how long to fit full size intercooler

how long doese it take to fit a allisport full size inter cooler to a 200 defender 110

with a few beer breaks, ciggy breaks, scratching me nuts......about a day??

the fella who owns the company is a member on here, why not send him a pm>

think his user name is andy_allisport .

Took me about an afternoon - in the wind and rain !

did you notice much diff in the motor gofish? i hear they add a good bit of BHP. they are fairly expensive though... be interested to hear your thoughts.

Took me about half a day. It's fiddly, and you have to be careful not to damage either the intercooler, the radiator, or the a/c radiator if fitted.
The mod is worthwhile, though. Power and economy improve.

I wouldn't say it makes the old girl go any faster - but the power, and torque delivery is greatly improved, and throttle response is instant. In everyday driving it makes the Landy just a joy to drive, a lot less gearchanges, and power is always on tap - no waiting for the power to arrive. Driving out of bends, when the need to overtake and pulling up hills is AMAZING -just feels sooo much more reassuring .

Yeh, they are expensive - but I'm pleased I fitted one.

I did see a second hand one on Ebay a few days back -



I've not done anyting is terms of altering the boost, or fuel - maybe it would go even better if I did - but I'm pleased with what it gives as it is.

Fuel consumption is better too, not by much, but noticeable.

Here it is:

land rover 200/300 full size intercooler on eBay, also, Land Rover, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 02-Mar-08 18:59:15 GMT)

i think i wud prefer a new one at that price

what are they new £300? would there be much wrong with a 2nd hand one? i guess they could be full of mud. im not in the market for 1 yet. wait till i got me 300tdi
