RE: Intercooler 617a

Hi guys,

have a question regarding the intercooler. Fitting one behind the grill would it still allow for enough airflow to the radiator without having overheating issues? Would be kind of a thight fit with th ac radiator installed?

RE: Intercooler 617a

It is not a 617 a, It cannot be fitted with AC, otherwise it is fine with no overheating problems.

RE: Another G Rescued

Yes, a long day, but good fun. Any excuse for a nice drive in a G and a damn good steak at Fred's. It's not often i have to fill up with diesel 3 times in a day

RE: Another G Rescued

Interesting stuff those air to air intercoolers.  Would you mind posting some pertinent information from the ones you have?

Inlet/Outlet diameter?

tank size?

Tube size, number of rows deep and high?

These are a double-cross flow, right?  Flow goes across the top, down the far tank, and back across the bottom, right?

Also if you don't mind, how do they compare, size wise to the custom job in your red truck?

It would be good information to have.  I'm thinking of setting up an electronic temperature gauge with a number of inputs selectable.  I often wonder what the ambient temp is out side, underhood, and at the turbo inlet.  I should do that set-up and then I'd have some basis for deciding what, if anything, an intercooler could do for me.

I don't know if it's due to the "ceramic" (this stuff is like Jet-hot) coating I did to the exhaust manifold or not, but my underhood temps seem to be really cool, even after long strenuous drives.  On the same routes where my buddy with VW TDi retrofitted to his SIIA 88" says he can feel power going away as underhood temps go up, I don't get the same effects at all.  I'd like to be able to quantify what's going on under there though....

DOH!  There I go rambling again.

Nice find Bill!  And nothing beats a good road trip to pick up a vehicle.  Did you drive it back home?.....editing now....I just saw the picces with it on the trailer....  Ye Pansies!  :^)))))

RE: Another G Rescued

Unfortunatley UK Law does not allow driving a vehicle on road without road tax, insurance etc, but it was considered
Now lets see the pic taken at DISC Mark, that will raise some questions.
