D22 Forefront winch Intercooler

[Oldie]

Just got the full kit from Forefront.
Couple of things in the instructions which are a bit beyond my mechanical knowledge.
Anyone in the Perth metro area who can help with the installation ?
Free beer and maybe a bit of palm oil if ya know what I mean haha
Cheers

Everyone must be celebrating the WCE win over the Hawks.

 

[Oldie]

And the Freo Dockers over the Swans.
Wrong time of year with the finals going on haha

What specifically are you having trouble with?
Or - how far have you got so far?

 

[Oldie]

I haven't actually started but here's my problem.
where is the MAP sensor ?
I've attached 2 pages from the installation instructions.
Cheers

PS. I'm about to do a long trip, I don't know how old the turbo is but I'm thinking just put a new turbo on for the time being and do the intercooler when I get back. I'll be towing a camper trailer with about 750kg all up weight.

It is the plug thing which connects to that cast pipe

Yeah mate all good. I did reply back, but i will give you a call in the morning lol

 

[ant]

Keen to see what you think of it once its fitted up.

 

[Oldie]

I had the pleasure of meeting a true gentleman today, calls himself bods.
Without his assistance I would have been lost trying to get the intercooler done. He did a magnificent job.
My appreciation for what you did and the knowledge you have with navara's.
Best of luck with the trip you have planned and if there is anything I might be able to help with, just call me.
Cheers
Cliff

No worries mate. Glad the fit up went fairly smoothly and we got there in the end. Should go a bit better than it used to. At least you are giving it a good test for the first trip out. Will have to catch up and have a real drink at some stage haha. You have a good trip too.

 

[Oldie]

I think taste test of Jack and Jim is on the cards LOL maybe some bundy haha
I've had a change of plans. I'm now heading north to catch up with some folks I haven't seen for a few years. I might need to take Jack, Jim and bundy with me haha
But I'll lets ya's know how the old girl performs now with the intercooler.
PS. I did repy earlier but I must of clicked the wrong button haha

 

[Oldie]

bods, I forgot to say, if there is anything I can help you with, give me a call.

Couple of pics of how it fits once intalled. Bods did most of the work, Naah he did it all. I did some minor stuff.
The Horn, loosen the bolt and turn it to the drivers side.
The power steering cooler will need to be mounted underneath, horizontal. can be bolted on one end but mine is attached with a tie at the other at the fan plastic. There is a rubber washer of sorts between the cooler and fan housing, so there is some lee way there. Personal choice but it works.
There is one thing you have to watch out for , if you don't have an original Nissan snorkel, then you will need to do some modifications with what I think is the pre cleaner plastic. A bit of cutting and sealing.
The wind screen washer bottle neck does need some adjusting and cutting maybe trial and error but needs to be more than 60mm. Unless it needs twisting to fit but I couldn't get the grill back on. Some trial an error with that also.
Unfortunately I've just had to buy a new bottle neck, the old plastic was old and brittle and fell apart when I tried more cutting.
I now need to take the old girl out for a long run and see how it goes.

 

[bods]

Looks good if I do say so myself haha. Hope it all goes well on your trip.
