Intercooler on a noseless Mitsu van?

**blue** · February 28th, 2004 01:28 AM

Curious lang po. If you have an L300 van or even a Delica for that matter, can you add an intercooler to its already cramped engine bay? (An intercooler for 4D56T costs around 3k in surplus shops) If yes, where could you recommend to put it? And considering it already has a turbo installed, what other parts do i need to produce for the intercooler to work?

Thanks and warm regards,

inadequate ba talaga ang power ng turbo-charged 4D56?

try fabricating an intercooler (ala lancer evo or audi 1.8T) that can fit just below (and in front) of your radiator. I just don't know if the fascia of your van can fit the intercooler just below the front bumper diffuser. custom-made intercooler pipings and availability of silicon hoses are therefore mandatory.

A cooler air that is mixed with fuel is more efficient than hot air (as in air/fuel ratio),,,thus the use of an intercooler.

Thanks woodfire. I was also considering that area but i would be needing longer hoses for it to reach the engine bay. Considering sa may lower bumber nga ito ilagay, wala na kayang ibang kailangang bilhin(aside from the hoses)? The intercooler aux fan might be manual triggered by an eternal switch di ba po?

Kung bumper mount, kahit wala nang fan ok na yan.

Bawasan ang panunuod ng 2 Fast 2 Furious, baka sa susunod marinig ko palalagyan mo naman ng nitrous, with the hose inserted by drilling a hole thru the valve cover. :bwahaha:

Tama si Otep, no need for an aux fan if it will be mounted just below the bumper. the ram-air effect in this location will be optimal already.

For hoses, pa-fabricate ka na lang (as in stainless steel). Fusion R (E. Rodriguez) or ERL (sa C. Benitez near P. Tuazon) are well qualified to to it. Meron silang contact na may mandrel bender.

Thanks for the info.

As i was thinking, my original plan is to use rubber hoses muna and use metal pipes as "connectors" (to initially see if it works). If it works, i'll use metal pipes na later. But then again, baka mas mapamahal ako???

Oh well, thanks again!!!
