MudRunnerTD's GQ From the Ground Up

[MudRunnerTD]

Well here is the next batch of pics from my buildup.

I had an opportunity to buy a full Frozen Boost Water to Air Intercooler system just after the strip down also and grabbed it for a good price. Brand new in a box straight from America. Slightly different to what i would have bought direct but something i could adapt to my needs i thought.

This turned into a MUCH BIGGER JOB than i was expecting and took several months to get it sorted.

The fit up i did was a little left field and took a fair bit of nutting out. I did not want to fit up the heat exchanger in front of the radiator as i did not want to cut the crap out of my grill so i went about trying to fit it all up under the bonnet.

Bloody tight fit and very difficult to sort out.

It took many many refits to get it all to fit and still be able to close the bonnet. I also had to be careful not to compromise the strength of the bonnet and still be functional.

Check out my pics.

Stripped everything off the top and found the guy that fitted up the turbo did not refit the rocker cover vent and that is the oil all over the place.


I retained the bracket from the MTQ air box and used it for this fitup. I made another bracket for on top of it and made it into a heat shield to help protect everything.


I didn't want to spend +$100 on heat shield material so i bought a tin drip tray from Super cheap and made my own




Spaced it out with nuts. very happy with it.


Fitted it up and mounted the Intercooler up. 1st fit of probably 20 times.






Made the intake bracket and adapted the other bracket from the MTQ kit to use at this end of the Intercooler
