modded xr6 intercooler into the 03 str

[ben85]

the stocker should be big enough, the larger one might be harder to fit. maybe someone thats fitted the xr6 cooler can help you there.

you probably wont be able to fit a winch with the xr6 cooler, something to think about if u do much 4x4ing.

wouldnt hurt to fit a thermo fan or 2 to the stock xr6 cooler.
will help in slower driving conditions such as hill climbs off road.

Would this be better than a stocker? would it be harder to fit? I like the idea of somthing catching the fins before they hit the pistons/valves

Hey mate
If you are after a stock xr6t intercooler, ive got one for sale at the moment.

When doing the XR6 I/C mod, does it matter much which end of the I/C you use for inlet/outlet? ie are they designed to flow better in one particular direction?

I got my XR6 I/C mounted on the weekend.
Now, I just have to get the piping and hoses sorted.

So basically if ( like me ) you have a winch and steel bullbar it would be almost impossible to fit a front mounted intercooler? Would a water to air intercooler kit be suffice then?

D22 with bravo intercooler

Hey jaymac water cooled more effective at crawling pace but you pay more for em.
I've got a tigerz 12000 winch fitted in custom tube bar. Winch height sits just above chassis rails. Hope this gives you some idea for room even though I've used a bravo intercooler.

2 inch piping

Remounted brake cooler in front with modified stock lower mount

Hot pipe run between chassis and radiator support thanks to 1 inch cab lift

No problem. I can try get some better pics and a list together of everything I used if you want.

That's alright mate don't want to trouble you that much. Just wondering though, how much did the intercooler cost you?

$50 for the intercooler with the bravo pipes as well. I used one untouched and cut the other up to make joiners. Little over $200 for everything

good find with the tank - nice fit and the in/ex are in a great position to work with. who cares if it's front mount, at $30 a through drive it like it's stolen ,')
I "was" looking at a top mount but the best and ausie made ones are over $1400-00 ???for a top mount- nice unit but far to expensive I thinks...keep us posted with the fit love the pics..

I scored a 3lt TD rodeo intercooler for free. Am planning this mod, does it matter which side I make hot or cold?

 

[Rumpig]

Nah, shouldn't.

hey, looking at buying a 2007 d22 zd30 with 140,000 kms on it and just wondering if it was worth it? and if so, what are some things to do that would make it more reliable? cheers

 

[Rabbid-chop]

140k - Its just a baby. Is it early 2007? We stopped getting the zd30 in 2006 (i think).
1st thing to do for reliability is block the EGR and fit a catch-can.

New shocks if it hasnt already got some. The std ones were useless from factory.

Sorry to wake this thread up, but looking at a water/air intercooler for my D22 2004.

Yay/nah? The intercooler will be moutned as close as possible to the engine but will be wrapped, with the radiator mounted up front.
