This is an awesome project! Any updates? I love the Volvo TGB trucks - hope to have one of my own some day - I also had thoughts of installing a diesel drivetrain too! Great minds think alike

I run the PWR 4X10 barrel intercooler with a bosch pump and 2"X12X12 rad, it works much better than the air/air intercooler and to say that it is impossible to work is just wrong - it works great. Save designing and engineering my own water/air like the on here the PWR intercooler is the the most simple and effective way to intercool the 7X series. I have had both air/air on my truck and water/air and the water/air kicks butt over the air/air. I can't calculate the number on how efficient or bla bla bla, but I can vouch from actually installing and driving a truck with it installed. No speculation - just fact. I run 15PSI and my foot is to the mat most of the time.

Guess I know nothing then too - I just use it on my truck and it works, must be imagining it.
Don't get me wrong it will be beneficial but in my experience they do not suit turbo diesel well.
My point of view was not without experience as you seemed to suggest.
Ok, so you have run the PWR on a 1HZ and know how it works, and compared the practical results to an a2a system on the same truck?
Boy, if my intercooler doesn't work and yours does I would certainly like to run yours on my truck. Not saying that yours doesn't work as it surely would - I would just love to see how much better it works because with the way mine works on my truck I don't need any improvement to be happy. My set up is the same as the denco kit I am pretty sure, but I use a large rad.
Saying something works or something doesn't work because of a theory can be right most of the time - but practical results speak for themselves. I am not selling intercoolers so I have nothing to gain by saying IT WORKS GREAT.
EDIT yes there would be better systems that could be "designed and made" but to make something marginally better for much more money/time and effort is false economy in my opinion. I bought this stuff for about 800 or less and everything is off the shelf. Works like a charm, and night and day from no intercooler to this, and better then the a2a type. I still have some mods to make, I need a bleeder on top of the barrel because I think there is still a bit of air in it - so it can only get better.
Cant see anywhere I tried to sell an intercooler must have missed the link I posted.
As for replacing PWR's yes been there done that have the data. Never replaced an air to air so can't compare as yet, early next month not a problem as we are currently doing one.
As for something been marginally better without paper and testing your just poking a stick in the dark. Like anything you get what you pay for.

Have fun with your theories.

Mate, not having a go at you either, it just throws me off when someone takes a jab at something with no first hand experience on it - like a pwr on a 1HZ - like what denco sells. To say it won't work was wrong, it does - but just maybe not to your liking.

I was told that the 6 inch was too big, someone in south america runs 2X 4X8's under the hood of their HDJ81 - no idea how well it works.
I made the enquiry through Enquiries@pwr.com.au
I just phone but were in the same time zone![]()
