Hodge's new 4.2

This is something I thought about doing when I mounted my IC but I concluded that the hottest charge air was entering at the rear of my IC anyway and any deflector would only reduce the amount of air getting to the rear.

Heat moves pretty quickly in aluminium so I don't really know if trying to guide the airflow is worth it.
Most of the time, the higher road speed will be at less boost

I wonder why all the R&D on the A.R.E scoops then??

[Hodge]

For what its worth... My exCRD patrol was from country SA, Coober Pedy. The intercooler developed that red Sandy color on the front half of it, the rear half was very clean. Going by this I assumed that , it utilized only the front half of it , so the air charging was not spread across the whole of IC surface.... It shot down as soon as it enters the scoop...
Vanes would somehow help this ???

My little theory only.

Was it for a particular IC design?

I'm toying with the idea of fitting a temp gauge to the IC outlet to see if there really is any need to do something.
At the moment my IC fan cuts out after a couple hundred metres and it's near the IC outlet.

Edit: meant to say the temp sensor for the fan is near the IC outlet

It just those larger scoops that fit the OE tigged IC

I believe it was a police bus to truck cops between Adelaide and North SA towns, judging by the log books left behind ...

I am struggling to find right adapters for my water sensor and EGT probe. Went to Enzed and 2 other hyd. shops and they couldn't help me out.

My water temp hole is M12 x 1.5 and the sensor is 1/4 NPT.

EGT bung is 1/4 BSP and the probe is 1/8th NPT.

The bloke at Enzed found what he calls close enough for the water one The water one is a makeshift adapter consisting of 2 adapters, but the female is not NPT it is something else, but he reckons with a bit of thread tape it should work.... But also what he gave me, as you can see in one photo has a tiny hole through the adapter, which I am not sure, will be good enough for sensor to pickup the right coolant temperature through ????

Edit: The brass adapter in the photo is unrelated to anything here lol.

Hodge I will have a look tomorrow for you mate and get some part numbers for you if I can.

You can easily drill those fittings out as far as you can if you like.
