2.8 intercooler info

Postby MUsterious1 » Sat Oct 03, 2009 10:44 am

i was thinking of fitting intercooler on my 2.8 and was wondering if it would upset the air fuel mixture and if i could just fix it without any mobs
I think therefore i am confused

I am doing the same mod, got an intercooler off a 2.8 and a bonnet scoop, I think the hardest part is going to be moving the turbo housing around so the piping works.
Cheers,
Andrew

There is no air fuel mixture as such on a diesel. There is a maximum fuel but you always get max air
Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them

if you can't get a factory set-up over there, then just get an after market intercooler and mount to suit. The pipe work could take a bit of effort, but wont' be too bad.
Oh how i miss my mu, the lux is just not the same :(

I used a 900 saab intercooler on mine,it doesn't have to be from a diesel, mine was off a gas motor, see photo of my 2.5, same as 2.8
