im looking to add an intercooler to my GU Y61 which has a 4.2 lt turbo diesel. Should i go with top or front mounted ?, what size ? which make ?
and also what are the turbo upgrades available for this engine that are reliable and long lasting. a friend suggested axtturbo. any inputs ??
Thanks
Intercoolers, there are many top mount options.
A.R.E Cooling intercooler and scoop option.
Cross Country intercoolers.
ASE intercoolers
Just to name a few. There are many more.
Personal message Threedogs about his intercooler, as I can't remember where he got his from ( it was a cheaper option from some of the top brands) and he is very pleased .
As for the turbo upgrades you might want to do a search on turbos and intercooler as many of our Patrologists have done these upgrades.
Try the search function first, you should get plenty of info.

What fuel lump are you running? If it's standard then I have the same pump running a Garrett GTX2863 turbo and last weekend I put on a Cross Country top mount intercooler. I have not cut the hole for the bonnet scoop or had it tuned yet so I can't really comment but it seems very good so far. Will let you know next Tuesday!
Got sick of Motorculture so gone back to Tappa

Ive been doing some reading on this forum which has led me to the air to liquid intercoolers. love the technology and seems like the best solution with the least amount of work for the TD42t so i'm going to fix this type of intercooler from frozenboost.com. its very cost effective as well, check it out when you can
Hey Winnie, sorry missed your question. i have the standard pump which is a Zexel and the standard turbo. i am going for the ar to liquid intercooler from frozenboost.com. lets see how it works. hows your intercooler working. if you havent cut a scoop on the bonnet i think u should if not the intercooler will be very ineffective, get as much cool air on that radiator . cheers
vik
Yeah I got the scoop on and the cooler is very effective! MudRunnerTD has got the frozenboost water to air cooler you are talking about.
Thanks Winnie, ive sent MudRunner a message and cant wait to place my order.
I've just bought a factory nissan job off gumtree for $500 complete with scoop and all plumbing . Bolted straight on and looks standard
