Hey everyone,
I've been hard at work researching different parts to order for proper preventative maintenance for my Prado 95. I just ordered a bunch of parts to refresh my cooling system, such as a new water pump, gaskets, fan/fan clutch, aluminum radiator, hoses, clamps, etc.
Onto the next bit of research- Adding a stock intercooler.
I have part numbers for the top mounted intercooler, rubber hoses, clamps & brackets, so it seems that it will be a fairly straightforward install.
I do have a few questions though, so perhaps you may be able to help me out here.
It looks like I'll need to swap out the hood insulation that has the rectangular hole/seal to clear the intercooler. Would I just need to get part #s 53341B & 53361A?
I have read a few posts where people want to do the same thing as me, but they have right hand drive vehicles.
To be clear- my prado 95 is a left hand drive model, so I believe the throttle linkage would be completely different, which is where most of my confusion comes from. Would I need to completely swap out the entire accelerator linkage and brackets to account for this?
Here is a photo of my engine bay where the accelerator linkage is shown:
I have also noticed on the parts diagram what appears to be a slightly different throttle body. It looks like the accelerator link is rotated from what mine is.
For notation purposes- I had to reference a Japanese right hand drive KZJ95W because it has the intercooler, whereas mine (a European version) does not have the intercooler. This adds to my confusion because I could not find a left hand drive KJZ95 model with an intercooler on the website, otherwise I would have referenced that.
Any help or guidance would sure help me out a lot.
