Thread: Inter-cooler Mounting Points

Thought I would put this back at the top,

Really would like some thoughts, experience and or knowledge on this one.

Too much money to spend "on-Line' if incorrect....

Cheers

im sure it will fit braket wise,, but the pipes are in diffrent spots,,, so no it wont,,

iv seen puma IC from td5 alive im sure

These are images of the a PUMA engine/intercooler.

All of the images that I have been able to find appear to have the same inlet/outlet as the TD5 ? It also appears to be consistent with the ASE intercooler for a TD5, but pictures can be deceiving...

I am very interested in your observations and comments,

Thanks heaps for your help.

Take some measurements of the hoses to see if they are the same dia. Drop a email to ASE and Ali Sport in the UK

This from the ASE web site:-

"Our Discovery/Defender cores are designed to bolt up to the existing factory position making installation simple for any DIY handyman. ASE uses a core which is over twice as thick as the factory unit resulting in much more air flow potential and greater cooling of the charged air."

Hope it helps.

I spoke to ASE yesterday arvo, they only stock intercoolers for the TD5 and couldn’t say if it would fit the PUMA.

I have managed to learn that the top and front bolt holes/brackets will fit but as yet cannot confirm if the diameter of the hoses are the same and if the inlet/outlet position on the end tanks are the same.

British Off Road in Qld said they are pretty sure the TD5 version will fit, but will have to wait until Monday to confirm.

PWR said they will make one if they can get a sample of a PUMA intercooler to go off. They also only stock a TD5 version.

I have also sent an email to Devon in the UK about the "Ali-Sport" - no reply as yet.

I cannot believe it is so hard to just buy an intercooler for a PUMA...
