SRX D4D intercooler - who has done this?

Post by Wave »

Has anyone upgraded the 2.5 D4D SRX with an intercooler?

Does the 3.0D4D cooler set up fit? i.e. can one just go buy the cooler, pipes, brackets etc off the 3.0 and bolt it on to the 2.5?
And get a bonnet scoop fitted of course

Not huge, just feels like she has longer legs on the open road :thumbup:

Yes, did dyno afterwards about a month later and fitted a chip. At Dastec

Do a chip first, less expensive (R3000.00)than a intercooler and man, what a difference it made on my 2.5 d4d. I almost like my bakkie now. :shock:

The idea is to chip, zorst & intercool at the same time to get the most out :)
