Hello all,

Noticed one fella on here (forgotten the user name Embarassed

) is running duel intercoolers on their 2.5.

Knowing how touchy the mitsi derv engines car be with heat, would a second intercooler be a worth while addition to help bring the engine charge tempature down? or would the extra cooler act more like an "interheater" due to the lack of bonnet vent not forcing air through it?

I am actually thinking of one new big intercooler at the front in front of the engine rad, (I took out the two Air/con rads and equipment a few months ago) so have loads of space to do this. Cool

Thinking of running all new 2.5 "/ 3" stainless pipe work on the left hand side of engine bay giving easy access to fuel filter and pump ect.. Very Happy

. No more taken the bloody intercooler off every time I do a service. Very Happy

Yeepeee

Hi, was running 2 on ours, only did basic tests as we knew we were moving to a proper fornt mount cooler, main issue with the factory one is its not got a overly good airflow over it, so 2 really just adds heat soat.... best move s to go front mount, you can keep the AC etc, if you dont mind loosing the grill..! heres the trial working out measurments of ours !

uses 3 inch piping throughout...

prototype manifold parts !

Nice job Stu,
been following your posts on the upgrade, cant wait to here about the results.
Think I have seen where 2.8 Bonnets are used to improve airflow, Im sure somebody will come along with more info
Merry Xmas & Happy New year to all

They do at about 5% on a 2.5 .....and no doubt someone will correct me Embarassed

I think the 2.8 intercooler can be made to fit with some mods.but I'm a Petrol Head so the Diesel guys will either confirm or violent3

the vent dont make much odds to be honest, we had a brief play with some temp probes, and there wasent much to be gained, its more.. asthetic !
