I completed this upgrade on my factory intercooled TD42 recently. The new HPD intercooler brought my EGT's down significantly. Even though I had a dyno tune done with the original intercooler giving me great numbers there was a noticeable difference with the new intercooler installed. I believe it was definitely worth the money. Thanks for another great video Tim!

G'day mate, Thats great results you have gained from installing a larger intercooler. They do make a difference with keeping EGT's under control. Thanks for your reply mate. Cheers Tim.

That is a nice upgrade to consider for a turbo diesel motor...video came together nicely and cleared everything...thanks for sharing.

Just curious how the new mounting frame goes for that big intercooler....I have looked at the big HPD unit, the frame looks very close to the positive battery terminal....that is why I have been considering just the smaller HPD unit, as it is quite a bit thicker than the factory unit, and it has the fan...and there are no modifications required to the bonnet. Think there is a new scoop also with a bigger opening....

No mention that it’s illegal to cut bonnet bracing.

Is there a reason you did not go for a front mounted intercooler instead? The cool air from the front is going to do a better job than the hot air from the engine bay?

@timbates4wdadventures

G'day Andrew, Front mounted intercoolers are more efficient than a top mount. But its getting all the plumbing out the front to connect up a front mount is where a lot of cost would come in. Thanks mate for your feedback. Cheers Tim.

All this is because of engine tune. If you don't need to tune your engine, you don't need bigger intercooler. Engineers in Nissan are not stupid. Ask yourself if you need to tune your engine. 9 out of 10, you won't need to. Use money on holiday going around Oz, instead of the new intercooler.

@@radod6147 The factory intercooler is junk even on an unmodified engine, they get hot and pull power out. An Intercooler upgrade is a great upgrade even on a stock vehicle, especially if you are towing.

We’re the temperatures taken whilst driving or lifting the bonnet in the workshop with the flir camera, or was there temps taken via gauges on the inputs and outputs whilst driving? Because if not the bigger intercooler was only acting as a bigger static heat sink.
