We offer a number of upgraded intercooler options for the Air Con models, designed and built by ourselves. The first is designed to fit into the original mounts next to the radiator. This has been redesigned to gain an extra 50% more surface area over standard and will provide 18-20% more power and torque in the lower and mid-range revs, which is ideal for towing. Throttle response will also be improved along with fuel economy.We prefer to manufacture from scratch rather than just “re-core†an original Land Rover item, allowing us to use a far larger and more efficient core.This is an easy DIY installation job and will cost £285+vat.The second option is suitable for manual gearbox models only. This involves the installation of a much larger intercooler in front of the radiator and A/C system. There are pipework extensions to connect to the engine and turbo, which necessitate cutting two holes through to the engine bay. The benefits are greatly improved, up to 35% improvement in power and torque for £410+vat.Thermal stress is actually reduced as the EGT or combustion temperature is reduced dramatically. As your vehicle is not electronically controlled, there is no ECU to remap, so we optimise the fuel and boost settings to match the intercooler mechanically.We are offering a free fitting service which would take 2-4 hours depending on the conversion, otherwise the kits are available for DIY installation with comprehensive instructions.We also manufacture highly efficient uprated replacement aluminium water radiators and silicone water hoses, if this is of interest, I would be happy to give you more information.I hope this is of interest and look forward to hearing from you.
The radiators are very nice!!! 8)
OK - upgraded intercooler I can understand... but why go for an Alli radiator?Sell it to me guys - I'm on a mission to get my Disco finished (all mods etc.) by the end of the year! :twisted: Horness
Our rads are constructed using a light weight core which dissipates heat extremely well. The engine will be able to run at a constant temperature rather than the original system which is only just able to cope when working the vehicle hard or on hot days. Basically there are two sizes available for your car and all are constructed with an oil cooler as standard.The first is a direct replacement for the original but we make better use ofthe space available by reducing the size of the end tanks and increasing the size of the core so that the overall outside dimensions are the same but surface area is increased by over 30%. This rad is £355+vat.The second option is suitable when using our larger intercooler as it is constructed 65mm wider than a standard core to use some of some of the space freed up by removing the original intercooler. The design is as above but surface area is increased by 40% over standard. This option is £385+vat.Again, we offer free fitting for radiators.The plastic header tank suffers from splitting around the seam and can be replaced with an aluminium one for £75+vat. This will also help to radiate extra heat off.Another product which may be of interest is our silicone water hoses which are now available.
