[burger]

I was just looking at one of your posts and it says you have an intercooler on your 60. How do you find the intercooler,what motor do you have and do you have any photos you can share. If you do not have any photos I also live in n van and would love to get some shots for myself and for all that have thought of this mod.

Cheers

John, did you also put in A/C?? I know you were talking about it last spring. If you did I'd be REAL interested in how the intercooler is installed and what the doner car was. I don't see alot of room between the grille and the A/C condensor for an intercooler. It would be a nice addition on my truck while we are down here in Central America. All the steep hills and high altitude here assure that my pyrometer is regularly reading fairly high.
I'm not too concerned about adding an intercooler as the only time I've ever seen my water temperatures rise was in Arizona climbing hills fully loaded at 110 F outside.

Charles, no i didn't put the ac in, not really worthwhile (well it is worthwhile, just not for me I guess).
I used a 740 volvo intercooler.
The intercooler lowered my temps by at least 100 degrees and was cheap enough to do, so that is why i did it.

John, are you going to be around this summer? If so I'd like to have a look at the intercooler setup while I'm up in B.C. I'll be up around the July 1 weekend. I haven't seen a Volvo 740 down here yet so I may need to pick up an intercooler when I'm up in Canada. Turbo's aren't too popular here in Central America, mostly because they get a bad rap from folks who don't take care of them.

Our truck turns heads because of the power we have running diesel! Folks will try to pass us but are unable too! Bet you wouldn't ever say that about a 3B in Canada or the states.
