Uiters netjies gedoen, nice!

Dit lyk pragtig maar ek het net 'n vragie. Is die intercooler van aluminium gemaak? Ek wonder want ek sien hy is swart geverf.

Destyds het die paneelkloppers my 7M se aluminium radiator swart geverf en dit was 'n balls up hulle het hom agterna geruil met 'n nuwe ene. Swart absorbeer mos hitte dis hoekom vandag se radiators wat van aluminium gemaak word nie geverf moet word nie.

Bennie ja dis Aluminium en ek het die welding laat doen by die ou wat oorspronklik die I/C vir SAC gebou het.

Bennie dis nogal waar wat jy se maar ek het hom so gekoop by SAC destyds as ek eendag vervelig is sal ek hom afhaal en met iets skoonmaak weet nie wat nie maar ek sou hom ook eerder aluminium kleur wou gehad het.
Enige idee wat ek kan gebruik wat nie die Alu sal beskadig nie

Gents do you have any back spin on the turbo with the intercooler on?

Hi Frik
Yislaaik ive been watching and reading the posts aith eager anticipation to see the results. I must say you have done a very profesional job Im most impressed with what it looks loke. I hope the results in consumption and power are as much of an improvement.
i too am very interested in doing the mod, as with most KZTE drivers, i have felt the bonnet after doing some driving in summer, and bliksum it can get hot. i see Niel is also interested, and he is also in CT, so ill see were he finds the parts.
ill be looking around to see what i can find back in CT.
Thanx again for posting all the info and pics, im sure there will be alot of interest to follow from fellow Lux owners.

Ian thanks for the compliments and yes it makes a huge difference I took her out for a long spin yesterday and I good feel a huge difference especially in the mountains at Loskopdam area.I will feedback on my fuel consumption tomorrow as I will fill it up this afternoon and then we will see what is the difference.Something I have notice is that my Temperature gauge running a little bit lower than usual which tells me the engin also benifit from that extra draught over it.
If you guys need any help please dont hesitate buy a ticket to CT and I will come and help install :D

[Mr Glan]

As far as fuel consumption goes I have kept a record over the last 6 months. I have 32inch Maxis mud tyres on my Kzte Dc4x4 and a 2inch body lift and TJM raised suspension, so it is a bit heavier on diesel. I also drive like a kardoes (+130Km/h on the highway)and give the sedan cars a go up the hills, just to see the look on there faces when my Tyrannosourus Lux comes screeming past them(PRICELESS).
I get 7.5Km/L town driving.
7.2Km/L highway.

[Niel]

TJM raised suspension

pls start a new thread and tell us more re TJM, your eperience with them we alway talk abought OME ......

I also drive like a liefling (+130Km/h on the highway)and give the sedan cars a go up the hills, just to see the look on there faces when my Tyrannosourus Lux comes screeming past them(PRICELESS).

I get 7.5Km/L town driving.

this is what I am getting withthe 31" as well. I will rather not mention the speeds just incase the traffic department decide to have a look :problem:

[frik]

My last posting on this thread.

I have filled up the bakkie yesterday and fuel consumption before mod was 7.4 km/l after mad 8.9 km/l so what do I have to say more. Estimated pay back time for mod between 7 and 8 months.
Intercooler fitted at a secure place no water can be sucked in via the pipes. Less turbo lag
Not sure what else

It looks cool too :D

[BenHur]

Paint it silver and you may even see a better figure

Hierdie lyk na 'n baie suksesvolle oplossing!

Sal self ook graag soiets met die lorrie wil doen

Boss if you need help PM me there are a few things that can be done differently .

[Boss2]

Will do for sure, Thanks!

Almost neighbours I see
Stay in the deep south - Alberton..

[Niel]

there are a few things that can be done differently

Frik, you can not hold out on us like this :shifty:

Pls tell us all

[frik]

Neil the one thing I would have done differently was to lower it by 10mm as mine is just to close to the bonnet the result is it wear the lining inside the bonnet due to engin movement . I just neet to make my brackets n little bit shorter and cut the pipe but too lazy to do that maybe one morning I will do it :D

[Jacques KZ]

Baie baie netjies Frik!!

Definitief nou op my lysie vir my KZ!!


Groete,
Jacques

Gents, did you notice if the vehicle runs warmer when i.e. in slow trafic or in off road conditions where the airflow is not that high over the bonnet?

[Mr Glan]

Niel, mine actualy runs cooler in traffic as well as offroad, it seems as if the bonet is also cooler to the touch. I have re-routed my exhaust past the transfer case in stead of under the gearbox, because I kept on damaging manifold gaskets when messing around offroad. This made the cabin temp around the footwell higher, so I wraped the exhaust from the turbo exit down to the flex joint with heat tape (boiler lader tape), this keeps everthing much cooler than it used to be.

[Niel]

Thanks, I was looking at your pics and if one had to fit a fan to cool the intercooler down there is not a lot of space for it

[frik]

Neil on my particular I/C mod there is ample space between the engin and the I/C at least 70mm plus.I am sure you will find a fan that will fit in between.

Personally I dont see the need for a fan my engin runs coolers since the mod.

[Niel]

Any feedback on the "long term results" on the mod on the KZTE

[Gertc]

What size Inter cooler core did you guys used?

[Gertc]

Frik kon jy al die scoop geseel kry op die intercooler?
