I do not know if they do your model but they do cover HDJ80
I would imagine an intercooler that uses liquid to cool the compressed air would be the most efficient. I don't know where you've seen a liquid cooled intercooler that uses hot engine coolant to do so, Waaz, the ones I've seen have their own separate radiator, reservoir, pump, and fan. The coolant in the intercooler system is totally separate from the engine cooling system. The Celica Turbo models I believe came with these, and I've seen pictures of someone adapting it to a 4runner. Also, G-Reddy makes these types of kits...for mucho $$$. Liquid is more dense than air and intuitively I feel this would cool better.

I think you are right stone, the cooling efficency of a liquid is alot higher than air and would be my first choice but there is too much of a space issue that I think an air-to air would maybe work better. The guys in germany that e-mailed me said they have done both on a 60. I have asked them for more info on it but have not heard back yet.
FJ-40 garage I am actually landing in frankfurt but am leaving right from there the same day to go to potsdam. I will however be in frankfurt again for the last two day of my trip so a pint or two would be great. I will let you know what days those will be closer to my trip. The wife can change plans in a minute.

Hello
Can you tell me why all the major diesel companies like Cummins, Cat and Dietroit have given up on liquid cooling, and have gone to Air to Air systems. They spend millions on research to gain efficency that equals torque, horse power, and fuel efficency.

That is why I would rather go to an air-to air cooler. I know the space requirements are easier with a liquid-to -air but then you have another system to worry about.
I have had a few reply from some people in germany and it seems there is no kit availiable anymore. All american imports hes done a few custom jobs so they are going to try and send me some photos along with as much info as they can on how they did the install and what intercooler they used and such. When I get the info I will post all I know so that we can all see.
hey Burger, while you are in germany check out the tools, I buy these pliers and they fawkin awesome. I buy mine at snap on for over a hundred. they are made in Germany and I am told by a friend much cheaper there. http://www.knipex.de/language/en/header_front.php
seriously they are perfect to carry. much better than a standard thumb wrench. I own all the sizes. they work great for bending small metal etc. just to let you know since you will be there. have fun

the actually ones I like, http://www.knipex.de/language/en/katalog/high/zangenschluessel.php
I bought mine at snap on. but this is who makes them for snap on. I own three sizes.

Definitely top of the list. Probably have to also weigh benefit to cost ratio. And also the increased space demand of the liquid cooled components...although because it has its own rad and pump, you can probably come up with some innovative places to remotely hide the cooler to make it all fit.
I believe the liquid cooled models will probably cool a lot more efficiently...think about standing around on a cold day, and then imagine standing in cold water. You lose heat a heck of a lot faster in water. But then again, how much do you really need to cool down the compressed air in order to reap the benefits? I suspect the air-to-air do it well enough not to warrant the liquid cooled system.
I wonder if the engines running really high boost are the ones that would benefit the most?

I`ll be back....
You might have a look at Papmahl-Dieseltuning
They do offer the Intercooler for the 80 Diesel and done 60´s a few years ago.
And if you come around Frankfurt/Main, let me know, so we can meet up, have a Beer & talk Cruisers
If you would be even interested to get a used one, get in contact with me and i will ask a few Dieselheads, maybe someone got what you seeking for.

Thanks for the info brownbearI will look into those wrenches as I am in the trades and good tools are hard to find.
As to the possibility of a used intercooler would be okay with me. I do not think there is too much of an issue between a used on or a new one.(maybe they get thinner over time)??
For me just getting the right intercooler rad is most important as there is many factors for determining the right size. All the plumbing needed I can make/buy here in N.A. If I can get one from a previous install then I would be farther ahead in the tech install end of things as some of the work is already done.
As for the install process there is only two ways,in front of the rad or horizontally behind the front bumper motor area. The second is notr my fav as rocks and other debris get jammed in there all the time. I guess I could make some sort of shroud to funnel the air as well as protect the intercooler rad. Behind the rad makes more sense but the plumbing will be very tricky. I have considered raising the center of my hood(just following the original factory lines) so that there is enough room to run the pipes from the turbo and engine intake to the intercooler without having to cut the rad support.I may try this on a donor hood first(not my beautiful JDM hood). Any way I can see it is it will be tricky but the reduction of strain on the motor as well as the cool factor are making me do it.I have a sickness.
All american imports is sending me some photos hopefully on monday so I can get an idea how they did theirs.

Fabbing up a custom intercooler system is not very difficult nor expensive.... one can use factory parts, even. I've built a few systems over the years, and would be happy to help anyone else in doing the same.
