Awesome video mate, love how detailed it is. I have a front mount coming soon, different brand but I'm sure I'll come back to this video for a few tips.
Great video thanks mate I’m just about to install this exact kit on my series 4 zdcrd. Just wondering what size hole saw u used for the piping. How big did you go?
Great to hear mate, it’s been a game changer. When I first cut the holes I used a 75mm hole saw as suggested in the instructions. That worked out okay for the drivers side but on the passenger side I was having trouble positioning the pipe and getting it to clear the A/C pipe so I had to make it a bigger hole. I would recommend a 100mm holes on the passenger side. Any other questions I’m happy to share. 👍
Thanks mate. I’m not sure about the high mount winches, I guess it depends on what sort of bar you have and how far the it sits back so I couldn’t tell you to be honest. PDI do also make a large core it might be worth checking out.
Core size is overkill for the 3L and too much cutting for it. Not a fan of those clamps on the hoses on the cooler and you will oneday figure out why. The strap braket on bottom of the IC will rub and fret a hole through. Nothing should ever touch the bar/plate section.
Thanks for commenting. That size Intercooler is perfect for what I need, intake temps and egts are well done. With the setup I have and the weight of the GU plus towing I can sit at 110kms/h on the freeway and the egts sit 250/280. 👌 The clamps that came with the kit are solid clamps and I’ve used different clamps over years so I had no hesitation in using them. Yes there’s a bit of cutting but it’s all worth it. The bracket that’s in the middle of the cooler doesn’t contact the core as I have a rubber strip behind it. It’s made a huge difference to the GU and I’d recommend it to anyone. Thanks for watching.
@@nom_ben_livingthedream I looked at the kits but the $$$ was over the top. My core is 600x300x75 and sits forward, no metal cut at alld and bonnet bracket still in place, cut the front plastic grill. Hole punches used for pipe hole, no hole saws or jig-saw cuts. I run 20PSI on the snail and have EGT's of 250°C @ 110kph. The charge air temperature on entry is bloody hot (steams in the rain) but by halfway over the core, already ambient. Now you see why I said core is oversized for 3L . FMIC's are the best for any simple and reliable diesel setup. Hose clamps, they hold till they don't and if you blow a hose out bush, common to never see the clamp again and the sealing area will now be oiled and never seal the same . Good clamps are a must along with spares. 510K kays on the clock and still going.
@@hughesy43 eBay core, 600x300x75, eBay 2.5" pipe & rubber kit and a weekend of cool beverages and a bit of swearing. Not saying all kits are evil, just saying that there is enough on the market to be seeing better pricing and that these rigs are not new so why re-invent stuff when you can work with whats already there.
There’s plenty of benefits for installing a front mount. Cooler combustion temperatures mean better performance and fuel efficiency. Diesel engines perform better when they have cooler air/fuel ratios. Front mounts don’t have any issues with heat soaking from your hot engine. Your EGT’s are a lot lower all the time. I can keep going but that’s just few.
Excellent video. I could see what you where doing. Great job.
Thanks. I enjoyed making that one hopefully it will help someone out.
Exactly what I was looking for - thanks for taking the time mate, looks awesome mate
It’s definitely worth making the effort to install, it’s made a huge improvement. Thanks.

Hey mate loved the detail in the video can tell if it would fit with a hi mount winch thanks

U stil got ur air conditioning
Air conditioning works fine no issues there.
@@nom_ben_livingthedream what's the benefit of doing this m8
There’s plenty of benefits for installing a front mount.
Cooler combustion temperatures mean better performance and fuel efficiency.
Diesel engines perform better when they have cooler air/fuel ratios.
Front mounts don’t have any issues with heat soaking from your hot engine.
Your EGT’s are a lot lower all the time.
I can keep going but that’s just few.
