I've settled on which 3" exhaust I'll get, and suspension, but I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for an intercooler upgrade for my lovely old RD28ETi Patrol.
She is mechanically awesome and was extremely well looked after, but I'm trying to minimise the lag in 1st gear taking off, particularly when facing uphill and just give her a bit of breathing space when driving on and off road.
Theres a few slightly larger IC's available on eBay. How much better it will be I am not sure. They are fairly cheap too so the hip pocket hurt wont be as bad as buying top dollar ARE or Cross Country cooler. Plus I am pretty sure that a bigger IC wont help with the lag you speak of. It may but I am not sure. I would get the truck dyno tuned. Probably the best thing for you to do next I would guess. As on the dyno they can try to tune out this lag, and even give you better advice on what to do.
Thanks for that info, they seem to be around the $280 mark but I'm guessing that most will perform better than the standard unit. I'll eventually get a chance to do the dyno but thought i should get the upgrades first then get it tuned. Well, at least that's what's been suggested to me 😊, hoping that's the correct path to take.
Any suggestions about where to get the dyno tuning done and what $$$ i might be looking at?
