Introduce myself + intercooler on 1KZTE

[syche]

Hie Troopie/ Dhula,

in fact, i have already the intercooler coming from Prado but incomplete.

I have made by myself connexion pipe on inlet cylinder cover, and just the pipe between the turbocharger and the aircooler is now missing.

I have check with Dhula's vin number but unfortunatly in my french dealer.

One advise don't come with your TLC in France, It's impossible to pass orders for spare parts for cars coming from abroard.
It's creazy but i think it 's the new policy every where in the world.

Coming back to my problem, i will also do this missing part by myself.

If you have some pics for it and also for the cooler's support on cylinder cover.

Is there a fan under the cooler?

Concerning my choice, i prefer a top cooler, a little bit less efficient concerning the cooling in comparison with front cooler, but more efficient for the torque and delay of turbocharging.

Hi Fidou, I am French too,...well sometimes.

How is your IC job going? Can you tell us some more about the specific part you are missing?

If by anychance you plan a trip to north africa, Maroco or tunisia for example, you will find what you need easilly. Else try to ask some of your friends going there, you can get it new from a toy dealer or second hand from a junk yard. There are several arround the big towns.

Is the parts you are missing so specific that you can't do them yourself?

For the parts ref and pictures, you can use toyodiy and search your vehicule type by engine and country ...look for a post 97 african model.
