Fitting New Intercooler to 1KZ-TE

[oldblue]

Has anyone fitted a 90series Prado intercooler onto a 70Series 1KZ-TE Motor? If so were there any tecnical mods that need to be done, or is it just bolt on and go. I know bonett clearance may be a problem.

done one on a surf but it was custom which i took the orig prado one off .

go for the biggest bodylift you can,cos the fact intercooled engine is ronounded for dying cos they put the cooler way too close to the rocker cover.

but oldblue it is a bolt on job aslong as youve got the pipes etc but make sure you get they core chemically dipped....and add a bonnet scoop....

AND REMEMBER THEY RETAIL @2500.00 YEP THATS DOLLARS EX TOYOTA

oh and do you own a egt guage

Krawlr, what is the porpose of chemically cleaning ? is it to make sure of complete cleansing inside. A friend has fitted a MR2 blower with a inter cooler to a 3lt N/A motor. The inter cooler dropped the egt from 800 to 600deg Very impressed.

for the simple reason they get oil blown through the cores ,dont forget were talking about an engine thats done 80,000ks plus.

good luck oldblue.
