnt require thermostatic control of the water. We want all the cooling all the time. You will also find that a w2a system will run higher pressure than what most recovery caps can handle anyway once the system is bled and charged.
