Full width intercooler with close fitting winch
Axetamer:
I wouldn't say they are totally different reasons, just the added bonus of on road gains as well :D, I use mine truck as a weekend toy, when I get one off, and as a project vehicle to keep my hands dirty with, having been out of engineering for over 10 years. I'm not the best at communicating my thoughts to words some times. :embarrassed:
So offroading gains are minimal?
Epicyclic:
Won't a larger intercooler, if it's close to the radiator, just absorb more heat from the water radiator at low speeds unless lots of air can be forced through both rads with fans? I thought that some challenge trucks now don't have intercoolers to reduce throttle lag and to keep it simple.

ignore people,
ive had a 200tdi opend to the max on my comp truck
it was usless with 35" simex on road and offroad it simply didnt have enough beans to get in the right gears ( for me 2nd 3rd and 4th )
so i fitted a full width and the gain was amazing, just make sure you keep the viscous fan and if poss a leccy fan aswel so both of them are pulling air through.
or.....fit a td5 and be done with it like me :twisted: :twisted:
Axetamer:
How about 2 leccy fans, I think the cowl and viscous may have to go to allow the rad to be moved back a bit, but what about the oil pipes to the cooler, do you recon they will need any mods or replacement ?
The standard size replacement is much easier, but I don't do easy, I like a challenge ;)
extreme90:
discovery pipes ;)
or cut and shut them
