does fitting a larger intercooler to a 300tdi defender really work.

been looking around on the net, and some companies reckon that fitting an uprated intercooler will increase the bhp by around 30hp. is it worth the 300 odd quid that it costs.

cheers

YES

with the right mods on a 300tdi 160+bhp is achievable for not a lot of wedge

i currently run a FMIC, full exhaust Tweaked pump & boost & make approx 150bhp out of a 200tdi

to get that much power out of it, how much would you need to spend, and would it cause alot of wear and tear on the engine.

Mark_Solesbury:
Mines got an Alisport one, but the same physical dimensions as the standard one - inside is a lot bigger though.

I would think it makes a lot of difference - i would imagine a full length one would be even better :)

Rasbo:
yes they make a real increase in performance.  In a diesel engine, for optimal performance you want the air as cold as you can, so the bigger your intercooler the cooler your air/exhaust gas the more power you'll get. much of this is due to the fact air gets denser as the temp decreases. also adding a forced air intake and a fine meshed airfilter will get you a few bhp, best 'ram air' for a 4x4 is prob a safari snokal as it fets the higher cooler air agin increasing performance and economy
