Intercooler on KZJ70 TD..

[Farmer_Fred]

hey,
I've tried searching about this but didn't come up with anything so thought I'd go ahead and post!
I'm interested to know whether the KZJ 70 (turbo diesel 3.0l) can have an intercooler added onto it. Is there room under the bonnet? I imagine so!
thanks for any help on that one!
Fred

Just for your info, any TD without an intercooler could theoretically have one added. There is always a way to have it done though it may well end up being cost prohibitive. However, it's not always a matter of need or justifiable cost, sometimes it's all about what you want and what you are willing to spend. Any serious diesel shop should be able to give you some useful feedback on this issue.

you can build your own intercoller. your right as the issues you'll be addressing will be bonnet clearance. try http://toyotasurf.asn.au. they have guys putting a subaru or volvo intercoolers on there surfs powered by a KZ engine.

If you're not doing too much hot or muddy stuff, there's lots of room between the grill & radiator for a front mount.
